Golden retriever's TikTok sensation. The reason why he waits hours at the gate may surprise you

Dogs are loyal, faithful, and loving. They base none of their affection on appearance, behavior, or wealth. No matter the circumstances, they remain by our side. To them, we matter the most. That's why they are often called man's best friend.

The dog in the discussion, a golden retriever, has certainly won the hearts of TikTok users, all due to his unusual behavior. He patiently watches out for people for hours, just on the off chance that someone will pay attention to him. His tenacity, determination, and patience are truly outstanding.

TikTok has become the most popular app worldwide. It hosts thousands of videos published daily, covering a myriad of topics. Predictably, the most popular ones center around animals. These light-hearted clips of funny cats or adorable dogs truly lift the spirits.

Ja’Nasha, who posts on TikTok under the handle @platinumdeal, is a neighbor to a charming golden retriever who wiles away the hours waiting at the gate. At first glance, one might assume that he's anticipating his owner's arrival. However, the dog actually has loving caregivers who devote generous amounts of time to him.

In these videos, you may notice the dog always has something in its mouth - it's a toy ball. Remarkably, the quadruped waits for several hours until an unsuspecting passerby takes it and gives it a throw. Ja’Nasha tells us that the dog happily gives up the toy with no resistance, and after the ball is thrown, he promptly returns to the gate, hopeful for more fun.

The TikTok user admitted that the dog could play in this manner for hours on end; he never seems to get enough. Interestingly, he's willing to give the ball to anyone who comes near to him. This friendly animal shows no signs of aggression whatsoever. The video has been viewed more than 200,000 times, captivating netizens worldwide. Comments range from amusing quips like "Hello, I am not coming to work today," to enthusiastic declarations such as "Where does this dog live? I want to come and play with him."
