Anyone who has ever owned a loving and faithful puppy knows perfectly well that the bond between a pet and its favorite human is unique and incomparable.
For true furry lovers, they are like another child, occupying a special place not only in the heart of their owners, but also in the heart of the whole family.
The symptoms of canine depression are similar to those suffered by people.
One of the most difficult things is to leave them at home or with a family member or very close friend due to travel or work.
This, undoubtedly, not only worries the owner, who does not stop thinking about his beloved fur ball, but it often transforms the dog’s behavior.
This is exactly what happened to a woman from Cape Town, South Africa, who had to leave home for a few days due to a business trip.
This is an adorable middle-aged chow chow puppy.
The woman left her beloved puppy in the care of her daughter, who of course would give it the same attention as her mother. But surprisingly, the puppy could not stand the absence of its favorite person and became deeply depressed.
The chow chow seemed to have become ill, it was as if his world had collapsed. In this regard the young woman comments:
“The dog lost all vitality since mom left. He was eating badly and had stopped playing altogether.”
The depressed puppy was missing mom with all his strength.
The concerned young woman stresses that she did everything she could to try to cheer him up but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until she had the idea of making a video call with the dog’s owner that the poor thing regained the will to live.
However, the young woman did not imagine the heartbreaking experience she would live through.
The sad little dog, seeing his mother through the screen, lay completely motionless on the couch. But, as his owner spoke to him the little dog seemed to have become even more depressed.
“His eyes filled with tears and he let out haunting whimpers as he tried to tell mom that he missed her too much.”
This touching video captured the heart-wrenching moment when the little dog, his feelings on edge, told mom how much he missed her.
The mother, from the other side of the screen, tries to calm him down by assuring him that she will be back soon, but the devastated puppy just looked at her with his heart broken into a thousand pieces while some tears escaped from his tender eyes.
Some people pointed fingers at the young woman for exposing the puppy to such an ordeal. Since he was already suffering too much to see his owner on the other side, it was like increasing his pain even more. However, she assured that she had the best intentions and that she never imagined such a reaction from the sentimental puppy.
The loss or absence of a favorite person causes changes in the puppy’s behavior.
The woman, for her part, never expected her puppy to become depressed during her absence, we are sure that when she returns this beloved puppy will be comforted with lots of extra love and attention. And you will think twice before you have to leave him, and break his heart like that.
It is a reality that puppies feel, suffer and suffer the absence of their favorite people. We do not understand how there are still people who affirm that they do not have feelings.
Undoubtedly, puppies feel the emptiness of their owners, as much as they do when their pets are gone. Don’t stop pampering them and let’s continue being a bridge so that more people can enjoy touching stories.
