Four Roommates Asked Their Neighbor If They Could Meet Her Dog. They Got A Letter Back From The Dog

December 18, 2019

Jack McCrossan and his three roommates were a little bummed when they found out their new landlord wouldn't allow them to have pets.

So, when they spotted a dog watching them from a neighbor's window, they decided to write a letter to the neighbor asking if they could walk their dog.

"Been saying we'd love a dog about the house but our landlord doesn't allow pets, so my housemate posted a letter to our neighbours asking if we could walk their dog every once and a while and the response was better than we could have ever hoped for," Jack McCrossan said.

The letter reads:

"The other day we noticed a four-legged friend looking at us out the window when we arrived home from work. He or She looked like the good-est boy/girl there is. If you ever need someone to walk him/her, we will gladly do so. If you ever get bored (we know you never will, but we can dream) we are more than happy to look after him/her. If you want to come over and bring him/her to brighten up our day, you are more than welcome. If you want to walk past our balcony windows so we can see him/her, please do.

We hope this doesn't come off too strong, but our landlord won't allow pets, and we've all grown up with animals. The adult life is a struggle without one."

They soon received a letter back addressed to "the boys" and stamped with a paw on the back.

"What a treat it was to receive your letter," began the letter written on behalf of the dog, Stevie Ticks.

The letter continued:

"On the subject of treats, I like them a LOT. Big ones and meaty ones and cheesy ones... oh sorry.. where was I?!

I am two years and 4 months old, and I am a Sheprador (Lab x GSD). I come from Cyprus originally but Chris and Sarah rescued me from a cage in the 'doggy hotel'.

You're right that I am the bestest-girl - how did you know?? I am very friendly and full of beans. I love meeting new people and it would be great if we could be friends. I must warn you that the price of my friendship is 5x ball throws a day and belly scritches whenever I demand them.

We here understand how hard it is to find pet friendly rentals - and life just isn't full without a dog is it - right?? I'd love to hang out whenever you fancy. Give my servant Chris a Whatsapp (---) and we can arrange a meet up!

Looking forward to mlemming you!

Stevie Ticks"

On December 15, the boys finally got to meet Stevie Ticks.

Update: The boys from 23 just met Stevie, looks like the start of a beautiful friendship (Give Stevie a follow on Instagram: stevieticks) #stevieticks pic.twitter.com/HkhDzzQcSG

Stevie's owners are now planning on inviting the boys over for dinner and beers so they can all hang with Stevie on her turf.

"In a day and age where people don't really know or speak to their neighbors it was really nice for them to break down that barrier," Sarah told Buzzfeed News.
