If you're a real dog lover, you might want to break out a box of tissues for this one…
Anyone lucky enough to be a canine pet parent knows that nothing else in the world can compare to having a furry best friend. Dogs aren't just extremely protective, comforting and loyal…they love us unconditionally and just like when you'd leave a little child, they become truly heartbroken when we go away for a while.
Being home alone all day can be pretty confusing and upsetting for our pets: Dogs crave our constant attention and light up when we give it to them, so it's easy to understand why they get hurt when we leave. After all, most were taken away from their families at a very young age and likely fear being abandoned again.
In the following video, which has been viewed a shocking 18+ million times, we see what happened when one man decided to attach a GoPro camera around his dog's neck to record exactly what he was up to all day. I have to warn you, the edited result can be a bit upsetting, as the dog kind of aimlessly wanders around the house and cries out for his owner, YouTube user Mike The Intern.
The point here is that most of us have no choice but to leave our pets at home alone for periods of time. That's exactly why it's so important to show our pets love in the time we do share with them.
