Cute video: Land puppy meets sea puppy nose to nose at San Francisco beach, til seal bolts

A 2-year-old boxer who loves the ocean had an unexpected, nose-to-nose encounter with another type of puppy, a “puppy of the sea,” at a San Francisco beach, a video shows.

“Colby Jack McCheese is a 2-year-old boxer that loves the ocean, (but) he wasn’t expecting to encounter the puppy of the sea,” the dog’s owner said in a caption for the video.

The video, licensed by ViralHog via VideoElephant, was taken on Aug. 6, 2024 at Crissy Field Beach in San Francisco during an afternoon swim.

“The seal and my dog were beyond curious of each other,” the licensor said. “I started to video because it was cute until I got scared when it got too close for comfort. The seal approached curiously before getting scared off.”
