A cute video is winning over pet lovers after capturing a dog’s quiet moment following a chaotic kids’ school drop-off. Shared by San Diego–based creator Michelle D. (@mishlove), the clip perfectly sums up how even dogs feel the shift when a house goes from loud and lively to suddenly silent.
Dog needs an emotional support car ride back home after kids drop off
The video shows the dog sitting calmly in the car as the noise of the morning fades away. After kids are dropped off at school, the pup appears to need a few moments and a car ride to emotionally recover from the whirlwind that just ended. In the clip, the dog rides home with Michelle, processing the sudden calm after the kids leave. The text overlay reads: “The moment of silence and emotional support ride home after the morning storm of kids drop off.” The pup sits quietly, soaking in the stillness and leaning into the comfort of being close to their owner. The caption sums up the feeling bluntly and humorously: “Because wtf was that.”
Viewers quickly flooded the comments with relatable reactions. One user joked, “That dog has seen some things.” Another wrote, “OMG. I love her. Hold my hand mom.” One viewer shared a similar experience, saying, “That’s our boxer on our way to pick him up. She misses our son all day.” Another added, “This is the sweetest! I think we all feel and need this from time to time!” One fan summed it up: “I love this! Besties!”
