HOBOKEN, New Jersey (WABC) -- We have all heard of a pandemic puppy, but what about a pandemic-puppy friendship?

One woman in New Jersey captured the heartwarming moment between her dog and a neighbor they grew close to over the course of the pandemic.

In the video, Jackie Libertiny notices her dog Charli starting out of the window of their car in Hoboken. She tries to get Charli's attention, but he is laser focused on someone or something.
