It’s a scientifically proven fact that dogs love you. Yes, you!
It’s also known that dogs experience homesickness whenever we’re away for too long. Oof, ouch, you hear that? That’s the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces.

But you know what’s incredibly healing? Seeing people utilize apps like FaceTime to chat with their furry friends. Finally, a near perfect use of smartphone technology. Below are some examples of the most uplifting interactions between humans and dogs over video call.
1. A couple of good boys right here
2. Omw to steal your girl
3. Look at all the love in her eyes!
4. Patience is a virtue
5. A real family man
6. Oh no, my heart
7. Even celebs FaceTime their doggos
8. Don’t worry girl, she’ll be back soon

While these interactions are peak Wholesome Content™, don’t blame your pup if they’re unresponsive over the phone — scientists say that dogs have a harder time recognizing their owners’ faces over small screens.
A dog’s sensory input is also much more attuned to your scent and tone of voice than visual images. According to a HuffPost article, dogs also process visuals 25 percent faster than humans. So when Fido looks at the screen, they may only be seeing a jerky, fuzzy picture of your face.
That shouldn’t stop you from FaceTiming your pet if you want to see their beautiful face, though. If you’re worried about your best bud being homesick, know that if they can hear your voice, they most likely know it’s you.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in the corner, crying over all the love dogs have in their hearts for us.
