Viral Moment Woman Arrives Home Late And Finds Stern Dog Waiting Behind The Door

This is the viral moment a woman arrives home late from work and finds her dog standing behind the door with a stern look on its face.

The cute scene was filmed in the city of Nantong in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu on 17th October.

The female owner, name not reported, shared the video on the Chinese social network Douyin where it has gone viral with over 200,000 ‘likes’ and over 11,000 comments.

The dog owner, called ‘Xiaonan Maple Duck’ on Douyin, also known in many countries as TikTok, said she arrived home late from work that day.

Apparently expecting to find her loving dog waiting for her, she filmed the moment she opened the front door and was instantly greeted by the pooch standing right at the entrance.

In the video, the dog is seen staring intently at its owner with an apparently grumpy expression on its face.

However, the wagging tail gives the dog away, and it seems to indicate that secretly the dog is happy at seeing its owner despite the stern look.

The owner said that she felt both sadness and warmth in her heart when encountering her beloved pooch after arriving home late, with the serious-looking animal possibly hungry for its dinner.

It was reported that the dog's world was soon put to rights when the lights were switched on in the darkened room, the disapproving pooch was given a good feed, and it also got taken for a good walk by its amused owner to make up for the longer than expected wait.
