Stella the Dog's Joyful Autumn Leaf Leaps in Maine

Stella's Favorite Season: Autumn

• 🍂 Stella the dog clearly knows when fall arrives, and it's unequivocally her favorite season.
• 🏡 Every year, she enthusiastically bolts out of her home in Freeport, Maine, to leap into a massive pile of leaves in the front yard.

The Origin of the Leaf Leaps

• 🐶 Stella first started her joyful leaf-leaping antics as a puppy.
• 📹 Her owner, Jody Hartman, captured videos of Stella happily wagging her tail with her head buried in the leaves.

A Dog's Love for Leaves

• 🌳 The owner describes Stella as simply frolicking in the leaves, unsure if it's the sound, the feeling, or something else that captivates her.
• 🍁 The behavior began spontaneously when Stella launched herself into a raked leaf pile without any prompting, which inspired her owner to film it.
• 🐾 The leaves also provide a perfect hiding spot, with Stella camouflaged among the foliage, only her eyes and nose visible.
