Centaur's Arrival

Centaur, the rescue dog, arrived at the Austin Animal Center on Saint Patrick's Day. When he first entered the play yard, the shelter staff expected him to run around, play with a toy, or maybe roll in the grass.

A Surprising Choice

To everyone's surprise, Centaur's eyes fixed on an old, cleaning bucket in the corner. Instead of doing the usual doggy things, Centaur made that bucket his new prized possession. It wasn't long before an amused volunteer snapped a photo and posted it on social media.

Social Media Suggestions

On the social media post, people commented that Centaur might enjoy having his own pool instead of just the bucket. The shelter staff agreed and decided to get him a kiddie pool.

The Kiddie Pool Revelation

When the kiddie pool arrived, Centaur humored everyone by laying in it for a few minutes. However, it quickly became clear that a pool was never part of Centaur's bucket list. Politely, he hopped back into his beloved bucket, treating it like the coziest bed ever.

Becoming Viral

Centaur's antics quickly went viral, making people everywhere smile. Despite all the online attention, Centaur stayed at the shelter for another two months. However, his story had a happy ending. He was finally adopted—and yes, his bucket went with him!
