We’ve all been in the situation where we want to talk to our significant other before bed, but we just can’t keep our eyes open. This is exactly the situation that Sam Stine of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania found himself in recently when he was FaceTiming one night with his girlfriend, Brookelyn Bilski.

Right in the middle of their conversation, Brookelyn suddenly dosed off. Lucky for her, Brookelyn’s trusty chihuahua Leo was on hand to take over the conversation for her.

“She had fallen asleep with her phone up against her pillow,” Sam recalled. “I watched Leo walk over to the phone and stare directly into my eyes.” He added that Leo immediately took her place in front of the phone’s camera, and the two proceeded to have “a deep meaningful conversation” during which they “learned a lot about each other.”

Sam later shared more photos of Leo to show off how adorable the dog really is.

It turns out that many other pet owners have found themselves in similar situations as well!

Sam said that he was surprised at just how viral his exchange with Leo went.

“I’m really surprised by the amount of attention the post got,” Sam said. “Really glad people appreciate Leo as much as we do.”
