Some dogs wait by the window when they miss their favorite person, but Aly the Bichon has discovered a much more direct way to stay in touch. The spirited little Bichon has always been full of personality, and thanks to a set of communication buttons, she now has another way to make her feelings known. She can ask for things, share what is on her mind, and even reach out when she is feeling lonely. Her most surprising use of the system, however, happens when her mom is away at work.

Aly the Bichon learned to use buttons that play recorded words and phrases when pressed. Over time, she became comfortable using them for all sorts of everyday requests. She might ask to go with her mom to get the mail or make it clear that a treat sounds like a very good idea. She also uses the buttons to communicate how she is feeling, giving her family another way to understand what she wants in the moment.

Then Aly’s mom introduced a button with a very different purpose. It allowed Aly to call her while she was away at work.

She did not know whether Aly would understand how to use it or what would happen once the button was available. It did not take long for the little Bichon to show that she had plans of her own.

Aly Makes a Very Important Call

One afternoon, Aly woke from a nap and apparently had someone on her mind. Instead of simply wandering around the house or waiting for her mom to return, she headed for her buttons. Aly pressed the one that said, “Alexa, call my mama.”

After a few moments, Alexa connected the call to her mom at work. As soon as Aly heard the familiar voice coming through, she perked up and began responding in the most Aly way possible.

“When I answered at work, she started howling while I talked to her, letting me know she was sad,” Aly’s mom shared on TikTok. She comforted her pup by telling her that Mondays can be hard.

For Aly, hearing her mom’s voice seemed to turn an ordinary afternoon apart into a small moment of connection. She could not make the workday end any sooner, but she could make sure her mom knew exactly how she felt about the situation.

Many dogs spend the day watching the door, listening for footsteps, or waiting for the familiar sound of their person’s arrival. Aly has found her own unusual solution. When waiting becomes a little too difficult, she can simply place a call.

Some pet parents might think twice before giving their dog the ability to contact them during the workday. Aly’s mom, however, treasures the unexpected conversations.

“I swear these little moments melt my heart every single time,” she wrote. “Being able to talk to Aly when I’m at work is something I’ll never take for granted.”

What began as a fun way to help an expressive little dog communicate has become something much sweeter. Aly’s buttons give her another way to participate in daily life, but that phone button offers something especially meaningful when she and her mom are apart.

For Aly’s mom, even a workday howl is worth answering. And for one talkative little Bichon who misses her favorite person, sometimes hearing a familiar voice is exactly what she seems to want.
