Everyone knows the famous balcony scene in Shakespeare’s classic romantic tragedy: Romeo woos his secret star-crossed from down below her balcony.
Recently, a the owner of a dog named Aubrey found his golden retriever reenacting that scene with another dog: the pet was gazing out the window, and looking down he noticed Aubrey had a boyfriend downstairs:
The dogs had been staring at each other from worlds apart, just like the famous pair of Shakespearean lovers.
