There are neighborly hellos, and then there’s Emmy’s daily ritual. Every single afternoon, this sweet pup insists on making a trip to see her best friend, Linda Rose, who lives just a house away. And because it happens so often, Rose put in a special doorbell for Emmy that she has been trained to use herself. Boots on her front paws, tail wagging with anticipation, Emmy, the Labrador, doesn’t just “visit the neighbor.” She makes an entrance that’s become the highlight of her day, and judging by this Instagram video, it might be the highlight of Rose’s, too.
Labrador rings her personalized doorbell while visiting neighbor’s house in video
This video of a Labrador, which has nearly 12K likes, begins with Emmy’s owner narrating the scene. He tells us that his dog is obsessed with the neighbor, Linda Rose. “Every single day in the afternoon, Emmy has to see her,” he explains. We watch as Emmy heads outside, clearly excited for her daily outing. Once out, she waits for the human’s cue: “Go see Linda Rose.” When she gets it, she runs across the lawn, past the hedge, and straight to her neighbor’s front door.
As soon as she gets there, she rings her low-set doorbell once. Then twice more when she can’t take it any longer. From behind the door, there’s the telltale shuffle of footsteps. Emmy’s tail goes into overdrive, wagging faster with every passing second. There’s even a little excited squeal, the kind only dogs can pull off when they know joy is just seconds away. Finally, Rose appears behind the door, and Emmy practically bursts with happiness as she heads inside for her visit.
The comments section of the video is full of love for this duo, with one fan gushing, “The low doorbell. I have an Emmy and a Linda Rose in my life too — it’s the sweetest thing!” Another wrote, “I love how Emmy waits until you say Linda Rose.”
It’s a simple story, but also a reminder of what makes dogs so special: they pick their people, and they love them without hesitation, every single day.
