A dog owner from Dallas, Texas, tried to work from home with her Australian shepherd, Stilton, but things didn't exactly go as planned, and internet users still can't get over the pup's heartwarming reaction to having his mom home.

The poster, Alexina Bonnaventure, shared her attempt in a hilarious Instagram post in August, under the username @stiltontheaussie, with a clip that documents all of her dog's demands while she tries to have a productive workday.

About one in five Americans currently work from home, and as Forbes magazine reports, this number is set to grow in the next year, when it is estimated that around 32.6 million Americans, 22 percent of the country's workforce, will be working remotely.

Excited about his mom being home during working hours, Stilton couldn't hide his feelings, walking up to her every so often, demanding love and play time, and reminding her to take breaks so they could cuddle.

"What working from home with an Aussie really looks like. 8:30 a.m. morning hugs. 10:30 a.m. fetch time. 11:45 a.m. lunch reminder. 2:30 p.m. mom you need a break. Is it 5 p.m. yet?" reads layover text in the clip, and the caption adds: "He's the best co-worker there ever was."

All dogs would spend their entire day playing and cuddling with their owners if they only could; and while their love can be flattering, it can also become a nuisance if they don't understand that you can't spend all your time with them.

Sarah Fraser, certified dog behavior consultant, shared a few tips on how to help foster your dog's independence on her website. The first thing to do is creating an environment in which your dog is able to behave independently, like a crate or part of a room, where they can do anything they want without your intervention.

Offering them satisfying entertaining options that don't require your presence will also help keep them busy and take their minds off you. It is also important to provide them with comfortable resting spots that are appealing to them.

Now, the hardest part: you have to learn to say no to your pup when they want to spend time with you; and according to Fraser, it is fine if they are sad at first. They will eventually get used to it, and spending time with you will no longer be a demand.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 2.4 million views and more than 94,000 likes on the platform.

One user, Bogesmummeagen, commented: "Vellcro love embodied in film."
