These Guys Wrote A Letter To Their Neighbors Asking To Walk Their Dog And The Dog Gave A Heartwarming Response

Growing up with pets is a real gift. They offer a kind of friendship that you just don't get with other humans. They're loyal, fun, and always know when you need a little extra love.

Four boys recently moved into a new flat and all had hopes of getting a dog that was dashed by their landlord's no pet policy. They had all grown up having one as a family pet and missed that special companionship.

They decided they wanted to be friends with this adorable dog and so they decided to write a letter offering their services as dog sitters, or dog walkers, or whatever else the pup might need.

They didn't want the note to seem too creepy so they were honest and explained that they simply missed having a pet and if they could try and fill that void by loving the dog across the street they'd be grateful.

The boys, who call themselves They Boys from Number 23, got a prompt response and as Jack McCrossan put it on Twitter, they could not have been happier or more surprised with the response.

The best part of the note was the paw print on the back that the envelope was sealed with. It was clear that the boys had received a letter from exactly who they wanted to talk to.

Her name is Stevie Ticks and she expressed nothing but excitement at the prospect of having new friends. Stevie's parents were touched that their neighbors reached out, especially in a time when people don't put that kind of effort in anymore.

And it was just as wonderful as they had hoped. It's certainly the start of a life-long friendship. I don't know about you, but this is the type of content I like to see.
