A dog owner couldn't understand why her pup was frenetically digging a hole by the neighbor's fence in the middle of the day. Then she realized why and shared it on social media, and now internet users can't cope with it.
In a viral TikTok video shared on Saturday under the username @mykclrssvnsn13, the small-sized poodle-mix dog can be seen digging a hole under the fence, before backing away to allow her neighbor's pup into her yard to play together.
"My dog and my neighbor's dog dug a hole under the hole and now they set their own play time," reads layover text in the clip. And a caption adds: "They're in a relationship I just know it." Newsweek reached out to @mykclrssvnsn13 for comment via TikTok comments. We could not verify the details of the case.

Our pups are more likely to bond with dogs that are more similar to them than others, who share the same type of personality, play styles, and energy levels. Being a similar age and breed also helps them bond faster.
Dogs are able to form friendships with many other animals besides us and canines; this includes cats and even horses among other species.
