The viral TikTok shows a miniature dachshund named Oscar waiting outside of a door and a cat named Fat Rhonda also waiting outside the bedroom door for their favorite humans to wake up. 

Laskowski wrote in the video, “Our animals have attached themselves to different kids and wait so patiently outside of their rooms.” 

In another TikTok she explained that Oscar’s favorite is  9-year-old Georgia, while Fat Rhonda prefers 7-year-old Griffin.

“Our typical morning is hustle and bustle with getting the kids off to school, but because of the holidays, they slept in. I was sipping my morning coffee when I noticed both fur babies waiting outside their chosen little humans’ doors,” Laskowski told Newsweek.

“I grabbed my phone and hit record because I knew it would make my kids feel so special knowing their fur babies were waiting for them to wake up and play. It was a precious moment, and when I showed my kids they smiled from ear to ear.

“Georgia and Oscar formed a bond pretty quickly when we bought him for her birthday. We adopted Fat Rhonda as a senior cat and she was a bit slow to trust, but she warmed up to Griffin first and now she chooses to sleep in his room. It’s been neat to see her gain trust with him, especially being a senior cat.”

After the video, Laskowski said that she let the two animals into the respective rooms so they could snuggle their favorite humans. 

Many TikTokers are comparing the moment to the film, Homeward Bound, where a group of pets tries to do everything they can to get back to their beloved owners.

“Reminds me of homeward bound. 🥰 Each kid has a best friend!” one user wrote.
