A golden retriever has skyrocketed serotonin levels online as he gets excited every time he sees the caretaker.

In a series of videos, Gordy, who lives in Tampa, Fla., is walking down the hall when he hears the man’s keys jingle. He then runs down to be greeted by his “favorite person”.

His owner added text to the story, and she points out that Gordy can’t contain his excitement as he leaps onto the man until he patiently sits down for a treat.

The video seen here was shared by TikTok user @goldengordy and has been viewed by over 428,000 people. More than 56,000 people have liked the video about the golden retriever’s unlikely friendship with the man.

The American Kennel Club describes Golden Retrievers as “sociable, trustworthy, and supportive family pets that are relatively easy to train.” They approach life joyfully and playfully and maintain this puppy behavior into adulthood.”

The Trusted Registry of Purebred Dog Breeds in the United States also states that Golden Retrievers are good with young children and families and are extremely outgoing with strangers. So it’s no surprise that Gordy gave the man a warm welcome in the video.

Gordy’s reaction has put smiles on thousands of faces and sparked conversations on TikTok, but research shows pets are a great way to meet people.

Researchers from the University of Western Australia, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and the WALTHAM Center for Pet Nutrition surveyed nearly 2,700 men and women in four cities: Perth, Australia; San Diego, California; Portland, Oregon; and Nashville, Tennessee.

Owning a pet was the third most common way they met people in their neighborhood, according to survey participants. The survey found that pet owners are 60 percent more likely than non-pet owners to meet people in their neighborhood they didn’t know before.
