California Dog Stood Outside Her Neighbor’s Door, But Her Attempts To Get Attention Kept Going Unnoticed

Emmy the dog has so much love to give that she insists on visiting her two best friends every single day. When she struggled to get her California neighbor’s attention, her dad stepped in with a clever trick.

A Patient Daily Watch

For one incredibly friendly dog, the best part of the day doesn’t happen inside her own house.

Emmy is a dog with a big heart and a very specific daily schedule. Every single day, she waits by the door for a very important arrival.

“Emmy will wait and wait and wait for the mail lady to come,” her dad explained. No matter what time of day it is, or how late the route runs, Emmy is always ready for her favorite visitor.

A Special Delivery

The object of Emmy’s affection is Kristy, the local mail carrier.

This heartwarming routine started a few years ago. Kristy always takes the time to stop, talk to the sweet dog, and hand out some well-deserved treats.

The moment Kristy’s truck pulls up, Emmy can hardly contain herself. “Look how excited she is!” her dad shared. “Her whole body is wiggling.”

The Girl Next Door

As much as Emmy adores Kristy, the mail carrier is only one of her best friends.

Right next door lives Linda Rose, a neighbor who has known Emmy for the dog’s entire life. A few years ago, Emmy decided she wanted to see her neighbor a lot more often.

She started running over to Linda Rose’s house to pay her daily respects. It quickly became an essential part of the dog’s busy social calendar.

Missed Connections

At first, there was a slight communication barrier between the dog and her favorite neighbor.

Linda Rose relied on motion notifications on her phone to know when Emmy was waiting at the front door. But if she didn’t happen to have her phone nearby, she would miss the alert entirely.

Determined to get inside, Emmy would jump up and knock on the door with her paws. Her dad knew he had to find a better way to help his dog announce her arrival.

A Clever Solution

Emmy’s dad started brainstorming ways to ensure Linda Rose would always know when her furry friend was waiting outside.

He decided to purchase a special dog-friendly doorbell. To get Emmy used to the idea, he first installed it at his own house.

With a little patience, he began training Emmy to press the button herself. Because she is such a smart dog, she picked up the new trick quickly.

The Neighbor’s Request

It didn’t take long for Linda Rose to witness Emmy’s impressive new skill.

“As soon as Linda Rose saw what Emmy could do, her immediate reaction was, ‘I want one,'” her dad recalled.

The doorbell was promptly installed at the neighbor’s house. Now, every single day since it was set up, Emmy proudly rings the bell to let Linda Rose know it’s time for a visit.

A Second Home

The neighbor’s house has essentially become Emmy’s second home.

Linda Rose loves the dog so much that she regularly babysits and even lets her sleep over. If Emmy’s dad goes to a loud movie that would upset the dog’s ears, Linda Rose is always thrilled to take her in.

Some people online have asked Emmy’s dad if he ever gets jealous that his dog loves the neighbor so much. But as her lifelong dad, he knows their bond is secure, and he considers Linda Rose’s love to be a “huge blessing.”

A Village Of Love

The two women in Emmy’s life have even teamed up to make sure the dog is always happy.

When Linda Rose is babysitting, she makes sure Emmy still gets to see Kristy the mail lady. If no one is home, Kristy will even leave special treats tucked safely in the mailbox.

Emmy is so devoted to her daily routine that if her dad makes her wait to go visiting, she will sit and stare at him until he opens the door. Surrounded by a true village of love, her dad couldn’t ask for anything more. “I’m just happy that she’s happy,” he said.
