Sometimes a random encounter on a sidewalk changes everything for two total strangers. In this video from @prinniethepoodle, a tiny pup with a big heart shows that best friends come in all sizes. Her bio tells us that Prinnie is a sassy toy Poodle living her best city-girl life, but her favorite activity is visiting her friend John.

When they first met, John had just moved into a nearby nursing home and had no one around. He told her owner that all he really wanted was some company. And we learn later, even as a tiny puppy, this dog ran straight to the man each time she saw him.

The video shows Prinnie pulling on her leash the second she spots John walking ahead. This breed is known for being very smart and attuned to how people feel, so she runs toward him until he turns around to see her. Three years have passed since their first meeting, yet her energy remains the same. One shot shows her on a sunny bench in his lap. She looks so peaceful and stays close while he looks around. She even rests her head on his arm.

John told the owner he needed a friend in his new home. Now, these visits happen all the time. He sits on his walker while the pup wriggles happily in his arms. In another clip, she even sits on his scooter. One viewer mentioned that Prinnie is actually his pet, and the owner is just a helper.

The two spend a lot of time in his nursing home room. She sits on his lap on his couch and looks genuinely happy. She clearly enjoys being in his personal space more than anywhere else. This story has over 370,000 likes because people love seeing real kindness.

A 93-year-old person commented that these are the best stories on the internet. It is nice to watch Prinnie lick John’s face until he laughs out loud. She brings a lot of joy to him every time they meet. One person even suggested that nursing homes should also be doggy daycares. Seeing John look so happy because of this pup is just absolutely heart-warming and wonderful.
