A loving and loyal dog had the sweetest reaction, seemingly left heartbroken after hearing of its owner’s upcoming vacation.

Animals are some of the best creatures you’ll ever encounter on Earth. They are so cute, loving and dependable. They are there whether you’ve had a good or a less-than-perfect day. Those furry, four-legged beings simply want attention and love from you.

In addition to being super loyal and dependable, animals are pretty smart—much smarter than most people would like to believe. They also possess a surprisingly high level of emotional intelligence. Dogs, cats and other creatures can pick up on the emotions and feelings of others, and as one clip shows, words and messages. 

An adorable YouTube video shows how one animal reacted emotionally after learning its owners were planning to head out on vacation for a few days. The sweet animal did not take the news of the trip well at all.

The short and heartbreaking clip begins with the animal completely distraught. It has just learned the news and hides from the camera, burying its face into the couch. The dog’s owner tries to console and comfort the sweet golden retriever as best she can.

“You’re going to have fun at Grandma’s, ok?” the woman tells the animal.

However, the animal hearing that it will spend some time at Grandma’s does not seem to do the trick. The dog is still bummed and sad that its favorite people in the world will be leaving it for several days.

About halfway through the clip, the dog is not sitting up and is looking forward, away from the camera. The woman behind the camera continues to comfort and console the dog, but the dog, possibly feeling betrayed, refuses to look in the woman’s direction.

What a sweet and heartbreaking reaction from an animal that obviously cares deeply for its owners.
