A video that's only a few seconds long perfectly sums up the huge upheaval a new baby brings to our four-legged friends. On the TikTok account dedicated to Willard, a Bernese Mountain Dog, the pooch is seen looking utterly dejected. The caption to the clip reads: "Willard after realising the baby isn't leaving." His owners added ironically: "Safe to say the adjustment period is still ongoing."
A rude awakening
For Willard, the shock has been a tough one. Until now, this big fluffy teddy bear enjoyed a quiet life, the undivided attention of his owners, and a well-oiled routine. But overnight, his world has been turned upside down.
The internet weighs in
The dog's side-eye and look of utter devastation immediately won over the internet. In the comments, reactions ranged from bursts of laughter to sympathy. "Willard is literally in mourning!" one user joked, while another commented: "That side eye... He's thinking 'I never signed up for this'." One person even humorously offered to let him come and stay if living together gets too much to bear.
But for anyone about to welcome a new baby, rest assured that in time, the dog's sadness should fade... especially when the little one starts dropping tasty morsels from their high chair.
