There is nothing like being a little New York City dog, especially when you are friends with hotel doormen who give you treats.<\/p>\n
Case in point with the long-haired blond Obi, the Dachshund<\/strong><\/a>, who has become best friends with a hotel doorman.<\/p>\n In a video from the account @obi.ween.nyc, Obi is seen running at full sprint in his bright red sweater to see his doorman friend at his post.<\/p>\n He gets lots of scratches and belly rubs from his human friend and couldn’t be happier.<\/p>\n Obi’s mother captioned the video, “Everyone needs a Doorman Ralph in their life.”<\/p>\n Then the video cuts to different days where the same thing happened with Obi running to see his friend Ralph.<\/p>\n Once again, Obi runs at full sprint to see his friend and get his cuddles<\/a>, scratches, and belly rubs.<\/p>\n It doesn’t even look like he has befriended the doorman because he gets a treat; he just wants all the love.<\/p>\n It is so sweet!<\/p>\n If you love some good Dachshund<\/a> in the city content, then this is a great account for you.<\/p>\n It doesn’t happen with every stranger or with every dog, but sometimes a pup will just take a strong liking to a random person they meet in passing or maybe at a store.<\/p>\n So why is this? A lot of it has to do with body language.<\/p>\n Dogs are great readers of body language and can pick up on cues very easily. If a person has warm and open body language, the pooch can see that and may be more likely to embrace it.<\/p>\n Related: Dachshund’s Precious Wave With His Tiny Little Leg Has the Internet Smitten<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A professional dog behaviorist told VetsExplainPets.com<\/em><\/a>, \u201cDogs are masters at reading body language. They can sense when someone is approachable and friendly, and they respond accordingly. It\u2019s important for strangers to approach dogs in a calm and nonthreatening manner to build trust.\u201d<\/p>\n Dogs are also very good at reading people’s energy. They can tell when a person they walk by has a warm, positive energy and would just love to interact with them in a calm way.<\/p>\n When Obi first walked by Ralph, he could probably sense from both his energy and body language that this could be a great friend.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 16, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
