This inquisitive dog was left stunned when a playful seal gave him a friendly slap on the cheek after he bounded into the sea during a game of fetch.

The seal suddenly appeared and patted the boxer dog on the face during the unusual encounter after he chased a tennis ball that had been thrown into the ocean by his owner.

The young dog noticed the baby seal with its head poking out the water and instead of retrieving his ball, he circled his intriguing discovery.

The 53-year-old human resources manager said: 'We had been walking to Aberdour castle when we saw a woman playing fetch on the seafront.

'She threw the ball into the water and without hesitation the dog ran in. The ball landed near a seal and the dog was fascinated by the creature.

'Instead of reaching for his ball he began circling the seal. They were incredibly docile and it was wonderful to watch.

'I was shocked by how calm the dog was, he was quite big and if I'd seen him walking along the road I would've crossed to the other side of the street.

That is cute, but having worked with wild colonies of seals and sea lions, I would not want my dog interacting with wild ones. The adults are massive and deceptively fast, even on land and I've seen them shake and throw rather large pups a few meters! All you need is an angry mama or bull to come and the dog could be seriously injured.
