In the video, Paul, who is blind, brought his guide dog through airport security while traveling. This canine’s experience with the TSA was surprisingly cute! First, Mr. Maple had to walk through the metal detector by himself. Paul had already done so, and the pooch was clearly very happy to be rejoining his owner on the other side!
Once that was over, an airport security officer pulled Paul and the guide dog aside so that he could give the pup a pat down. As soon as the man knelt down in front of the pooch, Mr. Maple’s tail started wagging. He had no idea why this stranger was giving him affection, but he was very excited about it! Judging from Matthew and Paul’s footage, it seems like the TSA officer might have enjoyed the interaction a little bit, as well.
This adorable video has received over 13 million views! Commenters loved seeing this guide dog’s precious reaction to the airport security pat down.
“Awwww,” wrote one user. “Maple thinks he’s just meeting a new friend.”
Another joked, “Mr. Maple is trying to look suspicious so he gets more pats.”
In the comments section, Matthew and Paul explained that the whole reason for the additional inspection was that the pooch’s harness had caused the metal detector to go off. It happens pretty much every time they fly, so the guide dog often gets patted down by airport security. We’re sure Mr. Maple has no problem with this!
