Watch what happens with a dog meets a ground squirrel (VIDEO)

San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is a paradise for humans and animals alike. In addition to being an idyllic oasis of calm for stressed-out city dwellers, the park also holds many unexpected experiences for furry family members. Fiona the Dog had fun that day!

Both furry animals make contact

This was impressively demonstrated recently in an Instagram post by a dog owner. There, she showed in a short video how her four-legged friend Fiona fell head over heels in love with a cute ground squirrel from Golden Gate Park.

Fiona is a Pyrenean mountain dog who lives in San Francisco. Almost every day, she and her owner take a trip to the park to get some fresh air - and to make some new friends. The family-friendly dog has very specific ideas about that.

It was worth the wait

Somewhere along the way, Fiona learned that the holes she sometimes sees in the park are the work of local ground squirrels, according to thedodo.com website. And if she waits long enough, one may come out to greet her.

Fiona's owner told thedodo.com that she does it quite a bit.

She thinks everyone wants to greet her.

Surprisingly, the ground squirrel Fiona encountered actually seemed happy to have her there waiting for them.

Despite being much smaller than the dog, the ground squirrel didn't seem to be afraid of her - suggesting that they can tell at a glance what her owner has always known: Fiona is the cutest dog ever, thedodo.com adds.
