Dogs can also suffer from separation anxiety that makes matters even worse.

Experts helped a couple, Nancy and Alex, to set up cameras in their home to see what their dog did all day while they were at work.

Not expecting anything exciting, except maybe a magazine or something else being chewed up because he was mad they were gone, they waited to see the footage.

And when they saw what their beloved dog, Max did all day, their hearts shattered.

The lonely pup cried the entire day. He would howl and wail; he was just miserable. He wouldn’t stop until he heard the turn of the doorknob and his family was home.

Professor Daniel Mills viewed the footage and gave Alex and Nancy some pointers to help little Max out.

He suggested that they give him toys to keep him company, for instance. Maybe that’d help.

He also suggested that they leave him for shorter periods of time, so he will better adjust to them being gone during the workweek.

Working with Max helped, though he still sometimes has a twang or two of separation anxiety. It’ll take some time but he’ll get better, we’re sure of it!

Watch the heartwrenching video of what dogs with separation anxiety do when left alone.

You can see why it broke their hearts…

Our dogs get the most pitiful looks on their faces, like we’re about to say goodbye forever!

Of course, most get over it but some suffer separation anxiety so badly that they have to be put on medication.

Most of the time there’s a good reason for their emotional distress, and it happens a lot to shelter dogs.

That’s what happened to this beautiful pup named Lubu. His new owner, Gabriel Nadler, described Lubu’s past before he adopted him.

“Apparently whoever had him as a puppy moved houses and just left him behind.

Then he bounced around a lot between fosters and different shelters.”

Gabriel couldn’t resist Lubu’s precious eyes and immediately took him home, at this time not knowing about his severe separation anxiety.

How could he have guessed that poor Lubu suffered from a hidden problem?

But it didn’t take long to figure it out when Lubu threw a fit anytime he tried to leave home.

She was always so sad and so upset; it was truly heartbreaking to see!

But thankfully, for the first time in Lubu’s life, the feeling was actually mutual…

As it turns out, Gabriel didn’t want to be away from Lubu for even one minute, either, so he made an important decision:

Why not just take Lubu along? Why leave her at home at all?

Gabriel is in a fortunate situation because he is a hip-hop artist, as well an activist, and he is able to take Lubu to work with him every day.

He said that Lubu inspires him; she even has a few cameos in his videos!

Gabriel gets a little help keeping Lubu company from his girlfriend and some of the other dogs in the neighborhood as well.

This way, on the rare occasions when Gabriel can’t take his faithful companion with him, Lubu always has an option.

Seems like absolutely everyone wants to be Lubu’s friend all of a sudden!

His simple answer is this:

“Skip the separation — and smother a rescue dog in all the love nearly missed in this life. A dog will always pay it back in spades.”

“I often look at him and think, no matter how much debt I have.

This dog makes me feel like a billionaire just by hanging around him.”

What a lucky pup.
