Dogs have the sweetest way of expressing love and loyalty for their human friends. Those gestures of love become a habit that dogs will carry until old age. One common expression of their love is waiting for their humans in one spot until they return home. Dogs know when their humans will arrive, and they’ll wag their tails as soon as they see them.

Lots of the comments also pointed out Maisy’s influence on the old man’s life. “This probably gets your neighbor out of the house every day. Dogs bring us so much joy and meaning!

People were also amazed that Maisy’s senior friend seemed strong at the age of 90. “Love all of this and the ol’ Golden, but holy crap…90 years old?? He’s walking fine and just drops the walker to bend over and pet the dog. I hope I’m that spry if I get that old,” Stewy_434 commented. That may be how it works when you are greeted by the same adorable goldie every day. Her energy is so contagious that the old man can’t help but feel happy whenever Maisy is around.
