The moment an owner pulled up to her mother's house with her dog in tow has captured the hearts of internet viewers because of the canine's excitement.
Lee owns a 2-year-old goldendoodle named Clementine, who has a "way of stealing people's hearts" the instant she meets them, the owner told Newsweek via email. But her pet has an especially close connection to Lee's mother.
As one of six kids, Lee said she is the only one not married, and she does not want children. This led her mother to recognize that the only grandkids she will get from Lee are the furry kind. And Clementine, in return, is obsessed with Lee's mom.
"Every time I go home to visit, Clementine can always be found snuggling on my mom's lap, or in her bed, watching her out the windows while my mom is in the garden, and following her around anywhere she goes," Lee said. "It also helps that my mom will make Clementine her very own special egg every morning that we're there."
However, Lee and Clementine visit only about three to five times a year. But, with how little they see each other in person, Clementine somehow knows the dirt road to grandma's house. Lee filmed her dog's reaction once the canine realized where they were going, and the owner shared it on her TikTok account @leelee_332.

Lee said the dirt road leads them to a bridge, and, once they get to that point, Clementine starts to stand in her seat; she recognizes the area and cannot contain her excitement.
In the video, the dog perks up and begins happily tapping her front paws on the center console. Clementine's tail furiously wags back and forth. She tries to get out the window without the car stopping, as she can't wait another second.
Clementine sprints out of the car toward grandma, jumping up and down with joy. For the length of her visit, Lee knows Clementine will be attached to her mother's hip, which she doesn't mind. Their special bond holds a special place in Lee's heart.
"I truly cherish every time I look over and see my mom in a conversation with Clementine while they're sitting on the porch, or the way Clementine will wait outside of the garden gate wanting to go in and see my mom," Lee said.
TikTok users felt the love radiating from the July 1 video. They couldn't get over her precious reaction, calling it a "wholesome" moment. They have also obsessed over the dog's name, which Lee feels suits her perfectly.
