A woman was left emotional as her dog made best friends with a new neighbor, after initially being cautious.

Professional dancer and performing arts teacher Kelly Stevens, 26, lives in Chester, England, with her dog, Peanut, and recently welcomed a new family to their neighborhood.

And along with the new family came the family's pet labradoodle, which immediately showed an interest in becoming friends with Peanut.

"Their dog likes to hide under bushes so she pushed her way under our huge hedge that joins our houses. One day she was just there," Stevens told Newsweek.

"Peanut had the shock of her life when she went out and so did we," Stevens went on, calling the neighbor's pet "the most beautiful-natured dog" who was immediately curious and friendly towards Peanut.

"Peanut on the other hand is very nervous and so naturally barked and was very anxious," she said of her miniature poodle border collie cross.

Slowly but surely, however, a friendship developed, as the neighbor's dog repeatedly returned to the fence — and Stevens caught the blossoming relationship on camera.

Shared to her TikTok account @kellyameliastevens1 in August, it shows the neighbor lying by the fence, sticking her paw and snout through to greet Peanut, who jumps backward and barks, astounded by her sudden appearance.

But the neighbor didn't give up: she kept returning, at one point bringing Peanut toys to win her over, which Peanut would happily steal, leading Stevens to chase her to return them.

The toys and perseverance paid off, and the two dogs are now the best of friends, to the point where Peanut will cry if her buddy isn't at the fence, Stevens revealed in the video.

And she captioned the clip: "A real life Disney movie."

Stevens explained to Newsweek: "Peanut didn't initially like all the fuss the neighbor's dog was getting off us. The dog started over the next few days just sitting there lying down and waiting for Peanut to come over but she would ignore her."

While Peanut would gladly steal the toys the dog brought as a show of friendship, she would still "show her no affection," but now, "whenever we would open the door and the neighbor's dog wasn't there, Peanut would start to cry."

If Peanut isn't outside when the neighbor visits, she also waits patiently by the fence for her friend to come to play.

And Stevens met the human neighbors, too—as their dog "stole their hat, and brought it to show Peanut and they had to crawl under the hedge to get it off her."

TikTok users fell in love with the two dogs' sweet relationship, which has over 7,600 likes on the app, as one commenter declared: "Right I'm invested, I will be awaiting the rest of their story."

"That is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen," another admitted.

"Please give us more updates and tell me they have play dates," another said, while one issued a similar plea: "Please tell me there is an upcoming play date at yours!"

For now, it remains a "fence friendship," but Stevens told Newsweek she is hopeful they can set up a "play date" between the two pups soon.

While Stevens and her dog got lucky with their neighbors, not everyone feels the same: a survey from LendingTree found that almost three-quarters of Americans dislike at least one of their neighbors, with 17 percent of those saying the reason is because their pets cause a disruption.

Stevens was pleased to see her dog's video go viral, as she thinks "both dogs are adorable so it's lovely to think that other people do, too".

She added: "I spend hours watching dog videos, so it's definitely something I would watch!"
