A dog named Hudson has melted hearts all over the internet after a video of him looking for his girlfriend, hoping she'd return for summer break, went viral.
In a video shared on TikTok in March by the dog's owner, under the username Hudsonbegood, the golden retriever can be seen peaking above a fence into his neighbor's yard, trying to see if his girlfriend, Izzy, whom he sees every summer, has come back to him yet.
As he walks next to his neighbor's yard, a caption explains: "My dog has a girlfriend that lives next door during the summer. Ever since we got home he keeps looking at the fence hoping to see her."
The dog then looks over the fence, and the caption continues: "He gets up and looks just in case she's there. He's hoping she'll be here today. Still not here. Summer can't come soon enough. Izzy, please come back home." Hudsonbegood also wrote: "Can't wait for them to play in the pool again."
According to pet wellness experts Rover, though dogs don't share our notion of romantic love, they have shown love-supporting behaviors of passion and devotion. So, while your dog might not fantasize about a dinner date or marrying their other half, they can form intense, lasting bonds with other animals.
The website states: "If your dog has a 'best friend' at the dog park, or curls up on the couch with your cat, it's safe to say they're in love!"
The video quickly went viral on social media, attracting animal lovers from across the platform, and it has so far received more than 209,900 views and 14,400 likes.
