“They called to say, ‘While I love Luna and have no problem with her hanging out … she’s trying to follow people into the school.’”
Luna’s family adopted her in September 2019, and they’ve been her pack ever since. She is fiercely protective of her people and enjoys following them around – even when they leave the house.
“She enjoys going for walks with us,” Luna’s mother, Heather Lucier, told The Dodo. “She’ll lead the way and make sure we’re headed in the right direction on a regular basis!” It’s incredibly cute, and everyone in the neighborhood says it’s the cutest thing they’ve ever seen… Back in 2020, she used to follow us to pick up the kids’ free school lunches, following us across the block and to the other side of the school to, I’d like to think, make sure we were OK and returning home again because we’d been home with her for months.”
Luna enjoys walking her human siblings to school whenever possible now that they are back in school. They live right around the corner from the school, making it a very short walk, and everyone at the school now remembers Luna and enjoys seeing her. It was never an issue until Luna decided she wanted more.
Luna decided that instead of only walking her people to school, she wanted to go to class with them. She began attempting to sneak into the school, but because everyone knows who she is, her plan was swiftly derailed when the school called her mother.
“When I discovered it was the front office, I panicked out because I thought one of my kids was hurt or sick,” Lucier explained. “Thankfully, they called to say, ‘While I love Luna and don’t mind her hanging out… she’s trying to follow people into the school.'” I apologized several times before pulling on a jacket and sprinting over to rescue Luna before she got herself into any serious danger! I appreciate the fact that the individual who phoned me was laughing and said Luna was so sweet and not a problem… except for trying to sneak into school.”
Lucier dashed over to the school before Luna came — and as soon as she arrived, Luna pretended like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
“I was a little further away from the main doors she was attempting to get through when I yelled, ‘LUNA!’ and who came running?” “Lucier added, “Luna, meowing happily with her tail up in excitement as she pranced over the grass to me.”
Lucier was able to entice Luna home with the promise of food, and because she’d been apprehended, she knew she wouldn’t be able to make it to school that day anyhow. Luna’s human siblings were ecstatic when their mother told them about Luna’s excursion when they arrived home from school.
“My son laughed while saying he wished she’d come to his class because his class has a board of class pets, and it’d be cool to just bring Luna into the classroom because that was so much cooler than a picture,” Lucier said.
Luckily, there’s still hope — because there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Luna will try to sneak into the school again one day.
