A dog owner netizen recently posted in Twitter about his pet’s unusual behavior: the dog would appear troubled and stare at him for at least ten minutes while he took a bath.

Twitter user @rudeweaver’s dog Clark, a Goldendoodle with some golden retriever blood, would regularly stare at him as if with pity, whenever he showered. At times, Clark would leave then return with its toy, dropping it in the bath, possibly hoping it would make @rudeweaver feel better.
