It’s quite common to witness dogs forming bonds with young children, as they often exhibit similar playful behaviors. However, have you ever noticed a dog that clings to an elderly person as if they understand the connection?

Meet John, an 87-year-old man, and his daughter’s beloved dog, Princess Diva. They are sure to bring a smile to your face!

This adorable pair not only spends every day together but truly are soulmates! In the summer of 2021, John’s daughter, Katie, moved him to a flat right next door so she could care for him, and ever since, he and Dolly have been inseparable.

Katie began caring for her dad after he was diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s. At 87, John required constant assistance, but what he received was far more enriching!

Dolly, Katie’s Pomeranian, instantly took a liking to John. This immediate bond astonished Katie, prompting her to let Dolly stay with him as a companion.

“I believe she plays a significant role in his well-being. She provides comfort and helps keep his mind engaged and entertained,” Katie remarked to The Dodo.
