The clip, shared by 23-year-old Marshall, who only gave his first name, was recorded on a Blink camera set up to monitor Kiwi while she’s home alone.In the video, Kiwi can be seen suddenly becoming alert as she hears her owners coming in, and she can’t hide her delight at seeing her humans who then shower her with cuddles and attention.It’s something Marshall, from Los Angeles, California, says happens every single time, no matter how long they’ve been gone. The on-screen caption says: “Nothing beats this after work.”The overwhelming response to the video proves that Kiwi’s enthusiasm—which includes bouncing excitedly and enthusiastic tail wags—is something many dog owners can relate to.”Our golden puppy pees himself every time we come in ’cause he’s so excited,” said TikToker RightLife.While James Simpson said: “A man’s one true moments of unconditional love.””That greeting every day does not ever get old,” agreed Erica Snyder.While viewer E simply said: “Dogs are the best.”Marshall was delighted by the reaction online and said: “I just thought it was a cute moment to share on her TikTok page.”Do Dogs Miss You When You’re Gone?Evidence shows that dogs do miss their owners when they go out, and often show this with their body language, just like Kiwi. In fact, dog behaviorist Kait Hembree previously told Newsweek: “The volume and frequency of their chosen speech often indicates exactly how excited they are that you are home and could be interpreted as an indication of just how much they missed you too.”Dogs express their longing through vocalizations like barking, whining, and howling, as well as physical behaviors such as tail wagging, wiggling, and seeking touch, many dogs will even wait by the door or excitedly search for their owners when they return.The feeling is mutual, too. The 2022 Wag! Dog Parent Survey survey found that 42 percent of remote workers admitted they would miss their dog more than their children when returning to the office, reinforcing the deep bond between dogs and their humans.In comparison the survey, which quizzed more than 1,000 US adults who welcomed a dog into their lives in the past two years, found that only 21.3 per cent said they’d miss their kids the most once back in the office.Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
