When Einstein has been left home alone with the pet camera turned on, he seems to know he has an audience. Staring straight into the camera, ears back, Einstein acts as though he’s been completely abandoned with just water to sustain him.
This is the face of a dog who wonders why his moms have left him here all alone and if he will ever get any attention ever again. But don’t buy into his sad looks — it’s all an act!
“Someone please give my boy an Oscar for best dog cam performance of the year,” one of his moms wrote in the caption of a March 28 Instagram post showing a few clips from their pet cam. “He’s being so extra. There’s literally no way he doesn’t know we are watching him.”
He is definitely always dramatic,” Einstein’s mom Maria Christine Myhren-Dahl told The Dodo. “He has been spoiled with a lot of attention and [is] almost never home alone. He demands attention and snuggles each second of every day.”
She continued, “If we don’t give him attention, he will walk to the other side of the couch with his back turned against us and pout with the most dramatic stares of betrayal.”
Myhren-Dahl and her partner, Frida Linnea Myhren-Dahl adopted Einstein in January 2022. “On our first date, [Frida and I] found out that the both of us wanted dogs and that we wanted the same breed: bull terrier,” Myhren-Dahl said. “[Einstein] completely melted our hearts from the beginning!”
