The older dogs get the more they prefer to lay low and enjoy some quiet time.

A man named Andrew showed TikTok viewers how his senior dog Rocky reacts when his kids come home from school every day.

Rocky headed upstairs once the two young boys came home from school.

Andrew said, “Bye, Rocky” and the pooch turned around for a few seconds.

The TikTokker added, “See you later.”
