Loyal Golden Retriever Waits All Day by the Door for His Little Boy to Come Home from School
Our childhood memories are made of little moments — favorite toys, beach trips, and new adventures. But for one boy named Frankie, the most special memories are the ones he shares with his furry best friend, Beau, a loyal Golden Retriever who has been with him since birth.
Beau has been part of the Derise family from New Jersey for years, witnessing every milestone — from Frankie’s first crawl and steps to his first words. But recently, Beau faced something he wasn’t prepared for: saying goodbye to his little brother on his first day of school.
In a now-viral video shared by the family, Beau watches as Frankie, along with his parents, Frank and Erica, leaves for school. The moment the door closes, Beau’s demeanor changes. He tilts his head, his tail slows, and his eyes fixate on the door — waiting for his best friend to come back.
Hours passed, but Beau refused to leave his spot. He sat quietly in the foyer, ears perked, watching every sound that came from outside. “Leaving Frankie at school was hard…but watching Beau wait for him by the door? Heartbreaking,” the family captioned their post.
When the family returned later that day without Frankie, Beau’s confusion deepened. His expressive eyes seemed to ask, “Where’s my boy?” Thousands of viewers online were moved to tears, with many sharing similar stories of their childhood dogs waiting faithfully by the window or door until school was out.
Finally, the best moment came — Frankie walked through the door, and Beau leapt with joy, showering him in kisses. Their reunion melted hearts across the internet. One commenter wrote, “I’m actually crying. I remember being that age, and the best part of coming home was always seeing my dog.”
The video perfectly captured the unbreakable bond between a child and his dog — one built on love, loyalty, and shared memories.
Today, Beau and Frankie continue to grow up side by side, learning life’s lessons together. As the Derise family wrote, “Watching Beau and Frankie’s bond grow stronger every day is something I’ll never take for granted.”
Even though school means more time apart, one thing will never change: Beau will always be waiting by the door, ready to welcome his best friend home.
