Mid-flight friendships don\u2019t usually start in the footwell \u2014 but Ritchie\u2019s not your usual passenger. The big, cloud-like Great Pyrenees<\/a> is calmly curled up by his mom\u2019s seat when the woman in front of them reaches back with a tempting offering: a strip of beef jerky. You can almost hear the internal debate in Ritchie\u2019s head \u2014 he wants it, but rules are rules.<\/p>\n The video, shared by @ritchiethepyr, shows the gentle giant waiting for his mom\u2019s nod before accepting the treat. Once he gets it, there\u2019s no turbulence here, just pure beefy joy at 30,000 feet.<\/p>\n The internet\u2019s officially obsessed. The video has already crossed 593K likes, and the comments section reads like a waiting list for Ritchie\u2019s next flight. The breed is known for its calm temperament and the kind of patience you rarely see in humans midair. And Ritchie handles the situation like a seasoned traveler.<\/p>\n The clip opens with him sitting patiently by his mom\u2019s feet, tucked neatly in the tight confines of his flight row. The passenger seated in front of them is trying to deliver a special snack through the small gap between the seats. The in-video text reveals, \u201cThis lady sitting in front of us bought a pack of beef jerky just to give it to Ritchie.\u201d He sniffs, pauses, and waits \u2014 that signature stillness of a dog who knows manners matter.<\/p>\n When his mom gives the go-ahead, he sweetly takes the treat. Then he lies down to properly enjoy it. His mom explains, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t take it from strangers,\u201d since he\u2019s trained \u201cto really listen to me in airports and planes.\u201d<\/p>\n The passenger laughs, calling him \u201cthe best.\u201d And really, she\u2019s not wrong. Between his frequent flights to California (shared custody<\/a>, no big deal) and his record of causing \u201ccute delays<\/a>,\u201d Ritchie\u2019s basically a four-legged frequent flyer icon.<\/p>\n As one commenter put it, \u201cI\u2019d pay extra to sit next to him.\u201d Attention, airlines \u2014 this, right here, is your in-flight entertainment upgrade.<\/p>\n The post Video: Dog Enjoys Beef Jerky Treat From Stranger on Flight<\/a> appeared first on DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nDog gets beef jerky from stranger on flight after owner\u2019s approval in video<\/h2>\n
