Meet Oscar, a charming 14-year-old terrier mix from Dublin, who is stealing hearts on TikTok with his adorable antics.

A Perfect Gentle-dog

Since the end of August, a video showcasing Oscar’s delightful daily ritual has garnered millions of views, making him a beloved figure among social media users.

In the viral clip, Oscar patiently waits outside his neighbor’s door, where a tasty treat is already waiting for him.

Instead of immediately grabbing the snack, Oscar perfects his signature "dog eyes," appealing to the kindness of his neighbor, Liz.

Once he receives a gentle pat, he carefully picks up the treat between his teeth and strolls back home, showcasing a level of politeness that has charmed viewers everywhere.

Charming Everyone He Meets

The video has amassed nearly 200,000 likes and over 1.1 million views, highlighting the sweet bond between Oscar and his community.

But is Oscar always on his best behavior? Liz shared with Newsweek that this delightful tradition began about a year ago, with the approval of Oscar’s owner, Jim.

"My partner Mike and I have always liked Oscar, and with Jim's permission, we started giving him treats to win his favor," she joked.

However, Liz hints that Oscar isn’t as perfectly behaved as he appears. He has been known to bark for his treats and can be quite the social butterfly, visiting neighbors and charming everyone he meets. '

While Jim always keeps plenty of dog treats on hand, it’s clear that Oscar knows how to work his magic on those around him.

In reality, Oscar is not just a sweet old dog but a clever one, expertly wrapping his neighbors around his paw.
