When Aaliya’s two-year-old Newfoundland dog, Chewy, couldn’t hide his sadness as she left for school, it tugged at the heartstrings of many.
Amy Savino, Aaliya’s mom, captured Chewy’s unmistakable reaction on video and shared it on Reddit, where she described having to witness her furry friend’s heartbreak every morning.
“Chewy adores his family and the kids. He gets so down whenever someone leaves, especially the kids,”
Savino shared.
As more pet owners return to the office after remote work, a survey by Wag! revealed that 41% of them expected to miss their dogs more than their human family members.
But what about the dogs?
Studies and insights from dog behavior experts suggest that dogs can feel the pangs of missing their owners as soon as they part ways, showing more signs of longing the longer they are left alone.
Newfoundland dogs, like Chewy, are known for their friendly and loving nature, making them popular choices as family pets. Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1886, they rank as the 42nd most popular breed in the U.S.
Chewy’s touching response to Aaliya leaving for the day has captivated the online community, with the Reddit post having over 5,000 upvotes and a flood of comments.
Reddit user Witchynightstar found the moment both funny and adorable, exclaiming, “OMG, this is just too cute! He really loves his kid.”

Savino enjoys sharing Chewy’s antics on social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube, noting, “Chewy is an exceptional dog and never fails to entertain us.”
