Video Of Pet Dog Busy Watching Show On Phone Is Weekend Goals

Needless to say, smartphone addiction is becoming common across all age groups. Even toddlers depend on smartphones for entertainment. Interestingly, now a video is going viral that shows a Golden Retriever puppy seemingly engrossed in a show playing on a smartphone. An undated video shows the pup lying on its back in a bed and watching a show on a mobile phone that was held on a phone stand.

It is unclear whether the puppy was engrossed in the phone or the video was staged to look like that. However, regardless it makes for a very entertaining clip. It has so far gathered over 94 lakh likes on Instagram, with many joking that the young pooch has also become a smartphone addict.

Commenting on it, an Instagram user wrote, “Mobile phones first ruined humans and now dogs.” Another person joked, “The other day my dog skipped an Ad.” Someone joked, “So this is what reincarnation looks like if you came back as a puppy!” “Even animals are glued to their phone too. I don’t blame you buddy same here,” remarked another one.

In January 2023, an undated video that showed a group of monkeys mesmerised by a smartphone and navigating the touchscreen went viral. It was posted on X by business tycoon Harsh Goenka on Monday. While sharing this clip, Goenka wrote, “Digital literacy for all….”

Commenting on this, an X user wrote, “Look how intuitive they are. Seems as if they know how touch screens work. Isn’t that amazing ”. Another person commented, “Hence proved ! They are our ancestors.”

Previously, in 2019, a pet monkey in China made headlines after the monkey used the owner’s phone to order groceries from an app. The monkey’s owner Lv Mengmeng, who worked at the Yancheng Wild Animal World in Changzhou China, was shocked when she found that an order had been placed via her phone. After she checked the CCTV footage, she realised it was done by her pet monkey.

In 2018, ABC News reported that pet dogs may become anxious and depressed when their caretakers ignore the pets by overusing phones. Dr. Alexander Collada, a veterinarian told ABC News, “Dogs do read body language, they read our eye contact, and they read our facial expressions. So if we are on our phone and acting disinterested, and they’re looking for attention, it basically is ignoring your dog.”
