Have you ever tried sitting with your pet after a stressful day and talking it all out? As strange as it may sound, our furry friends can often understand what we say and feel, even if they don’t speak the same language. This viral TikTok video of Lexi the Labrador proved that dogs can be good listeners, especially after her owner shares a fun family update with the good girl. Lexi tilted her head from one side to the other as she showed her mom she was with her throughout their conversation. Commenters praised the pooch for her “active” listening skills while she shared the moment with her mamma.
Dog reacts to owner informing her of a good and a bad news in viral video
Lexi’s reaction to her mom sharing good and bad news with her showed exactly how much she understands her hoomans. The viral video captured the dog’s heartwarming reaction after actively listening to her mom’s family update. The clip started with the paw-some duo sitting down for the conversation, and the pooch appeared highly engaged from the start as her owner told her that they “gotta talk” about some good and bad news. The dog mom then asked her. “What news do you want first?”
Throughout the duration of their talk, the Labrador sincerely listened to her owner, who shared the bad news first. “Well the bad news is the kids are going back to school today,” Lexi’s mom told her, but assured the dog that they could still pick them up and hang out. Then came the good news, which was also about the kids’ return to school. “That means every single morning, you get to come with mommy to take the kids to school, that means you get to go for a ride with your mama,” the owner told the pooch.
In the viral video, the dog moved her head from one side to the other after every sentence, showing that she had been listening to her mom and paid full attention. It appeared that “ride” was Lexi’s favorite word — similar to how often our furry friends love the words “walks” and “drives” — and as the owner repeated, the pooch ecstatically hugged her. Evidently “happy,” the pup embraced her mama, and the following clip showed them taking a car ride together. Commenters praised Lexi for being an “active listener,” especially her acknowledging with head tilts, which stole the show.
