A Raleigh, NC pooch is clearly confused seeing the family cat on the computer and also in the same room. Jennifer Barnes, Emma’s 12-year-old owner was testing out her new video camera when she captured the amusing footage of the confused pooch. Emma, a lab, is clearly enthralled watching the video image of Sugar, the family cat on the computer but also clearly confused, so much so that she actually goes over to check out the “real” Sugar. And it’s turned into quite the YouTube hit as well!
“I think that it is amazing that it has got so many views,” Jennifer said. “When I first posted it up, being a video of my dog of all things, I didn’t think that it was going to get many views at all.
“So the fact that it has almost reached 200,000 views is insane to me. While recording the video I thought that Emma’s reaction to it was hilarious.
“She does things like that sometimes, but I’ve never really been able to catch it and have her continue doing it for so long. “And the fact that she actually went over to see Sugar amazed me and my parents. Sugar and Emma get along well. They mostly just put up with each other, but occasionally Emma will wander over to Sugar and give her a kiss.
“The footage on the laptop of Sugar had been taken the night before as a test video for my video camera.”
What a great video Jennifer!

D, thank you for such a great video! I am sitting here LMAO!!! All right now, you know me and my labbies, and know their silly expressions, which Emma’s were all too familiar with the tilting of the head, looking behind the laptop to see if Sugar was behind it, OMG, it cracked me up!!
It is certainly good to see something that will bring smiles and chuckles instead of tears and sadness. Thanks D!
And Jennifer – great video! Think about videography as a career!
Susie, you know I thought about you and Jess with your labbie babies when I saw this and had to share it. The expressions on Emma’s face are just so funny, cracked me up too!!
Y’know, it had always been said that dogs can’t “see” or recognize pictures and television but that’s recently been proven quite the falsehood, something that many of us know already. I know it will get my babies’ attention when there is something on TV, a dog, cat or some kind of critter. This vid clearly shows an intelligence and recognition level that many would have denied not too long ago. Again, just proving our babies are much smarter than so many people think!
So glad you got such a chuckle outta this!
I really believe they can see television. On Saturdays when I am home and cooking in the kitchen, I put Animal Planet on for the boys, and Buddy especially sits there and watches, tilting his head back and forth. When we take videos up at the lake, and show the kids when we get home, Max will run to the windows and look for the lake! There have been times when they hear the video and one of their names called, and they jump up out of sound sleep and come running. They sit on the sofa and watch the lake videos too, Bud and Knight understand, but Max keeps looking for that darn lake in the backyard!
Caught pieces of it. Typical lab…..LOL. Right Susie? As I always say….the clown of dogs. Good job Jennifer. I always have believed they could see images on the TV. Never thought for a moment that they couldn’t. Emma is so adorable!
Jess, they may be clowns to you, but I have the 3 Stooges at my house, and as one of my friends calls them “the 3 Stoogeadors” LOL
