Hey, guys.
So take a look at this video.

This was uploaded 
three days ago.

And it has almost 
5 million views.

Man, that dog 
wants to get out of it.

So many questions arise.

Why does that dog 
want to get out of there?

And why are the windows 
boarded up?

Hm... Is this an episode 
of Breaking Bad

Help me figure out 
this mystery?

I decided to go around 
the office

to see what other 
people think.

Ok. Average dog.

where is he going?

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[Laugh]

I would not trust that
dog alone in my apartment.

Dude, that is 
a desperate dog.

Oh, no. 
[Laugh]

I don't know 
what's out there

Or is he trying to go for a snack?

Ouh... is his head stuck?

He's struggling too hard.

It's not going to happen.

Why do you think 
he was trying to escape?

It's the animal outside.
It's probably a cat outside.

So you think it was after 
something back there?

Yeah, there's definitely 
something back there.

Like, I don't know, 
some food leftovers.

The owner 
hid something,

Like a steak back there.

Like clearly
he was so driven,

Like, oh, 
there's something I need.

Or maybe 
it's like Homeward Bound,

like that movie.

He's trying 
to get back to his owner,

Actually, because of 
separation anxiety.

Ouh...

Poor, right there

I actually heard 
that even when

An owner leaves just to 
go to the grocery store,

Dogs think that 
they're leaving forever,

so they freak out.

Good job, puppy.
you good

Have you ever wondered 
why your pet

chews up everything 
and makes a mess?

.......

Well, it could be because 
you didn't train it,

Or it could be because 
it just misses you.

This is called 
separation anxiety,

and this dog has it 
pretty bad.

Did you read
the comments on this video?

A lot of people are saying,

"Is this animal cruelty?"

"Why does he board up 
his window?"

.......

Well, if you read 
the description,

Andrew Hols Burger said,
The dog's name is Bandit,

And he has severe 
separation anxiety,

To the point where 
he destroys carpets,

chews wires, and 
cuts himself

trying to get out of 
his crate.

According to the ASPCA, 
there are moderate

to severe cases of 
separation anxiety.

These may require a 
more complex solution.

So, they came up with 
a two-step program.

Step one: pre-departure cues.

When you grab 
your keys,

Does your dog start 
pacing back and forth?

It's probably because it

Thinks you're 
going to leave.

So grab your keys and 
show your dog that,

Even though you have 
your keys in hand,

It doesn't mean 
you're leaving.

You can sit down and 
relax for a little bit.

This will reduce 
the dog's

separation anxiety.

Step two:

Graduate departures 
and absences.

Teach your dog that 
being alone is okay.

Maybe leave it 
in the living room

while you go 
into the bedroom.

In a few minutes, 
come back and say,

"Hey, I'm still here."

Being alone is not 
the end of the world.

If you have a dog or

know someone 
with a dog

with severe 
separation anxiety,

let them know, and 
show them this video.

Let's fix it!

All right, that's it
