By Alyce CollinsShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberA dog owner captured the adorable moment her senior golden retriever saw his new home and backyard for the very first time—but she couldn’t have predicted what he’d do next.
Rachel Carlisle, 28, shared a video on TikTok (@rachelmadisoncarlisle) showing the moment she drove up to her new home, with her senior dog in the backseat. Remi was evidently so excited about his new abode, he couldn’t help but stick his head out of the window and smile as they drove down the street.
Carlisle documented the precious core memory and shared it on TikTok on November 19. After taping her phone to the wing mirror to record, Carlisle wrote in the TikTok caption that it was “worth the risk to see the look on Remi’s face.”
The video has delighted many across the internet, going viral with over 2.2 million views and more than 405,800 likes on TikTok at the time of writing.
...Newsweek has contacted Carlisle via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video.
Social media users can’t get enough of 10-year-old Remi’s joy, as many were desperate to see more of his reactions. Carlisle also documented the moment they walked through the house for the first time and wandered towards the back yard—only for Remi to catch her by surprise.
Rather than explore the yard and take in all the new smells, he “had his own plans.” Indeed, what was supposed to be a wholesome moment became far more graphic when the dog took a bathroom break instead.
Carlisle couldn’t resist sharing that comical footage online too, and the TikTok clip has gained over 126,400 views in just a matter of days.
Remi certainly seems to love his new home and the freedom of having a back yard all to himself. It was a very proud day for Carlisle who, not only became a homeowner for the first time, but she also wrote on TikTok that it had “been a dream for so long” to give Remi a yard.
Hundreds of TikTok users have taken to the comments to praise Carlisle for giving Remi everything he deserves, and for capturing such a special moment. This has led to more than 490 comments on the viral TikTok post already.
One comment reads: “The absolute joy on Remi’s face!”
Another TikTok user wrote: “It’s so beautiful seeing a doggie enjoy life just like they deserve to.”
Another person replied: “Wishing him many years of running and playing in the yard.”
While one commenter said: “This has me in tears. I hope Remi enjoys his yard!”
