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

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

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”

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

"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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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. 😆😆

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

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. ❤️

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

"'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?"

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.

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 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a>am, 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! 😊

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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! ❤

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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...

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.

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 ☺️

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

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

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

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="65">1:05</a> Oliver invites himself to the Birthday Party, and says "I'm the gift that keeps on giving". Cracks me up!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

"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

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

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

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.

Everyone needs a social butterfly like Oliver in their life.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Miss you Oliver!💕🐾💕

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

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

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🙏🙏🙏🙏❤

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

I knew a dog like Oliver. He would go to my parents house, then next door sometimes. He was the neighborhood's dog. Everyone shared Vet bills and food, lol. He was a "Rolling Stone". 😂😂😂

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.

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

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. ❤️

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

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

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?? 🐕👍✌️🙏😇🇨🇦

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

I once had a neighbor's cat like Oliver. Used to come visit whenever he wanted, sometimes decided to stay overnight, and I'd call his mom so she wouldn't worry. He used to yell-meow loudly at our front door when he wanted to come in. And if he wasn't ready to leave yet after a visit, he wouldn't budge. You could keep the front door open all you want, but he'd just yawn, curl up in a comfy chair and say, "Nope, not leaving." He also brought us a Christmas present of a dead mouse. Dropped it on our door mat on Christmas morning. Miss you, Lambie!

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

Dogs deserve to live longer

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

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. 🙂

Nevermind the ritual, it's impressive he's lived to 14. For large breeds, that's easily over 100.

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

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

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

People : Oliver goes out there and tries to touch people's souls Oliver : Where is the food guys?

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.

RIP Oliver He touched so many lives

1: Golden Retrievers are the absolute best. 2: The fact that Oliver is essentially a community dog is absolutely heartwarming. Just doing his rounds around the neighborhood, paying everyone a visit and making them smile before heading home for the evening is really awesome.

He’s like “I’m here guys”.

Everybody loved Ollie, and there was no reason not to. He was such a good boy & gentleman

Any update on Oliver ? He, like all dogs, is an angel ; a guardian angel. They give us that feeling of having a good friend who loves us . I give thanks for dogs, always. Oliver is a prime sample of what dogs are all about . Love ya, Oliver !

Oliver's life seems like it would be a great idea for a series of children's books.

This dog has literally unlocked the secret to living a happy life...he is true to himself and he knows exactly what he wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it. He’s an inspiration 🥰

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

I had a German Shepherd named Bobo. I lived in an apartment at one time with Bobo and I met a neighbor that I did not know. However, the neighbor knew Bobo. He told me that Bobo came over every Wednesday night and they watched mash together and had popcorn. This video brought back such wonderful memories. Thank you. Bobo is in heaven now with all the other dogs.
