After his owners lost their home in a hurricane, a dog from North Carolina got to live “like a king” at his grandma’s big house for a few months. His reaction to his owner’s new, smaller place, has left internet users in stitches.
In a viral TikTok video shared in January under the username @thenotverybrights, the great Pyrenees dog, Briar, can be seen looking sad and confused as he checks out his owners’ new place, which doesn’t seem to impress him much.
“When your parents lost their house in a hurricane so you’ve been living as a king at your grandma’s and now your parents brought you to a camper where your home used to be,” reads layover text in the clip.
“I’m sorry Briar, you’re poor now!” the poster can be heard telling him, as the pup looks away, as if he’d rather go back to grandma’s.
“Briar is doing much better now but the first night was a little rough! Glad to be together again,” the caption clarifies.
Many think that big dogs are not suited for small places, but Dr. Marty Becker says in a Vet Street article that any dog, regardless of their size, can be happy pretty much anywhere, as long as their owners are committed to satisfying their daily need for exercise.
Dog trainer and canine behavior consultant Cathy Madson, says in an article posted by Preventive Vet that dogs generally need between 30 minutes to two hours of exercise every day, although exactly how much varies depending on factors like their age, size, and breed, among others.
Puppies and senior dogs usually require less exercise than adult dogs. Breeds like border collies, Siberian huskies, or Jack Russell terriers may need more exercise compared to pugs, Chihuahuas, or greyhounds,
But even dogs within the same breed may have individual preferences. Their health conditions and personality are also a big determining factor. But how do you know when your dog needs more exercise?
According to the Huntington Beach Pet Hospital, when your dog is not getting enough exercise, they may become bored, lethargic, or frustrated, which can lead to destructive behavior or aggression.
