Last May, as we did every morning, we took a sunrise walk with Mana around Lake Bled. As the first rays of sunlight illuminated the tranquil waters of the lake, I decided to have Mana pose on his bench with the island in the background. I say “his” bench because he had grown accustomed to stopping there every morning.
As I pressed the shutter for the first time, a group of Chinese tourists called out to us, eager to take photos of Mana as well. Without hesitation, I started filming the amusing scene of Mana happily wagging his tail on his bench, surrounded by a dozen cameras. It was an unforgettable and joyful moment where the beauty of Lake Bled and Mana’s spontaneity created shared memories with visitors from afar.
That very evening, I posted the video on our TikTok account and the next day, it appeared on the websites of the New York Post, Metro.co.uk, Giphy, Yahoo News, and the Italian newspaper Corriere.
A lovely anecdote that shows how small moments can sometimes create lasting memories and unexpected connections.
