Randall F. Dean's family made a home video tribute to Riley, their dog who died in 2024. Shot in their house, it shows everyday moments: bathing him, feeding him, playing, with family members joking and talking over footage. The video ends with everyone saying "good boy" together.
Chapters
I just gave this beautiful dog a bath, which goes to prove that if my wife asks me to do something, it will most definitely get done sometime in the next 6 to 24 months.
My dad bought me a new toy. I love toys. This one squeaks, but I get really, really agitated because she might steal my toy, so I have to protect my toy.
I love sofas. I really love sofas. Sofas are amazing. I like pillows better. Pillows are the best. Wonder if we'll get a walk today though, or maybe a car ride. Did he say car ride?
I love the show. Me too.
Sometimes things happen. Sometimes people drive by. Sometimes there's a dog. Did you say dog? I don't see a dog.
What about a cat?
Is there a squirrel?
No.
No.
No.
Stop telling me there's stuff that there isn't, is there, Dad?
Do you want to go for a walk? Want to go for a walk?
No. What the hell do you— Of course I want to go for a walk.
Hurry up!
Let's go! Sir Royles of Lansing East, Estates of Shaw, Avenue Longfellow, surveying his properties.
Wrong way, Clary!
Clary, what's this?
What is this?
Come here, baby.
What is that?
Riley, what's this?
Come here, Clary. Clary, come here.
Told you, didn't I tell you?
I told you he'd come right over and drink out of it.
Clary, come here.
Clary, I'm going to get—
No, just leave.
Just let her go.
Let's see what she—
Let's see your water.
You thirsty?
In here. Come on, get in.
They probably love it now that I got sunscreen on my hand.
We need to get her in.
Dogs hate water.
No, not all. Some love it.
Riley was really thirsty.
Wait, are you ready?
Yeah, great.
Let me give you— it's like a giant water bowl.
Okay, here we go.
You got to step into it.
Ready?
Oh, that didn't scare her at all.
Zoe, come in!
So this is what happens to me if I'm standing right under Mom. When she's making chili. I always wanted to be a redhead.
Riley. What you got? What you got?
Well, that's not very nice.
So this just happened right here. The door is not even open. I'm trying to finish up my Friday workday and this just happened right here.
Ah, the joys of working from home.
Good boy.
That's a good boy. Oh, did I stop petting? Oh, do I gotta keep petting? Okay, I'll keep petting. I'll keep petting.
Okay.
Oh no, did I stop again? Oh good, don't stop petting. Silly boy. You silly boy. No, no, stop petting again. Don't stop petting Dad.
Good boy.
Oh, whatever you do, don't stop patting.
Yes, silly dog. You're silly. Okay, big silly boy.
