14-Year-Old Golden Retriever Brings Surprises to Neighbors Every Day | The Dodo 

That is so cool that he goes to his friends house everyday and everybody watches out for him he just has his own little schedule of his own little playdates that he plans himself

He's like that old man who goes out to his favorite diner for coffee every morning

I love the fact that he is like the little old neighbour will pop in for coffee and checks on his neighbours every street needs a Oliver I love it he is such a sweetie.

15 years is a very long life for a Retriever. His sweet spirit brought so much joy to his family and the community. What a special little guy. 😇

“everyone has lost their schedule.. Oliver kept his schedule”

"He has a wonderful life." All animals should be so lucky.

"I'm here for my daily audience. You may now adore me." One of nature's ambassadors.

Oliver is checking on his humans - He has alittle time left to see everyone - Hope you all have plenty of photos - He united two families - I hope you all stay friends - What an angel

This is Oliver’s world, we’re all just living in it.

Neighbor: "what time is it?" Oliver: "time to open the gate."

My mother had a similar situation with the neighbors cat. He was over her house just about every day, and even stayed the night sometimes. He visited her for 15 years, until he got old and sick. Best cat I ever knew.

How great to be a neighbour so understanding and loving.Restores my faith in human nature.

“A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.”

His tail never stops wagging. He is living a very fulfilling life for a dog. Such great owners and community.

"See you for lunch" - just loved that. You'd say that to a human. A sign of just how much Oliver is loved. 💛🌻🤗

May your soul rest in peace Oliver. You are more humane than humans. Heaven is all yours to claim. Infinite ❤ from a stranger :)

They don’t get it! He’s old and he likes to check on everyone. Oliver is the mayor

When the mom yells "Kids! Oliver's here!The teenager's nonchalant response of "cool" was hilarious. It shows how much Oliver is actually there. 😆😆

i love the fact that one of their puppies doesn't have an eye and the other has a weird paw!! thank u for caring for animals with disadvantages!!!

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. ❤️

This dog goes straight to heaven. No stops, no changing planes in Atlanta, Straight.To.Heaven

I just saw this video for the first time and then checked him out on Instagram. This lovely little soul passed away about 30 weeks ago...what a loss for the family and the entire community. My love and condolences to the family and the neighborhood...peace, and love.

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! 😊

What a heartwarming story. The closing "see you for lunch" comment says it all... 👍

That’s nice to see that she watches him go back in his home. She really wants him to be safe on his way back ☺️

"Oliver's here kids!" "Cool.." Definitely an every day thing

Saw this video when it first came out and fell in love with Oliver. Just seen that he passed away. Thinking about all the people who knew him and hoping they’re all ok.

Oliver used to come and hang at our house too! How cool to see this video! He would just walk right in! We loved Ollie so much! He spent many parties with us just a few houses away! ❤

This dog has the life every dog deserves: all he knows is love, friendship, good food and playtime.

"'hey ol, wanna go have dinner by the lake tonight?" "sorry sue, i have happy hour with melissa and dinner with the new neighbors down the road. maybe tomorrow?"

What a great story ! Do people REALLY comprehend what an amazing gift our pets are???

I LOVE this! Oliver was living his best life with people who loved him. How sad that he died, but he passed away with so many people loving him.

He is literally like Forrest Gump. He is everywhere and everybody likes him.

He’s walking all gingerly like the old man he is.

Just read that Oliver has passed. No doubt he touched many lives, mine included and I never had the honor of meeting him. My heart goes out to everyone that had their lives touched by Oliver. Undoubtedly he will be missed. I truly believe the heaven has a special place and that place is somehow a little brighter.

We had a similar experience with Scooby, a golden/lab mix. We would send notes to his family on his collar. Eventually we adopted him from our neighbors when he was 9, and we were happy to call him our dog for eleven wonderful years! I'm honored he chose us.

What a Great story, who wouldn't like to have an Oliver in their life...

I got new neighbors and when we finally met them they said they had already met my dog as she went onto their deck and joined them for dinner their first night there! What a welcome!!

Oliver is walking with the angels. What a true blessing he was on our earth.

I can't believe how miraclous it is that nothing bad happened to him for that long period of time. I can't believe it. I wish my dog could live in such neighborhood and just enjoy life. It's great.

Can you imagine a fluffy, old grandpa dog coming over to you while you’re having a picnic and just laying down beside you? I would honestly cry tears of joy. I love Oliver.

Sadly Oliver became Heaven's newest Dog Saint he passed away recently in his sleep of old age . But Oliver's legacy of being a good neighbor lives on Instagram ( mostly on the Pudge the Pit Instagram page) several Dodo RU-vid videos and elsewhere . He was a gentle soul of doggo till the end.

I watch this at least once every two weeks. I'm sorry to hear of his passing but he is still bringing joy to my heart.

Oh no I just saw this and fell in love with him and then read the comments. 💔💔💔 what a beautiful pup that brought so much to so many people

"We are sad to share that Oliver passed yesterday of natural causes. He was an incredible part of our family for 15 1/2 years. He brought so much joy and happiness to everyone. He will be very missed. Long may you roam in heaven, Oliver. " - oliver_the_white_dawg posted 31/8/2021

Who else wishes they lived in this neighborhood so they could be on Oliver's route?

What a great dog. He brought neighbors together in a way that probably would never happen without him being the glue. This is what owning dogs is all about! He lived an amazing life full of humans who loved him. RIP pup.

About the only neighbor that can come over unannounced at any time and is happily accepted 😘🙏 Such an amazing blessing to have neighbors like this...

With a face and personality like that he can do whatever he wants. What an angel Oliver is❤👍

Everyone needs a social butterfly like Oliver in their life.

We had a golden retriever who was like Oliver. He used to visit the summer cottages in the summer. They all loved him. He has since passed and is missed very much.

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

Neighbor : “Oliver’s here kids” Kids : “Cool”

The most heartbreaking thing is that he’s already so old, I hope the best for Good ‘ol Oliver 🥰

What a wonderful dog! I’m sorry he passed away. RIP, Oliver!

I do believe that Oliver was on earth with an assignment as an angel . That dog seemed like one of a kind.

I was on a crew that was painting a residence. Every morning, the neighbor’s golden would come by, go to every crew member to greet us and say howdy. Then, he would go on a circuit to all the other neighbor’s to say howdy. Too cool.

Melissa sounds like his mother when she says, “Bye, Ol! See you for lunch!” And I mean that in the best way possible. Their relationship is so sweet!

The sweetest old man! I love the free spirit Oliver has, it's so gentle. Rest in peace lovely doge

What a distinguished gentlemen, hope you're well wherever you are. 😭

Floof ball comes to say hi everyday? Man,I want one too.

This is proof that when you see an older dog at the shelter, their age doesn't matter. They're still fun and sweet... they just need someone to give them a chance and love them back. ❤

He loves Melissa’s house in part because he has his pack there too. Shout out to his real family to have shared this great old man.

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO and MEMORIES!! Even in Oliver's Passing he is still Spreading JOY to OTHERS!! I just put my 16 year old Furbaby to rest on August 18 2022, and just watching this Precious Furbaby Brought Great Joy to me this morning🙏🙏🙏🙏❤

This is one of the cutest, most adorable things I have ever seen. Oliver is like an old man that refuses to stop driving. When Oliver passes, he's going to have hundreds of people in tears.

When she said "Oliver,is here kids", and they went "cool".. That just proves that the story is real, their prob so used to him coming.

Miss you Oliver!💕🐾💕

Rest in Peace, Oliver----you were a good boy. You are a good doggy on the Other Side of the Rainbow Bridge. HUGS.

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.

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.

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.

Oliver was an angel sent to teach people what love is. Oliver is now another creature somewhere teaching others what love is.

I love the neighbor's response when he heads back home, "Bye Oliver see you at lunch!", so adorable!

It’s so freaking cool and adorable how he goes back home every single time like he knows he has his own home but just loves hanging out with his neighbors

He lives his life at one speed!!??? Never seen anything like this 🐕 dog... Cool,calm,and really collective??? The Great Oliver....The King over all environments he walks into?? 🐕👍✌️🙏😇🇨🇦

He's my dream neighbor! I'm so sorry to hear that this beautiful soul has passed. 😔He was a very special and beautiful boy. ❤️

I love that the doggo has friends that he visits like it’s normal.

This is another all time favorite!

God, I watched this video a hundred times, and I never get used to seeing this. This is my relaxation therapy. RIP OLIVER ❤️ Thanks for bringing joy into alot of people's hearts.

Life should always be just like this. Happy neighborhoods. Good people and their animals. Heaven should be like this.

I really wish our pets could live a lot longer than they do.

Dogs are pack animals. Oliver collected himself a nice pack & checked on them every day.

Dogs deserve to live longer

My golden retriever actually used to do this exact same thing before she passed away. She'd walk around the neighborhood and come into people's homes, she was smart enough to always be able to avoid the cars and stick to the sidewalk (it was an out of the way subdivision too thankfully with a low speed limit). We'd put her outside, and then we'd get a call from a neighbor saying "Happy came over to visit." She died peacefully.

Oliver is a beautiful grandpa. So well imprinted in everyone's life. He makes the best neighbor. Very sweet and very calm. Oliver loves sharing his happiness. 💗💗🐾🐾

Why does Oliver do this? Because he can, thats why.

Rest in peace Oliver, I've a feeling there are many humans & pets that miss you. What an impression you made! 🐾😇

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.

He’s like “I’m here guys”.

It was so sweet that you all made Oliver's golden years golden. RIP Oliver.

Thanks to everyone who let Ollie in their homes and hearts. Rest in peace Ollie ! I wish you a good and safe journey in the afterlife! Take care of your family from above brave friend ♥️ love from Belgium Ollie 🇧🇪🦮♥️🇺🇲

1:05 Oliver invites himself to the Birthday Party, and says "I'm the gift that keeps on giving". Cracks me up!

What a delight he is, uniting the neighbours with his visits. He’s wonderful. Who wouldn’t want a community Golden?! 🦮💕 He’s an angel in fur.

Not only a beautiful sweet dog but the perfect neighbors everyone wishes they had. RIP Oliver.

Rest in peace Oliver, you were a great dog - WW

We had a neighborhood dog like this called Lilly when I was a kid. We didn’t have a dog but we kind of did because she’d come over every so often. I cherish those memories of our time together

The food is better at Melissa and there are dogs to have fun with, once he's done, he goes back. What a smart dog. 🙂

Oh Oliver is so lucky to have the best parents ever! I've heard it said that dogs become alot like their masters. Oliver is such a loving inclusive neighbour. He loves everyone and everyone loves him. I wish I lived in your neighbourhood too! Mom and Dad, thank you for sharing Oliver with all of us in the Digital World! 💖💖

Oliver is so lucky that his owner and neighbors understand this special boy!Thank you so much!!!!

I love how all the dogs get so excited when he’s at the door 😭
