This was the case for one puppy's mum, who had to leave her little one with a dog-sitter while she went on holiday.
A heart-melting update
Thankfully, with modern technology, we can now stay 'connected' to our pets, even when we're miles away.
So, she asked her dog-sitter to send photos and videos of her puppy.
When she received the most adorable video of her puppy, her heart melted.
The footage shows the puppy walking through the streets of Atlanta, in the US, with his dog-sitter. He's walking on a lead and doing incredibly well, especially for his young age!
A viral sensation
The dog-sitter mentioned that the pup's walking had improved a lot. When he tried to eat things off the street, she would tell him to 'leave it', and he would listen perfectly.
His owner was so charmed that she decided to come home to her puppy as soon as she could.
Two million people on TikTok were captivated by the puppy's adventures, and so were we!
