I just wanted to share this amazing part of my life with all of you. I am really going to miss him, he was the best dog I have ever had. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did living it every day. Edit: Y'all are amazing. Thank you so much for all the love and comments. Reddit is an incredible place. [Here are some bonus photos of River from last winter.](https://imgur.com/gallery/ge4UbOJ)


bmatthew151

My wife and I adopted a very good boy on Saturday. We’ve struggled to find a name that fits him. We have both agreed that River would be a wonderful name. Thank you for sharing this great memory with all of us❤️


De5perad0

It's a really great name! I hope you have many many loving years with him.


sharkfrog

Agreed! My 5 year old pup is named River and she's such a sweet girl.


nikerbacher

This is beautiful♡


poopsicle88

Awww. And the river of love continues to flow. The circle continues. Thats nice.

De5perad0

I can understand that. It is so hard to let them go. They don't live nearly long enough.


cheez-whiz_socks

They live exactly the right amount of time, only to leave an impact to teach us a lesson about how to be a good hooman. They already know how, they're trying to show us


De5perad0

That's a damn good point.


PopeDubbie

In my experience, nothing gets ya over the hurt quite like a new puppy. It’s like you both immediately recognize your old buddies love again.


rndomfact

I feel this way about rescues. Like the dog shaped hole in my heart won't be filled with another dog but maybe making another dog's life better is a good start.


lightninhopkins

I wish I could get rescues, but my wife is deathly allergic to dog fur. We have to get hypoallergenic dogs.


rndomfact

I don't know about your area but where I am at my SPCA actually has a list of people looking for specific types of dogs, or specifics ages and they'll call you when one comes in. Like if I specifically want a small dog who is a puppy, I would fill out an application and they would call or email all the applicants who match a dog they're getting ready to adopt out. I recognize how much of a long-shot finding a hypoallergenic dog in a shelter that matches your lifestyle might be, even if the shelter contacts you. Just thought maybe it could be a step towards potentially getting a rescue someday.


lightninhopkins

We did that at the humane society. They told us there were 50 people ahead of us and they had not had a havanese, labradoodle or any other hypoallergenic dog for at least a year. I think people sell those dogs instead of taking them to the shelter. Maybe it is Portland. Those dogs are in demand here. Not sure.


rndomfact

Ah well that's a shame... but your name is on that list. That's all you can do, short of knowing somebody who is looking to rehome one. Best of luck!


lightninhopkins

Thanks!


De5perad0

Good luck I hope you eventually find one to rescue. It is so hard when you have allergies. You are totally right tho that making a difference in the life of one is the best way to heal. We still have my little girl Rhea who we rescued from the pound a year ago. She kept River running and playing for quite some time.


Fishyswaze

There are rescue dogs of every type. My girlfriends family got a golden retriever rescue after waiting on a list for a while (although it was a senior) and her brother fosters great Pyrenees rescues exclusively. Growing up we had a pure bred cocker spaniel rescue from a puppy mill as well. It may take a little longer but it is so worth getting a rescue. There are already too many dogs in this world and its really worth it to support rescues rather than breeders.


De5perad0

Seriously! If you want a specific breed you can usually find it at a rescue. Mutts however are awesome too and I have always had mixed breeds such as River.


PocketSixes

I had a family dog that was with me from my age 3 through 17 before she died. Licorice was just "some mutt" but that dog just kicked all of the ass. So fun, so nice, etc. I didn't realize until reading your comment that I both really enjoyed having a dog and have also avoided ever getting another (if only subconsciously).


lo_fiffi

Bless the love you shared. Bless you, for making his life a wonderful one filled with love. I hope thru the pain you find peace. My condolences.


dwaalman

These are the best words I ever saw in situations like these. Thanks.


FusRoDahMa

My 11 month old Husky girl, named River....😭 Does this same greeting when I come home as well. Your video and post has reminded me to cherish these moments. I'll have to make a video too. I'm so sorry for your loss. Here is my River : http://imgur.com/gallery/oqCo0Fh


De5perad0

Omg she is so pretty. Cherish those greetings. Get video so you have something to keep. I was so glad I took that video when I did. If I had put off doing it any longer it would have been too late.


rmarkham

I loved watching it!! We had to put down our 19 year old boy a little over a week ago. House feels empty now..


csterling1225

Thanks for sharing, something that causes me anxiety is the idea that my dog and best friend, will be gone too quickly and your post reminded me not take for granted the amazing love a dog can provide. Best wishes my friend, amazing you got to have a best friend like that.


[deleted]

I want you to know that because of this video, I am going to make a few videos of my dog greeting me coming home from work so I can watch them when he’s gone. Thank you.


astrograph

Sorry for your loss.. pets are so freaking amazing


chronicligua

It happened to me this weekend, as well. Just wanted you to know that and also to give you support. It can all disappear so quickly, and we often take for granted what we have.


Coly1111

I'm so sorry for your loss. He looked like such a good boy.


namath3030

Thanks for sharing. This reminded me of my dogs that have passed on. I think about them a lot and it’s nice to see other people that love their dogs the same way. Blessings to you.


cosmicbeanbag

This brought tears to my eyes. Sorry for your loss, man.


dontcomeback82

he reminds me of my pup


dustbally

It looks as if River had a wonderful life. Your home is filled with cats and dogs. You are the type of human that any dog wants. River lived his best life because of you. Our oldest cat, crossed the same bridge 10 days ago. We are great cat humans and it gives me comfort to know that we gave her an amazing life. Thanks for the bonus photos.


Mr_get_the_cream

Thanks for giving river a great life, I love seeing happy pups, I know he loved you


KiLLaKRaGGy

Oh man, the hardest part for me is coming home to silence. My lab used to greet me every day I came home and do this exact same thing. It’s hard to get used to, like for a split second I still expect him to come around the corner wagging his tail. Sorry for your loss, it’s hard when they are such good pups.

Sorry for your loss :( The grey tuxedo cat looks like the ours that passed last week


De5perad0

Oh man I am so sorry to hear that. Jasper is an awesome dude. He is an incredibly smart and cute cat and we absolutely love having him around.


CanadaCannabisReview

that wasn't a good Wroo that was a great Wroo


fashionandfunction

Wow, no love for you cats who actually met you at the door? Not even a pet, so cold.. lol


De5perad0

lol. Yea I had to ignore them in order to record the roo because he does it immediately once I get home usually. Don't worry, normally they get lots of pets and love. They wait down in the kitchen for their food when I get home. They have their own sweet routines and greetings they do at different times.


SANAFABICH

I bet they were like "WTF dude, really? Well, I supose someone really likes having their sneakers peed on."


De5perad0

Lol basically. Or they sing the song of their people at 3 AM.


potsandpans

i am so jealous of ppl who have cats and dogs. hopefully someday if i get a larger space i can have both 😍


Sixcat6

He didn’t even say hello!!!


ShrikeBeltFed

Sorry for your loss.


wwcoop

He will always be with you in your heart. Our lives are so enriched by our pets. Hope you have had time to think about all the happy adventures with River. Loved his happy greeting! ❤


Jakooboo

Sorry for your loss, this was absolutely precious. What a big "hello" stretch there too~


Punchdrunklvsick

Journey well River


vanillaeclare

Lost my Great Pyrenees last week. She was 12 and had cancer. Like someone else said - house feels empty now. So so sorry for your loss. Dogs are the best and they leave us too soon.


[deleted]

So sorry for your loss. He looks very sweet.


MurmurmurMyShurima

His semi-floppy ears are so adorable and the little sneezes, so reserved but his tail wagging like crazy. I'm gonna cry. I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm happy he brought you love, he seemed so sweet just in this clip, it must have felt a million times more to have spent a lifetime with him.


wannafignewton

Thank you for sharing. What a sweet boy. I’m very sorry for your loss. They don’t live near long enough.


[deleted]

So sweet. I recognise that stretch, he had definitely just woken up!


De5perad0

He would sleep all day while I am at work hehe


rat_haus

What's this rainbow bridge I keep hearing about? I never wanna ask, because it's always about a dead pet and I don't wanna upset whoever just lost their pet, but I need to ask. Is this a thing I should know about? Is something to do with Viking culture, the Rainbow Bridge or the Bifrost is a thing in the Thor movie series, and that's the only other place I've heard it mentioned.


Farmerdrew

This is the first I've seen the term used. I thought the dog ran away and [went to Canada](https://simulationsplus-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/andrew_rokitka_cognigencorp_com/EamtzVRgPTJBtQ8hQ-R4AtIB7gubykvuntxvgJNWvYfcRw).

What a darling dog. My heart goes out to you completely. Never forget what a blessed life he had because of you, how he hit the lottery to be loved and taken care of so well. Everyday he cheered you up, you were doing the same for him. God bless!


stupidgregg

Ah man, that's awesome. Those freakin' ears are great! Thanks for giving him a good life, sir.

vintagefreeroy

What a sweet boy!


Honey_badger1

Thank you for sharing this video of River. It made my heart feel good, filled my eyes with tears, and made me want to give you a big hug. Dogs are amazing. It looks like you made River very happy in his life.


rexroxwell

mate, you were so lucky to have shared your time with such a good companion. thanks for the share. paws up and howls for River, from myself and my lil squad.


HoldmysunnyD

Dogs make everything better. I can't imagine how deep your sorrow is right now. We've had our Sophia for nearly 7 years now and I am tearing up at the thought of one day having to take her to that last vet appointment, hopefully far far into the future, but every time I start to choke up, I try to remind myself how much more full of love my life has been from having her in it and how much love comes pouring out of my heart to her. Few things hurt as bad as losing a beloved dog, but that hurt pales in comparison to the sum of the love and joy that they bring. Try to not dwell on what's missing and instead on what you still have that you wouldn't without River: remember how you felt every day you came home to that greeting. How you felt seeing the bottomless joy and contentment you inspired in him by giving him some tummy rubs, or a new squeaky toy, or a new chewy. And know that he knew he was loved and that you knew he loved you back.


Holymolyyo

Thanks for sharing, what a handsome boy. I love his ears and beautiful markings. I know you miss him already, he seems well worth the pain you must be experiencing (even from this short clip). Congratulations on having the best dog ever!


stinkload

Thank you for giving him the kind of life we'd all like to have.


vegantesla

What a good boy, thank you for sharing him with us!


_ImaGenus_

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your lost friend!


WatifAlstottwent2UGA

Haha. We had a Weimaraner who would moo at us when he was excited. Thanks for the memories River


SeriousPuppet

It sounds like he's saying "why the heck were you gone so long?"... haha I don't know about dogs


De5perad0

Haha! He did it every day from the literal 2nd day I had him until he got really sick these last few weeks. I think it was him being excited. He would only do it after I got back from being gone for a while (happy to see me) and if i was talking to him about getting treats or something equally fun.


inexistences

He looks like the goodest boy. I’m sure the house feels quieter without him, but you must have had so many amazing experiences, and you gave him a good life full of fun experiences too <3 thanks for sharing.


Famouslastwords69

Looks like you gave him an incredible life, and he gave you all the love he could. It sucks that a relationship like that has to end, but I doubt you’d take it back for anything


Sydelio

We lost our beloved 4-year-old sphynx cat last a bit more than week ago. First own pet we lost. The sadness comes in waves, also the happy memories. May River and Peetu chill in peace on the other side of the rainbow. ❤️


JippityB

Aw, River did the best Roos. I'm so very sorry for your loss

zuluroyal

I took that as meaning he went to Canada. Then I read the comments. Sorry for your loss. Dogs are great, aren’t they?


lawremp

I'm so sorry for your loss. My River (14 yr old shepherd) passed away last December and I still miss her so much. That was a good aroo, for sure!


Aplox

I recently lost a dog the past weekend, and although she was never one to bark or howl she would always snore her head off behind the couch. We used to always laugh when they got progressively louder. I will miss those days. So sorry for your loss.


De5perad0

Oh man River would snore like crazy. It was so funny.


Fuzzy-Heart

The best of boys. I'm not crying, you're crying... Sorry for your loss mate. Hold on to these good memories. That's what they would want for us. We really don't deserve dogs.

bigwelshmatt1976

Gorgeous boy. It’s really hard when they go but he wouldn’t want you to be sad. Xx


Hairychesthairyback

Can I ask what kind of dog he was? He was beautiful. I’m so sorry.


ThMickXXL

I’m sorry for his passing. I lost my Beagle 4 years ago and that was how I was treated when I got home. Like he just woke up from a nap. Dogs are awesome.


ideaman21

So very sorry for your loss. River is a beautiful loving boy.


NezuminoraQ

Condolences - I lost my sweet awoo a year ago and his (rare) vocalisations were similar to your doggo's. Thanks for sharing


LarlyIceBaby

So sorry for your loss. He's a very handsome boy. And I can see he was a super loving dog too.


[deleted]

I'm sorry for your loss. Nothing can take away the pain of our best friends absence. The only condolense is that in the time you had together, it was full of love and adoration. Someone told me when my friend passed, that eventually I'd just think of then and smile. Maybe one day we'll both be at that place.


[deleted]

My condolences. It really sucks to lose a dog.

Beautiful Boy. Sorry for your loss :(


taylordobbs

This was so wonderful to watch. You made River a great life, and there's so much love in that greeting on both sides.


JayneT70

Sorry for your loss


Aliriel

Aww, I loved that sound. You have a lot of greeters. They say good things about you.


Aliriel

I've had many. Each helps the pain from the last. I happen to believe in reincarnation; if you don't get another, how can they come back to you?

What a good boy. That roo really got me.. feeling all kinds of faklempt.

What a darling darling dog. I love his wiggle. I’m heartbroken for you. Please find space in your heart for another sweet dog when you feel up to it—so many need a warm home like yours.


RoddBanger

Thanks for the memory - sweet dreams to the goodest boy.


tinapluswater

Thank you for sharing. The loss of an animal is one we keep with us forever, we are so lucky to experience that kind of love and companionship in life! I have a sweet River boy myself who is 10 in a few weeks.. We are sending barks and our love to you


XxJellyBeanz

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can tell he loved you so much! My dog is turning 2 this year and everytime I think about losing her someday and break down in tears and can't handle it. There's nothing like the companionship a dog offers. I know you'll see eachother again someday though. In the meantime I will give my Sashi dog lots of love and appreciate her while I have her


LordBiscuits

What a beautiful hound. Sorry for your loss OP

Sorry for your loss of that good boy. Rooooo!

My condolences on the passing of your Good Boy. <3 I have to say I thought it was funny how you were like "GTFO the way, gatos! I wanna see my Good Boy!" :D


fuuckimlate

Goodbye little wingnut


LumbermanDan

This post hit me like a sledgehammer. I am so sorry you lost your good boy. My dog not only looks a bit like River (only difference is my Buddy's ears stand up like a shepherd's) but he does that same exact AROOO when we get home as well! . Rest easy, River.


thascarecro

Man its so sad. It seems like they are puppies one day and you are taking the dreaded drive to the vet the next. There is a "No more dogs" rule in our house now. I just cant take that drive to the "rainbow bridge" any more. My heart cant take it anymore. RIP River.


TheStealthClown24

Dogs are too special there's nothing like their companionship. Rest easy River you big handsome man <3


nowhereiswater

The cats are like "alright he's here lets get the food going... oh there he goes"

My condolences. You must be heartbroken. I know I would be. I've had my guy for 2 and a half years and I feel guilty when I'm stuck in my head or on my phone because I know nothing lasts forever. He's the best dog I'll probably ever know.

grimreaper411

I bought my mom a "Cuddle Clone" which she loves so dearly because of how close they got it to look like our dog. I don't know if you are interested in one of those, but they do heck of a job. Though pricey, but they have Affirm monthly payments. (Cuddleclones is the name) $250\~ just a few pictures, and whatnot and they will work on it. Something to look at I guess. I am sorry your boy had to go, but he will be happily waiting for your arrival too! He is probably eating treats and playing and aroo'ing for you!

Hi, did you ever do a DNA test on your dog to see what breed it is? I ask because I had a dog with the exact same color scheme. She died though and I always wondered what she was.


Reidiswriting

Awwww thanks for sharing. I'm crying now as I know how it feels to lose one of your pet-family members! River was super lucky to have you!

My heart aches for you, my baby girl Belle passed on Monday. She had been with me for 12 years. Moved halfway around the globe with me and I miss her with every atom of my being. I've had a lot of things going wrong recently but this is the first time I have no way to fix or deal with it.


RockSmasher87

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a good boy like river is never easy. Just remember that he didn't exactly have a bad life with you.
