If you’ve ever had a golden retriever in your life, you already know they are one of the most adorable and lovable dogs out there. They love being around people but if you aren’t around, they might not be quite as happy.

Some dogs just have a difficult time being alone and they might even suffer from separation anxiety. That seems to be the case with Cooper.

When his human mom, Amber, heard Cooper howling at the front door, she wondered what was happening. She quietly went to the railing at the top of the stairs so she didn’t disturb the dog.

Amber also was shooting a video, just in case Cooper was alerting her to something. As it turned out, all the dog was doing was howling out of sheer loneliness.

Have you ever wondered what your dog does when you aren’t at home? Some are going to go take a nap but it seems like Cooper is going to pine away, howling at the door until his mom gets home.

The problem was, Amber was home but her beloved dog didn’t realize it. As the video is rolling, you can see the dog howling time after time, crying because he misses his mom so much.

Suddenly, Cooper looks up long enough to see his human mom standing there looking at him. When he sees her, the look on his face is absolutely priceless.

Amber wrote: “I don’t think he realized I was home.” She then added: “Well… until he saw me, lol.”
