The bond that forms between pet and owner is almost indescribable and extremely deep. Some people on the frontlines of this pandemic have been forced to quarantine away from their pets, but some have found ways to communicate with them none-the-less. Like this nurse who shares a special face time with her pooch and is going viral for it.
This dog recognizes her owner’s whistle and cries for her!
One nurse from Danvers, Massachusettes, shares the sweetest Facetime with her dog as she’s quarantined away from her
Many health care workers aren’t coming home in fear of spreading COVID-19 to their families and pets. That’s the situation for this nurse at a nursing home in Massachusetts, who is communicating with her dog over Facetime and touching hearts everywhere.
Last month she made a video of herself chatting with her dog, Bentley, and the love they share is obvious.Her brother posted the video captioned:
“My sister has not seen her dog for 3 weeks because she is a nurse and has been stationed at her nursing home. Last night she facetimed her dog Bentley, and she did her “signature” whistle. Her dog has never done this before.” Her brother wrote.
In the video, you can see the nurse do her signature whistle to which her dog responds to by crying out for her mommy
As soon as her dog Bentley hears her whistle, she begins howling and whining for her in a way that is both heartwrenching and heartwarming at the same time.
In the short video that’s only thirty-seconds long, Bentley cries for her mother 3-times with each one getting more and more intense.
After the second round of whistles, Bentley really takes the whining to a whole new level
You can tell it breaks her heart to hear her beloved dog cry for her, but I’m sure it’s also nice to know how missed she is at home. It’s clear that Bentley is ready for her mom, and best friend to come home.
Being quarantined away from your animal is one thing, but there’s a lot of pets that are getting used to being around their owners all the time. Many animal experts are worried about how pets might be affected when it’s time to go back to normal.
Experts from the Best Friends Animal Society, say that separation anxiety may affect pets when it’s time for their owners to go back to work
Make sure to look out for the signs of separation anxiety in your pets. here are a few of them:
- Barking, howling and whining for longer than 30 seconds when you leave
- Scratching and chewing at entrances and exits
- Destructive behavior when the dog is alone
- Change in appetite
- Obsessive behaviors, like overgrooming
It’s important to remember that our pets are suffering through the changes of the Coronavirus with us
This is new territory for everyone, including our pets that we love so much. Seeing the nurse above making sure to keep the communication with her dog important is awesome! They clearly have a deep bond.
