So pure.BY LILY FEINN
No one expects to fall in love with the boy next door, but when a shy golden retriever named Lola met her neighbor Loki, sparks immediately began to fly.
In March, Lola and her mom Amber Monte moved into their new home just outside of Surrey, England. Loki, a Staffordshire terrier, was one of the first to greet the new arrivals. His stretch of yard was separated from Montes property by a wooden fence, but despite the barrier, the two dogs got to know each other.
Weve never lived next to other dogs before, and Lola was so excited to see another dog so often! Monte told The Dodo. When Loki was in his garden hed always jump up at the fence and look for Lola, as he knew she was usually there.
Lola reciprocated Lokis advances, but her parents didnt think it was anything more than a budding friendship. Lola would always jump up and give him a little hello with some licks, Monte said. We only just thought they were getting to know each other and that would be it, really.
Monte never worried that Lola would form any real attachment to Loki. After all, he just didnt seem like her normal type. Shes usually quite shy and timid, Monte said. She gets quite scared around other large dogs when we are out on walks, which is why we found it so odd when she took so well to Loki.
But about a month ago, Monte noticed a change in Lolas behavior. The dog now preferred to spend her days by the back door whining to go outside, as if pining for Loki.
When we let her out, the first thing shell do is jump up at the fence to see if Loki is out, Monte said. If Loki isnt out, shell sit and wait by the fence.
Loki found Lola just as fetching, and even figured out a way to be closer to his beloved.
A few times the past month weve actually come out to see Loki in our garden and them both playing around together, Monte said. Now, usually in the mornings when we go to let Lola out, Loki is sat waiting in our garden for her!
The two dogs love nothing more than those precious moments they spend together. And, luckily, Lolas parents are understanding about her boyfriend's frequent visits.
They are so excited to see each other when they play theres lots of jumping around, running, lots of kissing! Monte said. They are inseparable when they are together.

If Loki and Lola prove anything, its that love cannot be fenced in.
