When Charlie the Goldendoodle met a stray dog his family found abandoned on a Southern California street, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately began sharing everything he had—and the heartwarming display has the internet begging his family to make it official.
Posted on TikTok by Goldendoodle.Charlie with text reading “This is my dog with a stray dog that we found abandoned. He’s been sharing all his toys with her, letting her take over his beds, and sharing all his food with her,” the video shows Charlie’s extraordinary generosity toward the sweet brown and white dog who was found limping near an empty field.
Despite having a limp, the rescued pup “doesn’t seem to be in active pain” and is described as “the sweetest girl 🤎” by her temporary foster family, who are actively seeking a permanent home or rescue organization to help.
But if the comment section has any say, that search might be over before it begins.
“They get along and it’s a sign to keep her 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️,” declared one viewer, expressing what hundreds of others were thinking.
“That’s not a stray. That’s his sister.🥰” wrote another commenter, recognizing the instant bond.

The matching aesthetics didn’t go unnoticed either. “Ummm they both match the bed. She has to stay now,” joked one fan, noting how perfectly coordinated they looked together.
“He’s sharing with her because he wants to keep her 🥰,” observed another viewer, interpreting Charlie’s generous behavior as a clear message to his humans.
Several commenters believed the decision had already been made—by Charlie himself. “I think your dog already adopted her 💕,” and “He adopted her! Congratulations,” fans declared.
“I don’t think your dog wants to give up his stray buddy!” noted one commenter, while another added, “Awww, that’s his soulmate!”
Why Do Dogs Share Beds, Toys and Food With Other Dogs?
Charlie’s willingness to share everything reflects natural canine pack behavior. Dogs living together form social groups, and sharing resources—whether beds, bowls or toys—demonstrates acceptance and bonding.
When dogs cuddle together in one bed or share food bowls, it signals they’ve formed a pack relationship. This behavior can be practical for warmth and comforting for dogs who enjoy companionship.

Charlie’s immediate generosity toward the rescued stray suggests he’s welcomed her into his pack, treating her as family rather than a stranger.
As one commenter perfectly summarized: “That is so sweet, a dog with a kind heart. They must stay together, it was meant to be.”
The family is located in Southern California and seeking rescue contacts or a forever home for this sweet girl—unless Charlie’s vote counts for anything.
