They sometimes say that curiosity killed the cat. According to a whale shark, sometimes curiosity can also get you a kiss.

This became evident when Jade Pursell was off the coast of Australia with a friend to do some diving.

A whale shark swam up to the boat for a closer look.

Although the whale shark did not come near them in the water, it did swim over to the 12-foot boat and got the curiosity of an animal onboard. It was their eight-year-old Labrador retriever.

For a moment, the Labrador retriever exchanged an interesting moment with the large fish. They touched noses and it was almost as if they were saying hello and getting to know each other.
