Owner Wonders What Dog Does Home Alone—Instant Tears When She Watches Cam
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The guilt of leaving your dog at home, even if only to run a quick errand, will eat away at an owner's heart, but one pet parent felt relief when she checked the camera. Owner Aaliyah told Newsweek via TikTok that she rescued a chow chow dog over a year ago. These canines are known for their fluffy coat and unique black tongues, a PetMD article stated. And while they're usually independent and timid around new humans, they're fiercely loyal, almost to a fault. These dogs often experience separation anxiety and attachment issues. Aaliyah always worried about her dog, Narla, and what she did while home alone, especially knowing Narla has some attachment issues. But she finally felt at ease when she installed a pet camera in their new home and could check in on Narla. "I've left her before, but I never knew if she actually settled down or not until I got the camera," she said. She shared on the TikTok account @ on June 25 what Narla did while home alone. Aaliyah pulled out the app to check the camera. Narla first stood in front of the camera, staring directly into it. Confirming she was home alone, she turned her head back and forth. To Aaliyah's surprise, Narla walked her way over to the front door and plopped down. She patiently stayed in that spot until Aaliyah returned home. "I was shocked that she actually just lay down waiting for me," Aaliyah said.

Like Aaliyah, they thought Narla was so cute for how calmly she waited, which rarely happens for dogs with attachment issues. Dogs with separation anxiety feel extremely stressed. When they're home alone, they might resort to excessive barking and howling, destroying items in the house, attempting to escape or urinating and defecating inside. To help prevent separation anxiety, Newsweek previously reported that owners try the following: do not make a big deal about leaving or returning home, give dogs breaks throughout the day without you, teach them how to self-soothe and spend quality time together, along with the breaks. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend, and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

RSPCA Newport: Two 'overlooked' dogs searching for homes
Narla and Rocco, in the care of staff at the RSPCA Newport Animal Centre, have been in care for a long time and have watched many of their furry friends leave for their new homes. Both dogs are nervous around new people, but thanks to time and some well-needed TLC, the staff and volunteers at the Hartridge Road centre have seen a significant improvement in their confidence. RSPCA behaviour and welfare advisor, Hayley Moorey, said Narla travelled nearly 100 miles from another RSPCA centre in Hampshire in the hope that a change of location would help introduce her to potential new adopters and increase the chances of finding her a new home. Ms Moorey said: "Poor Narla has not had much luck. "She was rehomed once at the previous RSPCA centre she was at, but sadly the home was not suitable for her. "Due to lack of interest, she travelled the near-100 miles to us in Newport in January, but unfortunately, we are experiencing the same problem." Although Terrier crossbreed Narla is a shy girl around new people, she has grown in confidence at the Hartridge Road centre. Ms Moorey said: "Narla builds such a strong bond with people once she's comfortable and becomes a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl. "She is really on the ball and would suit someone active, who loves training. "We really hope this National Rescue Dog Day she will find her forever home." Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Rocco went into RSPCA care in November and was at first incredibly nervous around people. Ms Moorey said: "Our lovely Rocco has come on so much since he has been with us. "It has taken some time, but Rocco has now built the trust and has gained confidence around known staff members. "He has really turned into a lovely lad." You can find out more about Narla and Rocco on their Find A Pet pages or you can contact RSPCA Newport Animal Centre via 0300 123 0744.
