The video of a dog expressing sadness over its owner's business trip has touched the hearts of many online users
Users on TikTok were moved by a video featuring a dog expressing sadness as its owner prepares for a business trip. The video captures the dog standing on the stairs, gazing sorrowfully at its owner who is closing her suitcase.
The video showcasing the dog's reaction was shared by its owner, Julia, who goes by @mia_thespringerspaniel on TikTok. Newsweek reported on this.
Julia resides with her dog, Mia, an English Springer Spaniel, in rural Cambridgeshire, UK. She works as a flight attendant for an Italian airline and mentioned that Mia understands the situation and is not fond of it.
"Mia knows exactly what's going on when I pack my suitcase, and she knows I'm going to be gone for at least one day, if not more," explained Julia.
According to Julia, she got Mia as a puppy in 2020 during the COVID-19 quarantine when she was laid off from her job. During the time of isolation and unemployment, they spent a lot of time together and were almost never separated from each other. She mentioned that Mia provided moral support during the period when she received the news of her mother's cancer and after her mother's funeral.
"I think that spending all that time in Italy with me, my dying mom, dad, and sisters really affected her personality. She knows when I'm sad, and she wraps her arms around my neck or sits on my head and face until she makes me feel better," shared the dog's owner.
After returning to her normal life, Julia started working part-time. Although she doesn't have to leave for extended periods, Mia is well aware that her owner needs to be away for a while, and therefore, she feels sad.
