I’m the oldest child in my family, so I don’t have a ton of experience with being left out. Honestly, one of the perks (and later sources of guilt) associated with being the oldest is that you’re the one who gets to do the leaving out.
But on the rare occasions that it did happen, boy, did it sting. Like this adorable little pug on pool day, I was always trying to figure out how to muscle my way back in, especially when it seemed like all my favorite people were having fun without me.
But sometimes, being left out isn’t meant as an intentional affront — it’s just part of the process! Like when a big sibling goes to school, and the little ones still at home, like this adorable munchkin, are ready for it be their turn already!
Of course, some babies just aren’t willing to hear it… That’s what happened to a teenage girl living the U.K. She tries to explain to her husky puppy Hugo that she has to leave for the day to go to college (the U.K. term for secondary or high school), but he is not having it.
Watch the video below to see his adorable reaction to finding out that his best friend is going to be gone for literally hours.
And if this sweet and silly video made you want to cuddle up the pups in your life, please SHARE on Facebook for all the dog-lovers out there who know the pain of school day separation anxiety!
