It’s no secret that dogs are social butterflies, always ready to make new friends. But sometimes, their ways of building relationships can be hilariously unexpected. In a TikTok video that’s melting hearts, Jo-Hannah Jamieson’s dog, Murphy, shows us just how far a little charm—and a backyard fence—can go.
Every time Murphy, a happy-go-lucky Goldador (Golden Retriever and Labrador mix), is let outside, he makes a beeline for the back fence. The reason? A mysterious hand that reaches through to give him daily pats! This friendly ritual has become the highlight of Murphy’s outdoor time, and he’s certainly not one to pass up free affection.
In the video shared by @joh_jam, Murphy is seen eagerly waiting by the fence until his secret neighbor friend delivers the goods. The arm extends through the slats, offering pats and scratches, and Murphy, tail wagging and eyes gleaming, soaks up every second of it.
The video, set to the upbeat tune “Little Bitty Pretty One” by Thurston Harris, perfectly captures the pure joy of a dog being loved. Murphy’s excitement and the anonymous pat-giver’s consistency have viewers grinning from ear to ear.
It’s clear Murphy has mastered the art of making friends, even if he can’t see their face. For him, it’s not about knowing who’s on the other side—it’s about sharing a simple moment of happiness. And for Jo-Hannah, it’s a daily reminder of how little acts of kindness can brighten anyone’s day, furry or otherwise.
This adorable story of a dog, a fence, and some secret pats is proof that friendship has no boundaries—literally. Whether it’s through a fence or face-to-face, Murphy’s infectious joy shows us that the best connections are built on love and trust.
