How does your dog react when they see you crying or upset? Some pups grow immediately concerned, while others aren’t sure what to do, and they might even try to get away. TikToker @lexiehle says that if she even thinks about crying, her dogs know it and immediately get to work trying to comfort her.

Watch as Lex, who’s lying in bed with her Corgi and Australian Shepherd, both of whom seem to be sound asleep. But as soon as they hear her sniffling, they immediately wake up and move toward her. She calls them her emotional support babies, and we honestly can’t disagree with that!

We also loved Lex’s video caption: “Rich because this is what happens when I even think about crying.” We couldn’t agree more—Lex truly is a very lucky girl!
