Sorry to be that person but

Because most seal species have fused hip joints (not all, but most) they can’t rotate their flippers to walk the way we’re used to seeing sea lions do, they’re generally very restricted in their ability to move on land. It heads in what appears to be a direct line for the water away from the person touching it. It doesn’t go to cuddle the dog; it gets stuck on it. 

:/

don’t be sorry, it’s good, I didn’t know that about seal behaviour! I figured it wasn’t actually “cuddling” the dog, and I know there’s regulations in America about petting seals

DOG STUCK

DOG IS STUCK

PLEASE
I BEG OF YOU
