The sob story that two dogs put on while their owner left was captured on video, leaving viewers in stitches.
Brother and sister doggy duo Lenny and Barbara are accustomed to having their owner at home with them 24/7 since she works from home, the owner told Newsweek. But no owner can stay inside with their dogs at all times of the day, no matter how much canines might beg and plead. There are errands to be run or groceries to be bought that don't include a fur baby tagging along.
Lenny and Barbara didn't see it that way in a May 26 TikTok video posted to the account @lennyandbarbara1723. In their minds, their owner left the house without them and even though it was a quick outing, being home alone was enough to make them pull out the sympathy card.

The bulldog and American bully sat on the single chair together where they were directly in view of the pet camera. They put on the saddest faces imaginable. Frowns taking over their faces and eyes watering, the dogs mastered the look that would make anyone break into a million pieces. They knew doing this would make their owner feel bad for leaving them at home.
The caption reads: "Lenny and Babs acting like a RSPCA advert because I had to go out."

The owner told Newsweek that the two of them normally will sleep, but that's because they're used to her working from home and constantly being around.

"...they aren't left often so they do guilt trip me every time," the owner said.
Luckily, it is nothing more than a silent guilt trip from these two canines. Some dogs don't hesitate to show their owners how they feel when left at home. One owner discovered his dog howls to his heart's content, begging for the return of his human while a puppy left a "trail of destruction" in the home.
TikToker Reactions
The hilarious TikTok clip reached over 14,600 views and 1,446 likes as of Tuesday with viewers demanding the owner return to these doggos.
"Get home IMMEDIATELY," said a user, while a second person asked: "Poor bubbas how dare u leave them like that?"
Another suggested: "Oh mummy you need to reward them for being such a good actors lol. They both r wee besties."
