On Douyin, a platform from China, many dog lovers were touched after watching the video, which captured the hearts of many with the dog’s incredible loyalty.
A dog’s devotion to its owner is truly heartwarming.
This is the story of Pi Dan, a one-year-old border collie from China, who patiently waited by the window for ten hours while his owner, Ms. Zhang, was at work.
Pi Dan spent an entire day waiting for his owner
Security footage captured Pi Dan, also called ‘Naughty,’ as he lay by the window.
He was seen staring outside from morning until night. From 7:30 a.m., Pi Dan quietly watched Ms.
Zhang left the apartment block for work.
Pi Dan stayed in the same spot all day, gazing into the distance as if longing for her return.
At 5:40 p.m., after ten long hours, Pi Dan finally spotted Ms. Zhang coming home.
He immediately leaped off the bed and rushed to the door, bursting with excitement.
As she opened the door, the loyal dog jumped up and down in joy, greeting her with pure happiness.
Ms. Zhang’s emotional reaction
Seeing the footage of her faithful Pi Dan waiting for her stirred deep emotions in Ms. Zhang.
“It broke my heart,” she admitted, expressing the difficulty of balancing her job with spending time with Pi Dan.
Working a typical nine-to-five schedule, she found stability in her job, but it kept her away from her beloved pet during the day.
Ms. Zhang shared her efforts to make it up to Pi Dan by taking him out to play on weekends and holidays.
However, she revealed that she had considered getting another dog but worried it might add to her guilt.
She said: ‘I try my best to take him everywhere to play during weekends and holidays. I also considered keeping another dog, but I was worried that they would both wait for me. I would be even more heart-broken.’

The video quickly went viral and sparked feelings of guilt among dog owners.
A Ms. Zhang posted the security footage on Douyin, a platform similar to TikTok.
In the comment selection, many pet owners resonated with her feelings.
Additionally, others expressed similar feelings of guilt as well.
One person said: Shouldn’t keep an animal cooped up like that for hours and hours…….they really do suffer.
A second wrote: Here’s a crazy idea, don’t get a collie if you work a 9-5??? Nothing short of cruelty.
While a third commented: Get a dog walker at least so the dog can go out for a bit during the day. I couldn’t do this to my dog. What kind of life is that?
Another added: Cruel to keep a Collie with those working hours. A very selfish not very bright owner , a sad story DM.
This shared sense of guilt highlighted the emotional bonds between dogs and their owners.
