A dog owner has captured the sweet moment his pooch found “love at first sight” when she noticed a dog of the same breed in the car next to her and couldn’t contain her excitement.
Olu Fadipe, 34, from London, captured the wholesome moment while driving with his dog, Hope, whose life he shares on social media.
According to Olu, Hope, an XL Bully, was relaxing in the front passenger seat when the pair pulled up to slow traffic at a roundabout.
In the adjacent car, another XL Bully noticed Hope first and excitedly stuck its head out of the window, “woofing sweet noises,” Olu said.
The 34-year-old then watched Hope and her fellow pooch bark back and forth at each other, with Olu capturing the show of love on video.

Olu said: “The response has been nothing short of a stampede of adoration.
“It’s like everyone suddenly remembered that the world needs more wholesome content.
