My mom had a neighbor dog like this. They moved in and the first night my mom got up to go to the bathroom at 3am and there was a big golden lab lying on the foot of the bed. Miss Maya would come over daily. My mom’s partner was on oxygen lines so the back door wasn’t fully shut. Sometimes mom would come home and Maya was on the sofa waiting for her. When my mom was done with a visits she would give Maya a treat and she would head home next door. My mom was older so it was like grandma time - all the joy and mom of the work. She died right before my mom did. ❤️

Growing up, we had a neighbor who owned a small Border collie who was the smartest dog we had ever met! Tasha was trained & well behaved, and would come over to our house every weekday while her owner was at work. She would arrive at 8:30am, and always seemed to know when it was 5pm! She was such an intelligent animal! She first started coming over to see our dogs and kids when they were younger, and continued doing so for about 15 years. She was such a fixture in our house, that most people thought she was our dog! In fact, Tasha once got accidentally locked in my parents house when they took me out to the west coast for a college tour (fortunately my grandmother had a key to the house to let the dog out!) Tasha died at age 17, and is still fondly remembered by my siblings after almost 45 years. I’ve always loved Border Collie’s because of that dog! 😊

My parents had a dog like that. She would go out of the house, go all the way around the block to another house which was actually on the same street as them. She never took the direct route to the end of the block though. Then she'd come back home. Sometimes the people in the other house would call my mom and ask if Shannon could come over, so my mom would let her out and off she'd go to spend time with her 'other' family. Only thing bad about it was the other family got the benefits of a nice dog, but none of the expenses.

The hardest part about having a dog is saying goodbye

[@lynpatricia6854]

I don't think he's wandering at all, he's a acting a lot like a livestock guardian dog would. This neighborhood is his territory and his watch and the people and dogs within it are his charges. He has to check in and spend time with all of them according to his schedule.

I had a German Shepherd named Bobo. I lived in an apartment at one time with Bobo and I met a neighbor that I did not know. However, the neighbor knew Bobo. He told me that Bobo came over every Wednesday night and they watched mash together and had popcorn. This video brought back such wonderful memories. Thank you. Bobo is in heaven now with all the other dogs.

OLIVER'S HERE, KIDS! kids: cool

Oliver is so responsible like damn most dogs I’ve met will literally run away if they ever got off their leash meanwhile he really just walks around like he basically just lives their too.

[@vladimiravrcic]

I don't know what kind of dogs you know then... Most dogs won't run away when you take the leash off.

[@kokoess_]

@@vladimiravrcic not like run away and get lost I mean they just run off in excitement and they come back after a few minutes with maybe a stick or something .

I laughed through the entire video. Oliver just saunters around, like he’s a distinguished old man. He’s such a gentle soul. I’m glad he gets the reception he gets from the people he visits. I guess his visits are like clockwork. If I lived wherever Oliver lives, he’d be a very welcomed guest in my house.

[@MelodyFaithClark]

I feel that way too 💯

[@jenniferquackenbush7458]

We had a neighborhood turkey that would go house to house visiting everyone. His name was “One-Eyed Charlie”. He was a rescue that had been hit by a car. Our neighbor has a farm with many animals and he was originally meant to be someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. After he was hit by a car and survived, only losing an eye, they didn’t have the heart to do that so my neighbor took him in as a pet. He would come to all our picnics and visit the kids playing outside.

This is the sweetest video. Oliver had a rich and purposeful life. All animals should be so very loved.

[@rockybass9764]

Goldens are the best. Had my first from 4 y/o to 19. I’m in 60’s now and we have a Golden big surprise. This one has never had a negative experience and is so innocent it’s crazy. He just wants to be everyone’s buddy. And on the 7th day God just couldn’t stand not creating something, so he gave us Golden Retrievers to show us humans how to act.

[@ellenaparicio5158]

We had a black lab, that would “wonder “. He would be gone for hours. When he passed, the construction guys, from the next neighborhood, found out and were really sad. They used to give him treats and a lot of love.

[@saltycat662]

Back in the early 80s, dogs roamed the streets and weren't spayed or neutered. My male chihuahua would roam and one day he came back home all sliced up. Someone had done something horrible to him. He required surgery and thankfully he was ok.

[@glamdolly30]

@@saltycat662 OMG, terrible story! I wouldn't let a dog wander far, the families in this video know where Oliver is at all times. Glad your fur baby recovered from his ordeal, what sickos to deliberately harm a dog. Yes, in the seventies and eighties people didn't take responsibility for neutering their animals. They didn't pick up their poo either, as a kid I was forever coming home with dog muck on my shoes!

[@bryant475]

@@jeedjervan5252 Yeah, totally understandable. I wish dogs lived longer! However, there are so many dogs that need homes so I will likely adopt in the future. Also, it's better than not having those experiences at all! My doggo Toby was with my parents and I for 14 years, basically half my life (2003-2017), and the experience of having him was incredible. He lived a great life and was a bundle of joy. When we put him down due to cancer, it was the first time I saw my dad cry. I wouldn't change any of it though! God gave us that experience and it taught us many amazing lessons. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Alfred Lord Tennyson. God bless you!
