Who needs a playdate when your best friends live right next door? One adorable Golden Retriever and two Bernese Mountain Dogs have figured out the cutest way to keep their friendship alive, and not even a backyard fence can stop their daily reunions.
In a heartwarming Instagram video, the three fluffy neighbors gather at the corner of their adjoining yards for what their families call their daily “fwend check-in.” And judging by all the excitement, these pups look forward to their little meetings more than anything else.
The Golden Retriever is the first to show off some impressive moves, standing on his hind legs and stretching his front paws toward the top of the wooden fence. His tail is wagging furiously as he desperately tries to get close enough to greet his two enormous besties.
But the Bernese Mountain Dogs are just as excited!
One of the gentle giants stretches his neck over the fence to touch noses with his golden buddy, while the other eagerly props his paws against the boards, hoping to squeeze in for a greeting of his own.
It’s like watching three giant teddy bears trying to hug each other through a wall!
The Golden keeps stretching higher, his nose bouncing between his two friends as they exchange enthusiastic sniffs and sweet little greetings.
And the funniest part? These dogs act like they haven’t seen each other in years, even though they live just a few feet apart.
Apparently, being neighbors isn’t enough. They need to check in personally and make sure everyone is having a wonderful day.
Anyone who has spent time around Golden Retrievers or Bernese Mountain Dogs knows how affectionate these breeds can be. Both are famous for their friendly personalities, and these three certainly seem determined to live up to that reputation.
