While Lex and his owner were out for a walk and playing in the park, the dog suddenly lost sight of his human.
It was very unusual for him to be unable to see or smell his owner.
A moment of panic
This time, however, after wandering off to sniff something, Lex suddenly found himself all alone. He couldn't understand where his owner could have gone. The video shows him frantically searching all around.
In reality, his owner had deliberately hidden behind a pillar to see how his dog would react. He then called out to Lex, who immediately came running back. As the owner noted in the video's caption, there's nothing more unconditional than a dog's love.
A controversial drill
In the video's comments, Lex's owner explained that this was a regular training exercise he does with Lex to improve his awareness and attention. He wants his dog to always keep an eye on him, so he doesn't get so absorbed by a scent that he forgets his owner is there.
However, viewers strongly disapproved of the exercise. ”Apologise to him right now,” one person commented. Another wrote, ”That’s not nice. He was so worried.” We hope Lex quickly got over the scare of losing his owner for a few moments!
