Standard poodle ‘Daniel’ reportedly never wants to be separated from his mom
When he can’t see his mom even for a second
he changes suddenly and howls, showing extreme anxiety
Will Daniel’s obsession with his mom be able to be put to a stop?
An eye-catching dog is spotted as soon as we enter the house
Guardian: His name is Daniel…
The star of today is Daniel, the youngest and the cutest in the house
Guardian: Daniel, have you been well? Awwie, you love it. You love it. Aww~
The lady says she finds it fun and happy to raise the youngest Daniel because he’s a big charmer
Guardian: He’s a charmer, that fella
Producer: Oh, really? Guardian: He’s the apple of my eye at those times…
He’s so huge but plays like a little baby. He plays so well with a plushy by himself
Seizing the opportunity, the lady steps out quietly
She then starts to get through her chores that’s been put off
But then…
Daniel gets up suddenly and runs outside
He looks around, flushed
What is he looking for to look so rushed? He seems so insecure
And as if he realized something, he starts to rush towards the rooftop without hesitating
Guardian: I mean, how did you get here again?!
Guardian: Why do you follow me around so much, huh? You rascal
She says Daniel never lets her be a second or a minute away from him
Thanks to that,
it’s been 2 months already since she’s had him shadow her everywhere like her shadow
Worried that she’ll run away again
Daniel starts to stand on guard next to the lady
Guardian: Ugh, he literally follows me everywhere whether it’s the kitchen or else. He won’t let me work
His obsession is carefree of time and place
He even follows her to the restroom door and waits for her to come out..!
Guardian: Oh my, you little one. I can’t even use the restroom in peace because of you.
She tries to escape to her room, trying to get away from him
Guardian: He’s right here, in front of the door…
Daniel’s guarding in front of the door without a hitch
Guardian: I can only go out after giving him some dog chew and stuff like that
Then right when I lock the door, he gets all fussy
The lady’s been imprisoned in a barless prison at the age of 60
Daniel shows his determinedness not to move a muscle until the lady comes out the door
But, right at that moment!
Daniel gets up, startled by the sound of something falling
Perhaps he sensed something’s wrong..?
Meanwhile, the lady attempts the Shawshank Redemption secretly
She finally succeeded escaping her house with discreet yet bold moves
Daniel realized later on that she has disappeared
He starts to howl with resentment
Daniel opens the window with all his strength with his nose
He can’t suppress the boilng anger
and eventually starts to rip out the screen
Daniel exerts monstrous energy with the determination to chase after the lady
Eventually, he rips the screen and sets out to look for the lady
Where he headed first is the rooftop where the lady stayed often
But, he can’t find any traces of her there
Daniel is in a rush
He goes out the door without hesitating..!
Producer: Hey, hey, come here!
Then, he stops abruptly and focuses his senses in his nose
Perhaps he’s trying to find his mom by tracing her scent?
He closes the distance by tracing after her with his nose and guts
Producer: Daniel!!!
He finally found the lady!
Guardian: How on earth did you get here?! Huh? You punk! Huh?
Producer: Wow, he finds you like a cop
Guardian: Yeah, he does. How did you get out? Like this?
She’s scared of his obsession, but more than that, she’s curious about how he escaped
She has sensed something has gone wrong…
Horrible traces of his escape…
Guardian: Daniel! Come here
Daniel, come here. Come here. Sit! Righto
In an instant, Daniel reads the room and starts to act
Guardian: Huh? I told you, you can’t do this. This!
Don’t act like you’re sleeping! Look at you pretending like you can’t hear You want me to hug you?
Wow, he asks me to hug him when he’s at fault now
It was 2 months ago when his obsession with his mom began
Guardian: There was a Shih Tzu name Tommy
and I think it worsened after that fella passed away
Daniel and Tommy were besties
Tommy was like the mom figure to Daniel who was mischievous
Then one day, Tommy crossed over the rainbow bridge due to age
Perhaps Tommy’s void was too big?
Daniel has been extremely fearful of being left alone
Guardian: This is the neighborhood, so it’s okay but, the roadside and other places are really dangerous…
As much as Daniel’s obsession worsens, mom’s concerns increase
Animal Behaviorist: We have to think about where Daniels feels the most secure mentally. And that’s home for him.
Daniel thinks that being right next to his mom itself is home
Daniel needs a new space that will make him feel secured
Animal Behaviorist: Fellas that have a separation anxiety disorder tend to observe their guardian all day. So, when they can’t see
their guardian, they become anxious and restless
So, rather than visual pattern, it’s better to change it to a smelling pattern
Animal Behaviorist: What we have prepared to resolve Daniels’ separation anxiety is
alright, first, this is the cushion-house for Daniel
Animal Behaviorist: Here, you can hide snacks in the cushion
There are little gaps here, right?
He’ll slowly but surely accept the cushion as his comfort zone if we help him find stability
by finding the hidden snacks with smell which will reduce his anxiety but increase happiness
Animal Behaviorist: By smelling, he’ll let out his stress and because he lays down comfortably, he’ll recognize this place as his own
Danie’s now got his personal space that satisfies both playing and rewarding
He takes rest with the most eased face on the cushion, not by his mom!
Even when the lady moves from one room to the other, Daniel doesn’t move a muscle but sits tightly!
Even when the lady comes out from a room, Daniel could care less now
While at it, decided to extend it to the outdoors
Rather than the tight indoors, spacious outdoors will help get rid of his separation anxiety
Got him a new home where he can wait for his mom comfortably when his mom goes out
Will Daniel be able to accept this place as his own?
After he focuses for a while, searching for the snacks hidden in the cushion,
soon, Daniel lies down comfortably on his stomach
Guardian: Oh my, I think he got so much better!
As the lady leaves home to run errands,
Daniel looks around again, insecurely!
But soon, he stops and gets back on finding the hidden snacks
Daniel has turned over a new leaf as a mature dog from a dog that always roamed around the lady's side
We wish for Daniel to live a happy doggo life, receiving loads of his mom's love and enjoying freedom!
