Every day after work, a pet parent came home to find his bed and pillows in disarray, with his shorts mysteriously placed on the bed. Determined to uncover what was going on, he set up a hidden camera—and what he discovered was both surprising and heartwarming.
After reviewing the footage, the mystery was solved: the culprit was none other than his loyal dog. Missing his dad, the dog grabbed a piece of clothing—his shorts—to have something with his scent close by. Many viewers were moved by the video, noting that the dog was comforted by his dad’s scent and curling up on the bed to feel closer to him.
