Our neighbor has a black lab. She usually stays in her yard but on a very few occasions has come over to me while I was doing yard work. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we noticed her walking around our front yard, which basically never happens. There was no sign of the neighbor, and it was supposed to get really cold out the next night and my wife was worried that she was going to be stuck outside overnight, so she set out some food and water at the edge of the yard just in case. But she couldn't get the dog to come over to her.
Next day, the dog was still outside, still no sign of the neighbor (we eventually called the town cops for a wellness check and he's fine), so she tried again to make friends, and this time the dog basically decided she's now the best person in the world. We think the dog is starved for attention/playtime; her owner is an older guy.
So, fast-forward to yesterday. Wife is leaving the house to go see the doctor about back spasms,, and 30 seconds after the door closes, she calls me and says she needs a little help in the driveway. So I walk outside and she's sitting in the car with the door open. And I come around the door to see a black lab sitting on the floor under the steering wheel, just as happy as could be.
Apparently, Jaime saw the dog outside and got out of the car to say hello. The dog came running over, jumped up and literally hugged her, and wouldn't leave her alone, to the point of jumping into the car with her.
tl;dr - dogs are awesome and my wife is trying to steal one from the neighbor.
