Mauro Tutzo noticed a couple had moved into the apartment next door but the one that first introduced itself to him was their dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The black and brown pup named Never climbed onto Mauro\u2019s balcony and waited outside the glass door. What first was just an unexpected visit then became a daily ritual. Their newly formed bond was filled to the brim with attention, accompanied naps and even brand new pet toys Tutzo had bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A surprise visitor crosses the balcony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing new people around and due to his monotonous lifestyle Mauro thoughts of meeting his new neighbors started going through his mind.

He climbed onto my balcony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pup couldn\u2019t have chosen a better door. Mauro sells pet products and keeps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/dog-care\/canine-diy-enrichment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enrichment toys<\/a> in his home office! He then promptly invited the dog inside, filled one toy with a squeezable treat, and placed it on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mauro.tutzo\/video\/7672564883547835668\" data-video-id=\"7672564883547835668\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@mauro.tutzo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mauro.tutzo?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@mauro.tutzo<\/a> <p>Hoy tom\u00e9 el control de la cuenta yo, Atte: Never @Borcelleuy_ <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c sonido original - Mauro Tutzo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/sonido-original-7672565121252313872?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c sonido original &#8211; Mauro Tutzo<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never finds exactly the right neighbor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never (the dog) quickly licked up the treat and was in no hurry to leave. He spent several more hours playing, relaxing and even napping in Mauro\u2019s apartment until his owners returned from their work later that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was when Mauro finally got to introduce himself, meet his new neighbors and discover the visitor\u2019s name. His owners explained that Never was allowed onto his own balcony during the day, but that he hated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoticias.com\/en\/a-genetic-study-of-1343-golden-retrievers-has-found-genes-tied-to-emotions-that-also-appear-in-humans-suggesting-dogs-may-share-more-of-our-inner-world-than-expected\/31975\/\">being alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another video Mauro said that \u201chonestly, he is the most attention-needy dog in the world. He wants attention all the time, and if you stop petting him he gets upset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A small spa day seals the friendship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mauro did not mind Never\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoticias.com\/en\/if-your-dog-touches-you-with-its-paw-its-not-a-coincidence-the-real-message-may-surprise-you-and-its-not-always-i-want-you-to-pet-me\/29857\/\">constant need for company<\/a>, in fact, he was delighted when he woke up around noon the next day and found the dog already waiting outside the sliding glass door. \u201cHe is basically enjoying a little spa day with the steam,\u201d Mauro said while trying a steam brush on his visitor. Never\u2019s reaction convinced him to continue the grooming session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-75909fba\">\n<div><div class=\"gb-looper-961cf6e9\">\n<div class=\"gb-loop-item gb-loop-item-6502b703 post-36192 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-trending-news resize-featured-image\">\n<h4 class=\"gb-text gb-text-3ccef504\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoticias.com\/en\/a-dog-waited-nearly-a-year-in-a-san-diego-shelter-after-her-owner-fell-into-a-coma-and-one-familiar-face-online-changed-everything\/36192\/\">A dog waited nearly a year in a San Diego shelter after her owner fell into a coma, and one familiar face online changed everything<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never appeared happy to stay for the afternoon and rested on the floor for hours afterward.

Never took the new activity very seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the third day the first spontaneous visit had already become a routine that both Mauro and Never looked forward to, turning Mauro\u2019s ordinary workday into something warmer and less lonely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two quiet days show how much the visits matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mauro enjoyed Never\u2019s cheerful company so much that he started noticing a difference in his feelings when Never was not there. \u201cI hadn\u2019t seen him in two days,\u201d Mauro said.
