Oh brilliant! How sweet 🥰

Huge moment. Huge. Well done to Soph and her family! 🥰

Congratulations to all!

Great news. A little contact each day will hopefully give all involved that bit of confidence needed

Well done, Sophie. Brave girl.

Good to see a cautious restraining adult hand. 🤗

Wow,this is huge!!! Well done Sophie I've got a lump in my throat 💓 x

👏🏼👏🏼

That’s amazing 👏👏

NEWS: Miss S Coyle Cellan-Jones, world famous aunt, said when interviewed “moi thinks ma nièce et mon neveu are super d’accord, moi aussi loves mon frère et ma belle-sœur. Moi thinks this is going to be such une très bonnes vacances.”

Magic moment. xx

Well done Sophie.

I think she's probably teaching them much more than they're teaching her. Moi aussi.

😘

Well done Sophie 👍👏🥰 lovely to see her getting used to your grandchildren Rory 👏🥰 small steps when she used to hide from them 🥰🤗 love following your journey with her 🥰🥰🥰

That’s absolutely brilliant! I’m your grandchildren are very happy. 😀

💕

Oh, well done, Sophie!

Good girl Sophie

Well done Sophie. Wow you have come so far. It says a lot for those lovely little munchkins too 👏❤️

Well done brave #sophiefromromania❤️. Well done patient and persevering team Sophie🙌!

Its also great that both want to stroke her

What a great moment! ❤️

Well done to everyone including Sophie!

What a super milestone. I'm sure it's great for the kiddos to learn how to approach an anxious dog too - kids who grow up with friendly/exuberant dogs don't always learn that kind of patient understanding.

Another huge step for Sophie from Romania what a good girl

What a truly magical moment.. Sophie you are amazing…

Lovely. At last, enjoying the attention..

👏👏👏

That's so lovely. Well done team Sophie

WOW!! Finally! Look at this after two years!!

That’s wonderful! Only 31/2 years? But it’s happened. Such patience and devotion.

She arrived December 22 so 2.5 years

I did wonder -apologies. But although a year shorter the commitment is still wonderful.

It’s utterly amazing - 2 years ago @sociabledog.bsky.social was doing amazing work in Ealing which then start progression to first walk in Feb 2024 - I am nearly crying We have all learnt so much re love and patience from Diane, Rory, Si and of course #sophiefromromania

Wonderful!

Wow, so happy to see this, brave little girl 💛

Amazing sight.

Good girl Sophie! and lovely grandchildren for petting her so gently. Well done Team Sophie (wink to Uncle Si @sociabledog.bsky.social)

#sophiefromromania just widened her family circle.

Oh wow, very well done everyone 🤩

Oh my goodness, I knew this moment would come, well done brave Sophie! 💕🇨🇦

This is amazing 🥰🤩🤗

My eyes seem to be leaking. The fact that she's lying down while letting them stroke is a massive achievement too as she's obviously relaxed enough around them now not to be standing in flight mode. Well done all of you. Big leap forward on this holiday. Beach next? Or is that a step too far yet 🤣

This is so lovely. Well done everyone!

Oh wow 🥰 brave girl

Good girl Sophie. They’ve won you over xx

I’m sure this has been a valuable lesson in patience and perseverance for all involved 💖 Sophie is becoming a love sponge❣️

My heart is melting ❤️ the children have so much love for her.

I have a funny feeling that Sophie will also have so much love to give them to.

🙌🤗

Punching the air! Give @sociabledog.bsky.social a medal, or at least a pint.

Thank you

Seeing the fruits of your patient, calm training is so wonderful - and shows why it’s always worth persevering!
