Grandparents are known for their over-the-top spoiling, whether it is grandkids or grand-dogs getting the VIP treatment. However, while the visits are all fun and treats, coming back home can be a rude awakening. One viral Instagram video captures exactly this, showing a dog’s comically unamused reaction after returning home from a two-month stay at grandma’s.
Instagram video shows dog not ‘happy’ after coming back home from grandma’s
Shared by Instagram user @oneisius, the video shows what it’s like when the fun ends and responsibility returns. The clip starts with the text: “My son has been with his grandparents for almost 2 months. I just got him back this morning and well… he’s not happy.”
Sitting silently in the car, the dog, named Sydney, is clearly not thrilled to be back. His expression says it all — cold side-eye, stiff posture, and an unmistakable aura of disappointment. The owner is heard chuckling in the background, trying to lighten the mood by asking, “Sydney, are you mad at me?” But Sydney doesn’t budge — his face is all business, and apparently, business was better at Grandma’s.
It’s not hard to imagine what kind of luxury Sydney experienced during his extended stay. Endless treats, cuddles, maybe even table scraps, and none of that “sit before you get your snack” nonsense.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of Sydney’s dramatic attitude and took to the comments to share their amusement. “Two months of grandma-level spoiling and now you want me to sit before snacks? Be serious!!!!” one person joked. Another wrote, “Go away bruh, I moved on from u months ago,” imagining what Sydney might be thinking. A third chimed in, “He’s like, take me back.”
Sydney’s priceless reaction has become the unofficial face of post-grandma blues. It seems dogs, much like humans, know exactly where the good life is, and they’re not shy about expressing their disappointment when it ends.
