Just like all dogs and pets in general, having Coby at home has filled her days with more hugs, cuddles, smiles, and love.
But Coby the Golden Retriever also had an extra something for his owner. He made her even more popular, not only in the neighborhood, but on social media, as well!

You see, Coby is one of those dogs who just can’t be indifferent towards what’s going on around them, who is passing by, or who lives in the house next door.
Coby just needs to know everything about the neighbors and this is something that people in Alyssa’s neighborhood have gotten to love.
“He loves watching everyone that’s out there go by,” Alyssa told The Dodo.
Every day, Coby goes to the balcony, sits there and watches who is passing by. He never fails to bark at them as if he’s saying hi, and people always wave at him and greet him back.
But what made him viral on TikTok was his obsession with his neighbor whose window is just opposite Coby’s balcony.
One day, as Coby was out on the balcony playing and observing people going by, he spotted the naighbor, Sherwin Brown, who was having breakfast while chatting with friends on FaceTime.
“I was FaceTiming my friends, having breakfast,” Brown said, “and I saw this cute puppy face looking at me.”
When Alyssa realized what was going on, she grabbed her phone and captured the whole thing on video. She then posted it on TikTok and it went viral, amassing more than 240k views.
And, just like that, from one day to the next, both Coby and his favorite neighbor had become Internet famous.
When Sherwin’s friends called him the next day to tell him he was on a viral TikTok video, he was shocked. But he also loved the idea of getting to know Coby better.
So, he decided to put up a sign on his window for him saying hi.
Little by little, he also got to know Alyssa, and they decided to set up a line from his window to Alyssa and Coby’s balcony so that he could send toys and treats over for the good boy.
A while later, the three of them arranged to meet in person and it was the sweetest meet-up! Coby just ran to Sherwin as if he’d known him for years. The two of them couldn’t stop cuddling.
“I’d say Coby and I are best friends,” Sherwin admitted. “He’s the sweetest dog. I made a new friend. That’s the best part about it.”
People who watched the videos on TikTok and Facebook found this new friendship really cute, while others pointed out that it would be nice if the neighbor ended up becoming Coby’s dad.
“Can’t wait to see how this unfolds,” a user wrote.
