The adorable pet cam footage showing what a Bernesedoodle named Rio was doing while his owner was at work has melted hearts online.
Many dog owners check their pet cams while they’re out and quickly wish they hadn’t. They’re often greeted with the sight of their mischievous pup climbing onto furniture or causing destruction while unattended. But not Rio, who was seen enjoying a far more relaxed day.
The pet cam showed Rio lying on the floor, directly in front of the television, watching it intently. He even appeared to be smiling and was certainly enjoying the show.
The footage, shared on the dog’s dedicated TikTok account, suggests that the audio from the TV can make Rio feel like he has company, which helps reduce the stress and anxiety of being left alone.
Interestingly, while vision isn’t their strongest sense, dogs may even be able to see certain aspects of a TV show. Dogs perceive images differently and have a color perception distinct from humans—they can only see blues, greens, and yellows. According to PetMD, canine vision is closer to 20/75, which might explain why they often sit quite close to the screen.
Of course, not all dogs will be interested in watching TV. Sight capacity varies depending on the breed, so certain pups tend to be more engaged than others.
### TikTok Users React
Since Rio’s owner shared the footage of what he gets up to when alone, hundreds of TikTok users have taken to the comments section to praise the adorable pup.
One user wrote:
“Ok this is ADORABLE. We love Bluey.”
Another posted:
“And here I thought my dog was the only one watching Bluey when I’m not home.”
A third commented:
“This is so cute, all my dog does is chew my shoes!”
And a fourth added:
“I love how Bluey has become every species’ comfort show lol, it’s so cute.”
Rio’s relaxed and happy TV-watching moment has clearly brightened the days of many pet lovers online.
