Texas – This loyal pup is proving that dogs are a boy's best friend!

For months, Charles Ramil's dog has been sitting in the same spot in the yard. The Texan wondered for a long time what could be behind it.

In a TikTok video, he explained the reason: while still a puppy, his beloved four-legged friend had been in contact with a little boy next door. The two used to communicate through a gap in the fence.

At some point, the neighbors decided to close the gap. The clip, which has been viewed more than 14 million times within five days, begins with flashback footage.

In a few short scenes, Ramil's dog and the little boy are seen standing by the fence, followed by shots of the sad four-legged friend standing in the same spot alone because the fence has been sealed.

In the video, the owner writes that his dog has been waiting for his friend next door for months.

TikTok users were deeply touched by the clip, which has received over 3.1 million likes.

Hopefully the little boy and the dog will be able to meet again soon. Maybe Charles Ramil will take some users' advice to ring the neighbors' doorbell and introduce himself.
