Some reunions hit you right in the heart, and this one featuring Errol, a 13-and-a-half-year-old Basset Hound, is one of those. The video is aptly titled “Old friends.” In the TikTok video, we see Errol in his trailer and on his way to see his best friend, whom he hasn’t seen in a long time. And just like that, an everyday walk turns into something unforgettable. It’s an incredibly sweet moment that has touched the hearts of over 140K people. No matter whether you are human or canine, young or old, friendship truly makes the world go round.
Senior Basset Hound meets furry best friend after long time in viral TikTok video
The TikTok opens with text across the screen: “My senior basset saw one of his oldest best friends today.” As Errol rolls toward the sidewalk, the excitement is undeniable. His tail wags speed up with joy. Then, the camera swings around, and we spot the reason for it — his furry best friend of over a decade, now 10 years old, trotting down the path to greet him.
Then we witness absolutely heart-melting magic. The two senior dogs meet nose-to-nose, tails wagging in sync, like no time has passed at all. You can see it in the gentle sniff, the happy shuffle of their paws — a pure sweetness that shows how many years of companionship they’ve shared.
Their calm demeanor that comes with age, and friendly expressions are on full display in this video. Even with his mobility issues, Errol’s joy is obvious. His happy tail wags and soft barks show just how much he adores his best friend. The video is a real tear-jerker, ending with a sweet throwback photo of the two of them sitting side-by-side back in 2016.
The contrast between their young selves and their older, grayer faces is very moving. The comments on the post reflect the emotional impact of the video. One user wrote, “God nothing is sweeter than a old dog…always my favorite.” Another added, “Like old men in a coffee shop! Wise old doggos.” and yet another comment read, “Cool cool cool crying now.” As are we, friend, as are we.
