Do you know what your dog does when you’re not home? We bet your beloved friend misses you so much when you’re gone that he lights up at the sound of your voice, even when it comes in the form of technology rather than in-person.

The dog in this video starts howling when the answering machine goes off in his house. The sound of his guardian’s voice is so comforting that he rushes up to the machine and talks right back to it. “Hi, we’re not here right now…” is met with a friendly howl.

We love how much our doggie friends recognize us and love us like family. They’re awesome creatures. They’re also pretty hilarious, especially when they get excited. Watch the Happiest Dogs in the World Splash Around at a Doggy Pool Party! Also, see these Silly Dogs Attempting to Communicate in Funny Ways.
