The dog cries after all his friends go in when he comes out to play
A social media video of a dog feeling left out by the other puppies playing on his street has touched hearts online.
The The adorable video was first shared on TikTok on October 26th by @micaandbenji. In the footage, Benji the Great Pyrenees is seen running outside to join the other dogs playing freely on his street, only to see them turn away from him.
The video’s creator shared in the post that the pup had been watching “all the dogs on the block” running around and then stopped playing when they saw him. The poster added that Benji had to look around for the other dogs alone and smell their scents.
“Benji was looking for the dogs that were playing outside,” said Benji’s owner, who did not want to be named Newsweek.
“When my neighbors saw him coming towards them, they all left with their dogs and Benji looked for them. Benji loves playing with dogs and is the nicest dog, but people are afraid of him because of his size,” the owner added.
