When Ashleigh Macpherson brought home a puppy named Kiko, she hoped the dog would be a good distraction during the lockdown. Kiko must have sensed that her mom really needed her, because now the 9-month-old Finnish spitz won’t let her out of her sight.
Kiko has taken the term “watchdog” to a whole new level, insisting on keeping an eye on her mom even when she’s facing the other direction.
At first, Kiko only craned her head back when she slept, and her mom didn’t think anything of it. “She has always done it since she was a small puppy,” Macpherson told The Dodo. “At the time, I just thought she was one of those dogs who liked to sleep ‘broken.’”
But as Kiko got older, she started rotating her head 180 degrees when she was awake, too.
