Dog Puts Himself In Time-Out Too So Boy Doesn't Have To Do It Alone
"I think Dash knew he needed his buddy.â
Peyton and his faithful dog Dash are pretty much pros at having a good time together â but during those not-so-fun moments in life, their adorable bond doesnât break.
In fact, it only seems to grow stronger.

Peytonâs mom, Jillian Marie Smith, knew right away that Dashâs presence in their home would bring a whole new level of joy and comfort. And it does.
âDash has made life happier for the whole family,â she said. âMost of all, for Peyton. If you ask Peyton, Dash is his buddy.â

Like all rambunctious little kids, Peyton occasionally needs consequences to steer him away from problem behavior. So, after picking a fight with his sister the other day, Smith and her husband agreed he should spend a few minutes in time-out to think about why that wasnât OK.
Though hardly a harsh sentence, Dash evidently couldnât stand to see his friend face it alone.
When Smith checked on her son, she saw this: Dash by his side, having put himself in time-out, too:

âI couldn't be mad long because it was just so cute how Peyton wrapped his arm around Dash,â Smith said. âWhen Peyton had to go to time-out, I think Dash knew he needed his buddy.â
Before long, Peytonâs time-out came to an end â and, of course, Dashâs did as well.

This likely wonât be the last time Peyton finds himself in a little hot water. But as he navigates the road of early life, and experiences all those lessons learned along the way, itâs reassuring to know that his best dog friend will be by his side through it all.
Dash clearly wouldn't have it any other way.
