Dog Runs Away from Home, Sneaks into a Metallica Concert, finds a Seat and Enjoys the Show

Typically, when a dog sneaks out of a home, it usually makes its way to a park or perhaps a neighbor's yard. However, for one dog in California, it had much bigger sights: a Metallica concert.

And yes, this really happened. A German Shepherd snuck out of its home near SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and actually made its way into a packed Metallica concert, where it found a seat and enjoyed the show.

How cute is that?!
 

You might have heard we had a four-legged fan join us for #M72LA! Despite reports to the contrary, our friend Storm snuck out of her home adjacent to @SoFiStadium and made her way to the gig all by herself.

From 6 ABC: 

After a few days of online outrage over a dog owner purportedly leaving their pup at SoFi, Metallica updated the story, posting on Instagram and saying:

"Despite reports to the contrary, our friend Storm snuck out of her home adjacent to SoFi Stadium and made her way to the gig all by herself. After a full night taking in the show with her Metallica Family, Storm was safely reunited with her actual family the next day."

The "four-legged fan" "had a great time listening to her favorite songs, including 'Barx AEterna,' 'Master of Puppies' and 'The Mailman That Never Comes" -- tongue-in-cheek references to some of the band's most well-known songs.

"And in case you were wondering, no. You definitely shouldn't bring your furry friends to the M72 World Tour," the band added. "But this dog sure did have her day."
 

I personally would be a paranoid mess if my dog snuck out of the house in Los Angeles, of all places. But finding out they were at a Metallica concert would have been both a relief and certainly given a hearty chuckle.
