Yellow Labrador Being 'One of the Girls' is the Sweetest Boy in the World

Some dogs are just for the girls, and there's nothing you can do about it. They're girl dogs, and not in the sense of literally being girl dogs, either. They're simply dogs that do best when surrounded by feminine energy.

A perfect example of this popped up on Wednesday, August 7th, when a Yellow Lab proved that he truly is one of the girls. His mom wanted everyone to know that he's thriving there, and it's honestly amazing to see:

Vermont Nose Best is exactly right. He knows exactly what he needs to be a successful service dog, and it's wonderful. Good for him!

Vermont is a service dog for Abbie: she has Type 1 Diabetes, and his job is to alert when she's going low. That means alerting Abbie, of course, but he's also trained to seek out others if something really bad happens to her. A service dog and their handler need to have an insane amount of trust between them, and luckily, these two have that.

He spends most of his time around girls; they even just got a new puppy, a girl dog named Nova. She's a Fox Red Lab, and we're not sure if she'll be trained as a service dog, but she'll definitely be trained in Being A Girl. Vermont can help with that!

Do Dogs Really Like Women More?

Vermont's case is not the only one; there are lots of dogs out there that seem to dislike, or at least distrust, men. There are plenty of stories of women whose dogs have to learn to love their boyfriends!

It's difficult to generalize in this area, because the actual answer will vary immensely from dog-to-dog and a lot of the reasons dogs supposedly hate men are based on harmful stereotypes. However, women are often heavily involved in the breeding/whelping process, so many dogs have positive associations with women from puppyhood. Additionally, women have softer voices and are often smaller than men, which can make them seem less intimidating.

At the end of the day, a dog is going to grow to be okay with anyone who is nice to them, even if it takes a while. Frequent exposure, calm demeanors, and lots of positive reinforcement could get even the most male-averse of dogs to warm up to a male companion. As far as Vermont is concerned, though, men don't even actually exist. Has he ever even seen a man before? Unclear!
