Hig belongs to one of my neighbors. I recently moved from a big city to a small town and the dogs sure roam a lot more freely around here. It required about a month worth of effort to be able to pet Hig as he's sort of skittish but once he warmed up he turned into a bit of a regular on my steps. At first I was nervous about how he would interact with my dog Scooby but so far Hig has been really cool. I know a lot of you are expecting some Undertaker/Mankind ending on a paragraph of this size from me but I was asked by the mods of /r/aww not to do that on their subreddit... and I've honored their request. I'll catch you guys later over in /r/gifs.
My boy was an every dog. He used to head over to my neighbor's, go in, and wait for the their teenage daughter in her bed for her to get home from school. He had been doing it for the better part of the last 3 years.
When he passed a few months ago, neighbor's daughter confided in me that he was what saved her. She was seriously considering suicide when she was about 14. She said, she knew that Omar loved her so much, and looked so forward to seeing him in her bed, waiting and wagging.... the thought of abandoning him seemed so selfish and cruel.
We lost him suddenly 3 months ago. It was my neighbor's daughter who has been my main support....a 17 yo helping a 46 yo. Process grief.
All I know, was that my good boy had that effect on just about every one who met and loved him...which was quite a few ppl, as he did what this good boy did.

He's clearly partially your dog, because he clearly loves you.
