Leaving your favorite person’s house is always a bummer, but a massive Newfoundland named Chewy takes post-visit sadness to a whole new level. Over on Instagram, @chewythenewfoundland shares his daily life with 240k followers, and a recent clip shows this sensitive big dog looking utterly heartbroken after saying goodbye to his beloved grandma. He literally stares out the window with the saddest puppy dog eyes ever. Fortunately, his mom knows the ultimate cure for a down-and-out pup. A quick trip to the lake for an afternoon swim completely resets his mood in seconds.
Big dog’s sad goodbye to grandma turns into pure joy the moment he goes swimming
The video opens with his grandmother waving goodbye from her front porch as the car pulls away. Mom calls out a final farewell before zooming out to show her deeply miserable passenger. Chewy sits in the front seat, looking completely crushed about leaving. His sad face is incredibly heartbreaking to see. His mom tries her best to placate him during the drive. She promises they will have a lot of fun and notes that he will see her again soon.
Fortunately, his sad mood completely vanishes the moment they arrive at their next destination. The text on the screen notes that he was made for this. Suddenly, the big dog is sprinting down a sunny wooden pier because he loves to swim almost as much as he loves to visit his grandma.
He does not hesitate for a single second at the edge and launches his fluffy body straight into the lake. This part of the video is in slow motion, so that we can see Chewy’s happy face just as well. His mom cheers excitedly that they made it while he paddles around the cool water with pure joy.
The adorable clip quickly gained over 4.3k likes from fans who adore their long-standing relationship. They have previously gone viral for wearing matching pajamas and baking homemade dog-friendly cupcakes together. One viewer commented that they love how he balances cozy grandparent behavior with classic outdoorsman energy. Another person joked that he would probably swim all the way back to Grandma’s house if he knew the directions.
