Dogs can be very protective of their owners and that should come as no surprise to anyone.
In fact, they can be so good at that job that they will keep trying to prevent the same accident, even after it has happened.
Because they have a pretty good memory, such accidents can be pretty scary for them, so they will always try to preemptively react to them in case they happen again.
Something like this happened to an owner from California when her dog reacted sharply to a smoke alarm once, not realizing what would happen next.
He Looks So Concerned
It was an ordinary day for Tracy Hall and her dog, Charlie, who were just enjoying their day as usual. Tracy decided to reheat some pizza, not knowing what was about to happen.
Some cheese fell to the bottom of the oven and created smoke, which triggered the smoke alarm. This frightened Charlie who immediately reacted to it.
However, she didn’t even have a suspicion how this would affect her dog later. Now, anytime she turns on the oven or goes into the kitchen, her dog just turns to her and watches.
He is scared that the smoke alarm might go off again and something bad will happen, so he is paying close attention to what is happening.
Charlie only relaxes after seeing her move away from the kitchen. In fact, he often leaves the room and gazes at his owner from there.
This has been going on for four years and he’s still frightened by this particular incident. Tracy didn’t have an idea how something like this would leave an impression on him, but it did.
What Did TikTokers Have To Say?
This California owner was so surprised that her dog still reacts to the oven like this, so she posted the short clip of Charlie standing outside the room on TikTok, where it received an overwhelming response.
One person commented: “My dog hides outside as soon as I preheat the oven. Just me. If my husband or kids use the oven, she’s completely fine.”
It’s always fascinating to see how dogs react in different situations. It looks like Charlie isn’t the only one like this, and it’s always good to get a different perspective.
Another person said: “They don’t forget and they do judge. At least mine does.”
Well, I think that Charlie in this situation is actually just concerned because he fears that the smoke from the alarm might go off.
Lastly, somebody commented: “Memory like an elephant…THIER ears are so sensitive to that shrill sound – guess it hurts.”
Yeah, that is the primary reason why dogs have such reactions to alarm, and it’s just heartbreaking to see how scared they get when they hear it.
Nevertheless, this still shows us why it’s important to be careful when doing something in the kitchen and how it might affect our furry companions. We never truly know how it will affect them until it happens.
