Dog Owner Tries To Work From Home but There's a Problem: 'Cuddle Hours'

A dog owner has left the internet in hysterics after showing how difficult it is to try and get anything done with a Staffordshire bull terrier around.Working from home is a great way to stay focused and avoid disruptions from noisy coworkers all the time. That is, unless you have a staffie like Callie, who just loves to interrupt her owner whenever she wants attention and cuddles.Callie’s owner shared a hilarious video on the dog’s dedicated TikTok account (@calliethestaff) showing just how clingy her adorable pup can be. Whenever the owner tries to get work done, respond to emails, or format documents on her laptop, Callie is sure to find a way to get involved.And by get involved, that means stop what her owner is doing to get all the attention put on her instead.The hilarious clip, shared on June 28, has delighted internet users and generated over 325,200 views and more than 64,100 likes at the time of writing.Alongside the amusing clip, the TikTok caption jokes: “She’s innocent your honor.”Following the COVID pandemic, millions of office workers across the world had to get used to working from home practically overnight. While many companies are overhauling their remote work policies and encouraging workers to return to the office, it seems that Americans are divided on which they prefer.A survey by YouGov in 2024 found that, if given the choice, 36 percent of Americans would prefer to work fully remote, while 27 percent would choose to be office-based. The hybrid model (a combination of office and remote working) was preferred by 28 percent of Americans.When it comes to working remotely, the biggest draw is how much time people can save commuting between their home and the office. That was cited by 68 percent of respondents. Among the other reasons, 64 percent of people said they can save money on commuting costs, and 43 percent said they’re more productive at home.As for people like Callie’s owner, pets are a big factor for many remote workers. According to the YouGov poll, 28 percent said they prefer remote working because they have pets, and it allows them to stay at home with them.While Callie might prefer this, her owner may think otherwise.Since the clip was shared online in June, TikTok users have lauded Callie’s hilarious disruptions. This has led to over 360 comments on the viral post at the time of writing.One comment reads: “Why would you work during cuddle hours?”Another person wrote: “Your laptop is in her way of getting cuddles and attention btw.”Another TikTok user added: “Sorry can’t do work today, my pup is pestering me.”While one commenter joked: “She’s just doing the lord’s work. You should thank her with more treats.”Newsweek has contacted @calliethestaff via TikTok for comment.
