Chow chow can’t deal with long distance relationship: emotional reaction when she FaceTimes owner

This chow chow’s emotional reaction to seeing her owner on FaceTime after three weeks apart proves just how hard long distance relationships can be.

The video was posted to YouTube by Viralhog two days ago and has already racked up more than 50,000 views, and presumably broken just as many hearts.

After her owner jetted off on a work trip this pooch was feeling pretty down in the dumps.

So in an attempt to lift her spirits her dogsitter set up a FaceTime call between the two.

But rather than cheering the pup up, the call set off a flood of emotions that reminded her just how much she missed her human.

Slumped on the couch with her face in the pillows, the big fluffball could only cry when her owner appeared on screen.

There's no word on whether the pair have been reunited yet.

But stay tuned - we imagine there will be an equally heart-wrenching viral video of it to ball your eyes out over.
