Loving a dog is an honor and a privilege, but you don’t even have to be a dog parent to love a dog. Extended family and friends are essential for everyone to have—even dogs—but if you’re fortunate, you just might become BFFs with your neighbor, too. What could be better than living next door to someone you love to hang out with?
According to Emmy the Labrador Retriever, not much. This friendly dog puts a smile on the face of everyone she meets, but her biggest fan is her next-door neighbor, Linda Rose. On June 29, Emmy’s dad gave her fans a sneak peek at Emmy and Linda Rose’s favorite routine, complete with an adorable ‘doggie doorbell’ that Linda Rose installed just for her four-legged friend!

This is the sweetest thing! Emmy and Linda Rose are #neighborgoals, and they’re both so excited to see one another. Linda Rose didn’t even wait to see if the Yellow Lab‘s dad was outside with her!
“Linda Rose has zero interest in Emmy’s human,” one commenter wrote. No kidding! She may not be a fan of being on camera, or she may simply not have known she was there. After all, this confident dog usually makes the journey next door all by herself.
Clearly, this next-door neighbor adores her Labrador Retriever bestie so much! She even installed a ‘doggie doorbell’ that’s the perfect height for Emmy, and if that’s not love, I don’t know what is!
Everything about this happy dog enchanted her TikTok fans, from her “impatient tippy taps” to her endlessly wagging tail. It’s easy to see why Linda Rose fell in love, though I’d love to know how the daily routine of their visits even began. I suppose that’s a ‘tail’ for another video!
Befriending Dog Neighbors
Linda Rose isn’t the first person to befriend a four-legged neighbor. In fact, plenty of commenters can relate to knowing their canine neighbors even better than they know their human ones! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t one of these people…
Luckily, it’s easy to make friends with social dog neighbors—as long as their parents say yes, of course! Once you show a dog affection and love, they’re bound to remember that the next time you walk by. You never know when “Can I say hi to your dog?” could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
