One dog is proving that dreams don’t have an expiration date.
Leo, a Labrador Retriever with a heart of gold, was adopted after not making the cut at service dog school. But that hasn’t stopped him from making a difference — or capturing hearts online. His owner, Sam, shared his inspiring journey on TikTok, showing how he continues to help and bring joy, even in unexpected ways.
In a TikTok video, which has now gone viral with over 7 million views, Leo drags a blue shirt in his mouth to his owner.
"Did you pick out that blue shirt for me?" Sam asks Leo on camera. "Thank you, Leo. You're the best boy."

He doesn’t stop there — the playful pup then delivers a black sports bra.
"Is that a dirty sports bra?" she says, laughing. "Thank you, Leo, thank you."
Following this, Leo also brings a notebook and then a shoe, turning the video into a heartwarming display of his quirky, helpful personality.
“Thank you, Leo, for finding your way to me,” his owner captioned the video celebrating the pup. Though he may not be a registered service dog, he's still finding new ways to use the skills he learned along the way.
