"POV: when your golden retriever who always keeps his eyes on you lost sight of you for 30s," reads the on-screen text.

There is clearly a strong emotional connection between Maui the dog and his best buddy.

When he finally finds her again, the joy is written all over the sweet doggo's face as the pet runs happily towards her.

The video, which is captioned, "To be loved by him," has touched many users already and has amassed a whopping 3.5 million views and counting!

It just goes to show that short attention spans aren't always bad – sometimes they can be downright adorable!
