Who said Disneyland is just for humans? This one puppy got the trip of a lifetime when he accompanied his human to the happiest place on Earth. The service dog didn’t just follow around his owner; he enjoyed some of the best things Disney has to offer and got a touristy caricature drawn to commemorate the trip.
As first reported by Buzzfeed, 26-year-old Katie was sent this amazing photo by her parents who were enjoying a Disneyland vacation. They spotted a pup getting his portrait done at a caricature stand in the park.

Katie shared the picture and it’s since gotten over 50,000 retweets (because it’s pretty much the most amazing thing ever). Basically, people on the Internet totally lost it.

And as one person pointed out, the dog is surfing in the caricature. Surfing! We can’t make this up.

The dog is currently training to be a service dog. His name is Yahoo, and he lives in San Marcos, California. His owner has been teaching obedience and socialization until he can graduate to help someone with disabilities. The pup is part of Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit that breeds and trains service dogs then offers them to people with disabilities for no cost. He’s currently living with a volunteer who probably took him to Disneyland to help socialize him with other people. So far, he’s a very, very good boy! Just look at how still he’s sitting.

Yahoo’s volunteer admitted to Buzzfeed News that they took the pup to an area of high distraction in order to teach him how to focus (but also because the trip would be fun). Yahoo is working hard training to be a hero, so it’s understandable that he’d need a day to soak up the Disneyland sun.
You deserve it, Yahoo!
