And being a pro at this game, the dog always manages to locate Terrell by eagerly sniffing him around.
Bronx is actually a service dog for Terrell’s four-year-old nephew Amante who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy.
“Bronx is a great boy. He has been a Service Dog for about a year or two for my nephew, Amante,” Terrell told Story Trender.
The family brought the dog to provide relief to the four-year-old.
“As you could imagine taking care of a four-year-old with spinal atrophy is very tough in every aspect; physically, mentally and especially emotionally,” Terrell said.
“The family have introduced Bronx into the picture to be a sense of relief for everyone in such a tough situation.”
Terrell also loves the hide and seek game and can’t contain his happiness while playing it with Bronx.
“At first I was curious as to why Bronx never picked up the ball when I’d try to play fetch with him,” he said.
“He would just run to the ball and turn around and walk back to me, then I would have to go pick up the ball myself.
“Then I realized that as a puppy he used to live in a small apartment so he never really had the space to get out and run to play fetch.
“So, as an alternative to finding fun, my niece would throw the ball down the hallway and into a room so Bronx would have to run and search for the ball.
“By the time he would find the ball, my niece would be hiding out of sight, so he would know to come back and start searching for her!
“I put it together that he doesn’t know fetch but he knows and absolutely loves hide & seek. I’ve been playing it with him ever since.
“When he finds me, he runs to me with a huge smile on his face & his tail cutting through the wind with excitement because he knows I’m giving him good boy pats whenever he finds me.”
Bronx has become a real pro at playing hide and seek.
Terrell said: “He’s a very smart dog so he remembers where my favorite hiding spots are so I need to step my game up soon!”
