A man who made the move from Arizona to New York couldn’t believe who turned out to be his next-door neighbor.

Moving across the country can be stressful, especially when bringing pets along with you. Pets might feel overwhelmed and scared in their new environment. They have to adjust to their new surroundings. But when Kris, who is known on TikTok as @thatonedudekane, arrived in New York with his dog, all his worries faded away. He discovered his neighbor has the same exact dog as he does.

Kris told Newsweek via TikTok that he couldn’t believe how similar his neighbor’s dog looked to his.

“You don’t really see those type of dogs that often,” he said. “They are mixed with German [shepherd] and Rottweiler, so they are unique. It was crazy. My dog was an accident baby.”

In his April 19 TikTok video, he walked over to the neighbor’s fence to say hello to the other dog and show his followers the similarities between the two canines. His dog was already at the fence, greeting his new friend.

The two dogs sniffed each other through the fence with their tails wagging. It’s as if they were long-lost siblings. His dog then looked up at him with an expression that screamed: “Can you believe this?”

Kris explained that the neighbor’s dog is friendly, however, the relationship between the two dogs has not progressed past the fence. He wants to set up playdates for the dogs, but unfortunately, he said his neighbor will not let the dogs play.

He’s unsure of the reason why his new neighbor won’t let the dogs play, but he’s hopeful they’ll have a change of heart. Until then, he explained in the caption that they are “friends for life but through the fence.”

Viewer Reactions

The TikTok video amassed over 159,100 views, 25,000 likes and 278 comments as of Monday. Immediately noticing the similarities, many demanded “doggy DNA tests rn,” but Kris confirmed they are not from the same litter.

“The nose touch?? Oh, they’re besties fr,” commented a viewer.

Another added: “He said: ‘Twin where have you been??'”

A third person wrote: “Universal way of letting you know you moved to the right spot.”
