North Carolina Woman Sets Up A Camera To Check On Her Dog, But The Footage Leaves Her Stunned

Ever get that tug in your heart when you’re walking out the door and leaving your pup behind? You give them one last look, they tilt their head, and it’s like they’re silently asking, “You’re really leaving without me?”
That little moment sticks with you all day. It’s hard not to wonder what they do when we’re not home. Do they nap? Get into mischief?
Sundae’s mom, a woman from Durham, North Carolina, couldn’t help but wonder the same thing.
Sundae, a sweet senior black Lab, is her shadow: her shopping buddy, car companion, and all-around best friend.

But of course, life happens, and sometimes Sundae has to stay behind while her mom runs errands. And here’s the funny part: every single time Sundae is home alone, something odd happens.
Mom would come home to find Sundae’s dog bed full of random things like socks, shirts, ChapStick, and even shoes. It was like Sundae had built a little nest out of anything that smelled like her favorite human.
But how did all those things end up there? Was she sneaking around like a tiny, fluffy burglar?
Mom just had to find out. So she set up a little camera to catch Sundae in action.

Not long after, she had to make a quick grocery run. The perfect chance to test the camera and see what Sundae was really up to.
The moment she walked out, her phone pinged. The camera had picked up movement. Maybe Sundae was raiding the laundry basket? Or shredding paper towels across the living room?
Nope. None of that.
Sundae had quietly walked over to the door, curled up on the mat, and just… waited.

Her eyes looked soft and sad. She wasn’t barking or panicking. Just lying there like her little heart missed someone so much, she couldn’t think about anything else.
She didn’t need chaos or toys or noise. All she wanted was for her mom to come home.
Every time she adjusted her spot by the door, the phone pinged again. Each time, mom peeked at the live feed from the store, and each time, her heart cracked a little more.
She was tearing up in the grocery aisle, watching her baby girl wait.

Sundae’s moment of heartbreak by the door made its way to TikTok, and before they knew it, over two million people were falling in love with her.
But guess what? Sundae’s no one-hit wonder. She actually has a sense of style that could rival any fashion blogger’s. Yep, this pup’s got looks.
She has an entire doggie closet. Sunglasses, necklaces, wigs, you name it. Her outfits are hilarious, sassy, and adorable.
She walks around proudly in her outfits and makes people smile on TikTok with her cute clothes and fun personality.

So next time you’re grabbing your keys and heading out the door, take a moment to think about what your pet might be doing while you’re gone.
They might not understand where you’re going or how long you’ll be away, but they do know one thing: they miss you.
To us, it’s just a quick errand. But to them, it’s a little stretch of time without their favorite person.
And when you walk back through that door? That tail wag, that happy bark, or soft purr, it’s pure love.
