Ghost the Husky does not believe in playing it cool.
In the TikTok video, he’s pacing and quivering at the bus stop, waiting for his girl to come home from school. The second he hears that bus air-brake hiss, he launches into full siren mode—howling, crying, spinning in excited circles like his whole day has been leading up to this moment. My dog Lola deeply relates; she is also a feelings-forward queen who believes the entire neighborhood should be notified whenever something important happens.
When the doors finally open and his girl steps out from behind the bus, Ghost absolutely explodes with joy. His cries get louder, his tail whips harder, and his whole body folds into her like he is trying to merge into one creature. One commenter puts it perfectly: “telling the world that the favorite person is home! 😁” That’s exactly what it looks like—an emotional press release, powered by Husky lungs.
For us, it’s just the bus schedule. For dogs like Ghost, it is the highlight of the day: the moment their favorite face returns, the routine resets, and the world feels right again. His “baby cries” aren’t sadness; they’re proof of how deeply he’s attached.
Lola is the same way with her favorite people. She might not have a school bus to scream at, but if a beloved friend’s car pulls into the driveway, she lets loose a soundtrack that could probably be heard from space. It is chaotic, loud, and honestly one of the purest expressions of love I’ve ever seen.
Big Feelings, Bigger Bonds
Ghost’s dramatic bus stop routine is adorable, but it also shows how strong the bond can be between dogs and kids. Many dogs build deep emotional attachments to “their” children, and predictable daily routines—like greeting them at the same time every afternoon—make that connection even stronger. The American Kennel Club notes that when kids are involved in simple training and daily care, like feeding, play, and walks, it not only strengthens the dog–child bond but also boosts empathy and responsibility in kids.
Ghost’s howls might sound over the top to some, but they’re really the sound of a heart that’s fully invested. To him, that yellow bus doesn’t just bring kids home—it brings his kid home, and that is absolutely worth screaming about.
