You know how they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Well, sometimes you don't have to. 

Take this 17-year-old dog for example who is now too old to walk up and down the stairs to his backyard. So instead of getting carried every time he needs to go out, his owner built him his own elevator. 

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye and those warm feeling to your heart, you might be a soulless bastard. 

The bond between humans and their pets is well documented, but this might be a first-of-a-kind. You know this dad loves his dog more than life itself. And you know this dog love that man the same. 

While the comments are mostly jokes, as will all videos, we weren't the only ones who thought the elevator was going to up not down. 

"Not me thinking it was about to go UP to the 2nd-floor window," commented one user. 

"Same dad who said 16 years ago we are NOT getting a dog."
