Dogs have one of two ways of reacting while home alone: throw a party for themselves or sulk in their feelings until their humans are finally back. Any pet owner will tell you as frustrating as the party habit can be with ripped-up furniture, the latter hurts more.
One pug owner felt that pain in her core after checking in on her pug via the pet camera. No owner wants to see their fur baby sad and upset while they're home alone, but with a pet cam, you're likely to see their disappointed look.
In a January 11 TikTok video posted by user @oski_the_pug, the pug was walking around the house with his head down. With his owner gone, he was lost. He decided to use his big-boy words and ask for a simple request with the talking buttons.

The caption reads: "I'm not crying - you're crying. Ok, not true, I'm crying. Also, I wasn't gone long so Oski is ok."
...
All Oski asked was for his owner to return. No, literally, he stepped on one button and one button only. The button said: "Return." Then he moved to the door to see if his simple request worked. But, much to everyone's disappointment and his, the magic button did not work.
The heartbreaking clip had 514,400 views and 45,800 likes as of Wednesday with users bawling over how sad Oski seems home alone.
"I didn't need any more reasons to not ever leave for work again," said one viewer.
Another added: "I'd quit my job that day."
Other users are begging that this owner get Oski a friend to keep him company. She responded: "We have a very social cat who hangs out with Oski. Sunny will do in a pinch."
Clearly, Sunny is not living up to Oski's expectations if he is still waiting at the door for his owner.
Newsweek reached out to @oski_the_pug for additional comment.
As for the pets who pick to throw themselves a party, they somehow always get caught.
One dog owner recently found their dachshund standing on the table while he was home alone. He was standing tall like he was king of the castle. Another dog defied his owners by still getting onto the couch even after they placed more chairs on top to keep him off.
Maybe one day dogs will learn that they can't get away with anything, especially not with pet cameras in the house.
