A woman has recently been the talk of the internet for sharing a video where her dog hilariously reacts when she returns home without her husband. The video quickly gained immense popularity on social media platforms.
In the video posted on TikTok by the username hanclarkexx, the woman, hailing from Surrey, UK, is seen unlocking her front door while her eager pup waits behind, anticipating who’s arriving.
However, upon realizing that it’s just his mom and not his dad, the dog begins to search around the car for his missing family member, neglecting to give his mom the warm welcome she anticipated.
The caption accompanying the post humorously reads: “This is how my dog reacts when daddy isn’t with me. So rude.”
Explaining the situation, the woman stated, “I wanted to show my husband how our dog reacts when I come home without him. This was his reaction, looking for him. He just wanted the whole family together and was concerned when dad wasn’t there!”
She further added, “His favorite human changes, depending on who feeds him breakfast. But on that day, dad held the special title.”
According to Rover.com, dogs often pick their favorite person based on factors like socialization, attention, positive associations, and personality. Early social experiences, especially between birth and six months, significantly influence their choice.
Dogs develop bonds with those who shower them with attention and affection. Positive interactions like treats and playtime help strengthen these bonds, as per the website’s insights.
If you find out you’re not your dog’s top pick, fret not! All you need to do to become their favorite is to spend quality one-on-one time with them daily.
The viral video attracted a large audience on TikTok, accumulating over 628,900 likes and 20,300 comments. Viewers were entertained by the dog’s behavior and shared their reactions.
One user named Fliss wrote, “Can we now see how he reacts when daddy does come home, please?”
Johanna commented, “He turns around for a second glance, just to ensure he didn’t miss daddy.”
Rayhdjgl9l6 added, “They always search for missing pack members and would react similarly if he came home first without you.”
