A video of a golden retriever appearing puzzled by the voice of his owner heard through a home security video camera has actually gone viral on TikTok.
The clip was posted on August 4 by Rachel Bowers (called @rachmobow on TikTok) and had 1.3 million views at the time of composing.
The video appears to reveal video from a Ring security video camera. As a voice is later on heard in the background, the dog is seen with his face near the video camera, tilting his head and looking with a relatively baffled appearance. A message overlaid on the clip checks out: “We’ve never ever talked to him through the video camera.”
A caption shown the post says: “Idc [I don’t care] if you believe this is as charming as I do. I simply like my good-looking boy!!”
The dog’s fixation on the video camera in the viral video makes good sense due to the fact that our canine buddies have the ability to acknowledge their owners utilizing singing hints.
A February 2022 study in Animal Cognition discovered that “dogs can determine their owner based upon singing hints of identity.”
The research study’s findings revealed that “dogs utilize some however most likely not all acoustic hints that human beings utilize to determine familiar speakers.”
The research study kept in mind: “Although dogs can identify great modifications in speech, their affective system might not be completely attuned to identity-diagnostic hints in the human voice.”
The video in the viral TikTok clip starts with a view of what seems a living-room, with sofas and the tv on.
As a voice in the clip says what appears to seem like “Hawk,” the dog approaches the video camera, putting its nose up versus the lens.
As the dog goes out of the frame of the video camera into another part of the room, giggling is heard in the background as another voice says: “Bubba…you much better avoid of there.”
As the other voice says “Hawk,” the dog comes back and the voice says: “Hey friend.”
The dog’s snout is seen right up versus the lens once again as more laughter is heard in the background.
As the voice continues to state “Hey bubba,” the puppy is seen slanted his head to one side while looking at the video camera.
The dog then leaves prior to reversing to recall at the video camera as a voice says: “Where you at, where you going?”
After staying frozen in position for a bit, the canine is seen walking far from the video camera towards the opposite end of the room, as the voice says “come here” prior to the video ends.
TikTokers were entertained by the dog’s response in the viral post.
User yeseniamolina444 composed: “He’s like I’m hearing voices in my head.”
User @kaitlynessary said: “this is the prettiest thing ever! the head tilt and whatever.”
