Groomers reunite boy with lost stuffed dog — but first, they gave the pup a spa day

A stuffed animal accidentally left on a bench had quite the adventure before being reunited with its owner.

Earlier this month, a boy in Standish, Maine, forgot to grab his companion, and the stuffed dog was found by groomers from the Lavish Dog Day Spa. They wanted the young owner to know his pup was in good hands and well taken care of, so they posted photos online showing the colorful stuffed animal getting a bath, having his hair brushed, and receiving a new bow.

On Sunday, the boy picked up his dog from the spa, CBS Boston reports, and his mom wrote on Facebook that they were grateful to the groomers for keeping a close eye on the puppy. Her son, she added, " was so happy to be reunited" with his pal. Catherine Garcia
