Woman returns to dog left home alone—what she finds leaves her sobbing

A 5-month-old puppy with a case of separation anxiety left an owner sobbing in horror with what she discovered after returning home.

Shanna White, also known on TikTok as @theregoshan1, has a red-nosed pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy named Ja’Dioree Scarlett, whom she’s owned since the dog was only 5 weeks old. Ja’Dioree Scarlett, like many dogs, experiences separation anxiety when alone.

Dogs with separation anxiety become extremely stressed and anxious, often causing them to become destructive. However, White said her puppy has never shown signs of being stressed while home alone. Ja’Dioree Scarlett never ruined the house. But White recently came home to a surprising scene after being gone for about an hour.

She returned home to discover seemingly every last inch of the place destroyed. The blinds were chewed off. Items were thrown around. Pee on the bed. It became a headache for White after she was already under a lot of stress. She said this situation made it “worse.”

In her June 17 TikTok video, White walked around her home revealing more and more damage. She wrote in the caption that her pup “ate” her home. She cried in disbelief, wondering what had happened to her house after leaving it pristine and her pup calmly relaxing.

“I know she has separation anxiety, but I didn’t know she was that smart to open my room door,” White said. “The only thing going through my mind was my house and how would I pay for all of it.”

Within three days of posting, the TikTok video reached over 1.2 million views and 105,000 likes. Viewers were left speechless over this dog’s “field day.”

“She had a funky good time,” wrote one person.

Another added: “Peeing on my bed would’ve sent me over the edge.”

However, several users flooded the comment section with their concerns about this pup’s behavior. They ridiculed the owner: “I blame you cause why you left that toddler out.”

Pet parents are often divided on whether or not to crate train. Proponents argue crates provide dogs a safe space to go when they’re feeling stressed, scared or tired. It keeps them out of trouble. But others will say it creates unwanted emotional stress, especially when left for extended periods of time.
