There are many options for a first date: Going out to dinner, going to the movies, a walk in the park, getting coffee, a drink, going dancing, literally the list could go on and on. Every now and then, however, there is a first date so unique and cute, Pixar really needs to get their hands on it. Currently, the first date idea that's doing it for us is rescuing a lost dog. That's right! You've found the dog people here and we demand dog rescue as an acceptable first date option!!

In this recently viral video, you can see dog rescue is a perfect first date idea—maybe the best! This couple who met on Hinge were on their way to enjoy their first date. However, as they were driving down the highway, the guy noticed something that made stop the car. There was a dog alone and scared on the side of the road, all alone with no owner! Any dog person knows what to do next: You stop and rescue the canine companion!

So, they stopped and picked up the dog, who happened to be a very sweet, well-groomed, and well-cared for german shepherd lady. They immediately took a detour from their date and took her to see if she were chipped, which she was not. The girl didn't know what to do, so she asked her date if he was going to call animal control. He replied with the best answer a dog person could, he said no way! He could tell this sweet girl belonged to a loving family, so they were going to find them and return her. Even though she was not chipped and had no collar, they went to the task.

And guess what? They found the family! The sweet doggo got reunited with her loving family who had desperately trying to find her. They were very happy indeed that they stopped their first date to help their scared pupper. The girl was so enamored by this heroic act by her date that they now even have a second date planned.

Was that a dog, or was that cupid??

“Update, guys. He's in target now because the dog had no chip to go get a leash and a bowl. I was like, ‘oh, call animal control.” He said, ’*uck, that, dog's mine now!' So me and her are chilling and she's already grown attached to him because she cried the second that he left the car. She's literally crying cause he went into Shake Shack…"

“Good morning, guys. Update on the dog: We did find the owners. They posted on neighbors by Ring… She went missing around there. So we contacted the owners and she is home. She is happy. We did not actually keep her—that was a joke. Please don't hate me for that. Of course we found the owners. We could not do that… She was obviously somebody's dog. She was so well trained. No fleas, nothing. Very healthy. But she's back home and she's happy, and I had a great first date!”
