UK - "I'm not joking, I cried when I saw that on the video," admits Olivia Bamford in the comments on her TikTok clip. But it wasn't just the golden retriever owner from the UK who was heartbroken by the recording. The TikTok audience also sobbed along with her.

The "evidence" was recorded with a pet camera. Bamford set it up in her apartment to keep an eye on her golden retriever Joey, even when she's not at home.

The clip has been causing a stir on TikTok since the beginning of the week. Because Joey's master shows his most ignorant side in it. When the young man comes into the room, he doesn't give the seven-month-old dog a second glance.

While Joey is on fire, wagging his tail and looking longingly at his master, he turns his back on him and doesn't even seem to notice the male dog.

Joey then fetches his stuffed animal and wants to show it to the Brit. But he is busy in the kitchen. The golden retriever finally drops it and retreats with his tail hanging down.

What was going on?

Bamford has now defused the story to Newsweek .

"We were just about to go to bed after letting him out and playing with him. Dad made himself another cup of tea and didn't realize that Joey was upset because he had just put him to bed," the British woman explained.

She herself had seen what was happening live in the room upstairs and confronted her boyfriend when he came back to her. He then ran downstairs in horror to cuddle Joey.

In the end, it was half as bad. Instead, the mistress can now enjoy a viral hit. The video has reached 2.4 million clicks within five days, plus more than 240,000 likes.
