Every day, Emmy has one mission and one mission only: Visit Linda Rose. Who is Linda Rose? the next-door neighbor that she absolutely adores.

This isn't your typical Labrador retriever kind of love, either. Emmy's favorite person is Linda Rose, with the pup's mailperson a close second. In fact, Emmy's humans have dedicated their channel to showcasing the love the Labrador has for her favorite humans, including strangers she immediately bonds with on the street.

A sweet and loving Lab, Emmy even has her own doorbell to Linda's house, giving her 24/7 access to her favorite person. This pooch couldn't be more adorable if she tried.

"The Neighbor This Labrador Can't Live Without"

Linda Rose may be "the neighbor this labrador can't live without," according to Emmy's human, but the love is definitely mutual. Hoping out of her human's vehicle and running at full speed to Linda Rose's house, Emmy can't go one more second without her favorite neighbor.

Trying (and failing) to press her eye-level doorbell placed by Linda Rose, Emmy waits patiently at the door with her tail wagging back and forth like a helicopter. Even careful enough to avoid crushing one of Linda's packages waiting for her at the door, Emmy's body wiggles show just how excited this adorable pup is.

Fortunately, Linda is home, and the two are more than ecstatic to see each other once again. Once Emmy enters her neighbor's home, Linda slams the door on the package and Emmy's dad, and suddenly, everyone is happy once more.

"Lab first, package second. Linda Rose has her priorities in order," mentioned one commenter. Another viewer adds, "I LOVE how I can see Emmy's dad's SHADOW in the sun, when you're running after her!! ALMOST as much joy as watching Emmy running!"

Like many in the comments, the entire video had us almost as excited as the pup, with many more worried about the fact that Emmy never really rang the doorbell in the first place. "I am here talking to Emmy like I'm there with her. 'Emmy! Ring the doorbell! Maybe she didn't hear it. Ring again!'" noted one viewer.

At the end of the day, Emmy is back with her favorite human (outside of her parents, of course), and all is right again.
