When this adorable Staffie woke up from this nap, he didn't notice his owner was in the house. She captured his reaction, as he waited for her to come home.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are known to be extremely devoted to their family, and this lovely boy is no different, patiently waiting for his person to come home. 

Little did he know, she was in the room, filming his reaction the whole time. 

All alone

Thinking he had been left at home alone, the loyal Staffie just sits at the window, staring longingly outside.

"He's just woken up from a nap, and he hasn't realised that we're home", his owner explains. 

The heartbreaking scene brought tears to peoples' eyes, with 226k views on TikTok. 

He needs a hug

While it's possible the pup is experiencing some form of separation anxiety, many dogs do enjoy watching the world go by as they wait for their humans to come home.

"No truer love than the love of a dog", wrote a viewer, with another responding, "hug him. The poor man is sad".

One viewer was so touched by the scene that she commented "well I need to quit my job now", so that she could stay home with her pets. "Same", replied Tessa, who shares her life with the dog in the clip.
