A woman arrived at her Airbnb and received an unexpectedly warm welcome from an unlikely neighbor—a charming golden retriever named Pad Thai.
The delightful encounter was captured and shared on TikTok by the user @enchuladaz, who was greeted by Pad Thai upon pulling up to her vacation rental. In the video, Pad Thai, wearing a cute vest, approaches the car with uncontainable excitement, standing on his hind legs and resting his paws on the open window.

The woman, hesitant but touched by the canine’s energy, opted to interact through the car window. She later discovered the dog’s name and expressed her joy at the welcome she received. “I was gonna get out, but I could see his owner coming for him, and I’m a shy person, so I just rolled the window down and said hi to him while I recorded,” she shared with Newsweek.
The video, showcasing the pure joy of the golden retriever‘s greeting, has since garnered over 2 million views on TikTok. As viewers witnessed the adorable interaction between the woman and Pad Thai, it served as a reminder of the friendliness and affection that dogs often bring into our lives.
