Alaska Pup Gives Cold Shoulder After Reunion With Long-Lost Friend

By Edward Johnson 10/21/2025

Being away from beloved pets for an extended period is never easy. That’s why many animal lovers keep their phones filled with photos of their furry companions, just to feel a little closer while apart.

Most pet owners can relate to that longing, and it’s safe to say our animals miss us just as much. Sometimes, when we return after a long time away, they don’t greet us with excitement but instead act like they’re holding a grudge.

That’s exactly what happened to Madelyn when she returned to Alaska after a month away and was met with a reaction she didn’t see coming.

A Familiar Face Gets The Cold Shoulder


After spending a month visiting a friend in Idaho, Madelyn finally returned to Alaska. At first, Beneli, her friend’s dog, seemed thrilled to see her. But that excitement quickly faded as he remembered she hadn’t been around for quite a while.

Madelyn and Beneli had built a strong connection. She saw him nearly every day, and their bond had grown close over time.

But that daily companionship had been interrupted during her trip, and Beneli wasn’t quick to forgive.


Once it sank in that his favorite visitor had been gone for an entire month, Beneli decided to make his feelings known by ignoring her completely.

Madelyn recorded a short video as she tried to get his attention. No matter what she did, Beneli refused to look at her or respond.

Though he seemed genuinely upset, dogs rarely stay mad for long. Before too much time passed, his icy demeanor melted, and the two were back to being best friends.

Madelyn found the whole situation both funny and heartwarming, so she shared the video of Beneli’s frosty reaction on TikTok. It didn’t take long for the clip to gain traction.

Viewers were amused by the dog’s behavior and flooded the comments with their thoughts.

One person wrote: “He’s like, can someone please tell her I’m not speaking to her?

Unfortunately for Beneli, there was no one else to deliver the message, but his silence said it all.

Another person said: “And you can tell he’s doing it on purpose. Lol, dogs are so dramatic.

Honestly, I didn’t realize dogs could be this dramatic, but examples like this prove me wrong every time.


Lastly, somebody commented: “I love when dogs get mad because you can tell they have to work hard at it.

That’s one of the most lovable things about dogs. Even when they’re upset, it doesn’t take long for their affection to return. A little patience and kindness usually go a long way.

In Madelyn’s case, that’s exactly what happened. Though Beneli was clearly annoyed at first, he soon let go of his grudge and welcomed her back with love.
