I pet Max. He is a 13 year old border collie, Brittany spaniel mix. He is a happy dog who likes to do good things and eat treats. He has never been hyper. When he was a puppy, he was so lazy he had to be carried outside to go to the bathroom. pic.twitter.com/zX9PgOsL7N

A 9-year-old boy named Gideon is taking Twitter by storm. His goals are pretty simple. He just wants to pet as many dogs as he can and share them with the world, and his fans couldn’t be happier to see all the cuteness. If that’s not the sweetest, most wholesome thing you’ve read today, well you must stick to some pretty wholesome corners of the internet.
This is my dog, Walter. We found him running across the highway. He had been sprayed by a skunk and was heart worm positive. We love him. #NationalPetDay pic.twitter.com/ZMAYS6YytC

To date, Gideon has pet and posted over 350 pooches on his @IvePetThatDog twitter account. He always includes a short description with a few facts about his new furry friends. Hopefully his own dog, Walter, who was found running across a highway, isn’t too jealous when his boy comes home smelling like other pups.
I pet @DrakeUGriff. He is a 6 year old champion bulldog who is now the mascot for @DrakeUniversity. He is stubborn and likes attention. He has his own bed in the Admissions building. Griff’s favorite thing is food. He was once caught on top of the buffet table at a public event. pic.twitter.com/YPGEcs8RgK

Of course, Gideon is always polite and asks for permission to pet, then lets the dogs get a nice sniff before he touches them. His Twitter account has over 90k followers, and that number is growing fast. Recently, Gideon got to stop by Drake University in Iowa and pet their mascot, Griff the Bulldog. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing all the doggos and puppers that Gideon gets to pet next!
I pet Rusty. He is a 5 year old Rottweiler mix. He is normally a happy dog, but he can get scared around new people. He loves to play fetch with his tennis ball. Rusty is the 350th dog I’ve pet! pic.twitter.com/vWKZoW60xk

I pet Shadow. She is 10 years old. Shadow found her current home when one caregiver died and the other went into a nursing home. Shadow likes to sleep in her own, special bed. pic.twitter.com/H0NuZNPR3K
