When this clip opens, we see a very large, very miserable Newfoundland sitting in the front seat of a car, refusing to even look at his mom. The star of @chewythenewfoundland, who has 172K followers, is currently going through a massive guilt trip. This dog is usually full of life, but today he is heading on vacation without his favorite person. This video shows the dog leaving for the beach while his grandma stays home, and he is not happy about it at all.
Dog refuses to say goodbye to grandma in adorable video
The video opens with Chewy sitting quietly in the passenger seat of the car. The big dog looks unusually serious, almost sulky. The on-screen text says leaving loved ones is the worst part of vacation, and this sweet Newfoundland is personifying that emotion. His mom is trying her best to cheer him up. She ruffles his thick fur and speaks in a soothing voice, but he just stares around listlessly.
Moreover, his grandma is standing right outside the car window and is also trying to make him feel happy about this beach trip. However, he just lowers his eyes and doesn’t even acknowledge her. It’s like he’s trying to ignore the entire situation so it isn’t real. Mom keeps trying to sell him on the idea of fun. She mentions the ocean and swimming. But he just hits her with a world-class side eye. He is definitely not impressed by the beach right now.
Then he looks out at his grandma standing in the walkway with her cane. She waves at him. He immediately looks down and away. It is like the sight is just too painful for him to handle. His heart is clearly breaking.
Over 6.4K people have liked the video because the sadness is so moving. One viewer said they can hear him speaking “loud and clear” without saying a word. Another fan worried about who would look after grandma while he’s gone. He’ll probably spend the whole drive being a dramatic passenger, but he knows they will be reunited soon enough.
