I’ve always found it difficult to be away for too long without seeing my dog and cat, which is why I keep a plethora of their pictures on my phone. I think this is a sentiment shared by many pet owners, as it’s almost certain our furry friends miss us just as much.
In fact, they can become quite anxious when we’re not around, at times exhibiting signs of annoyance towards our absence. Such was the case for Madelyn, who returned home after a month away to a rather unexpected surprise.
Beneli’s Grudge
Upon her return to Alaska after a month away, Beneli greeted Madelyn warmly at first, but then seemed to recall how long he had been without his friend. As someone who spent nearly every day with him, Madelyn shared a profoundly special bond with Beneli. During her time visiting her friend in Idaho, the two were sadly separated.
Beneli, feeling sad his friend was absent for an entire month, became distant and refused to acknowledge Madelyn. In a clip she recorded, she called out to him, but Beneli remained unresponsive. Despite his initial upset, dogs are known not to truly hold grudges for long, and soon Beneli relaxed, and their friendship was rekindled.

Despite the initial drama, Madelyn found the entire episode to be quite amusing and shared Beneli’s reaction on TikTok, where it went viral. Many viewers were intrigued by Beneli’s behavior, leaving comments that reflected their surprise. One user remarked, “He’s like, can someone please tell her I’m not speaking to her?” while another added, “And you can tell he’s doing it on purpose. Lol, dogs are so dramatic.” I must admit, I never realized how dramatic dogs could be until I witnessed situations like this.
In conclusion, one comment wisely noted, “I love when dogs get mad because you can tell they have to work hard at it.” This speaks to the lovable nature of dogs; even when they’re upset, it’s hard for them to truly hold a grudge. They eagerly look forward to playtime and cuddles. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation as Madelyn, try to cheer them up with positive reinforcement—it generally yields excellent results. Madelyn managed to smooth things over with Beneli, and their friendship was rekindled, which is truly heartwarming.
