But a YouTube user who goes by the name Mike the Intern decided to [investigate this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=O%5FJ-XwrYSzw) by strapping a GoPro to his Goldendoodle to see what he does all day. Unfortunately, the results are really quite upsetting. As soon as Mike leaves, the pooch gets incredibly anxious, staring at the door for a while before moving to the window and then back to the door. He yelps and howls as he paces around the rest of the house. Beware: if you have a pet, you may never want to leave them alone again. Better start queueing up Seamless. ### See Adorable Puppies Shaking Their Fur  Annie - 7 weeks, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Carli Davidson  Annie - 7 weeks, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Carli Davidson  Koda - 20 weeks, Pomeranian Carli Davidson  Koda - 20 weeks, Pomeranian Carli Davidson  Hans - 12 weeks, Boxer Pit Mix Carli Davidson  Hans - 12 weeks, Boxer Pit Mix Carli Davidson  Cloud - 8 weeks, Shar Pei Carli Davidson  Cloud - 8 weeks, Shar Pei Carli Davidson  Josie - 12 weeks, Boxer Carli Davidson  Josie - 12 weeks, Boxer Carli Davidson  Meatball - 10 weeks, Pit Bull Carli Davidson  Meatball - 10 weeks, Pit Bull Carli Davidson  Vincent - 8 weeks, Dachshund Carli Davidson  Vincent - 8 weeks, Dachshund Carli Davidson ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3648980/go-pro-video-dog-home-alone/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3648980/go-pro-video-dog-home-alone/"},"headline":"This Video of a Dog at Home Without His Owner May Break Your Heart","datePublished":"2014-12-29T22:21:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:48:13.593Z","description":"Warning, pet owners: you're never going to want to leave the house again","url":"https://time.com/3648980/go-pro-video-dog-home-alone/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta6bb1453984dae7c/69877778f887dcbcfee89405/dog-anxiety.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta6bb1453984dae7c/69877778f887dcbcfee89405/dog-anxiety.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Boots at the window","caption":"Boots at the window","creditText":"Christopher Drost—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3648980/go-pro-video-dog-home-alone/","name":"This Video of a Dog at Home Without His Owner May Break Your Heart"}}]}] ```
