The number of times we’ve been instructed as a youngster to stand back from the TV is honestly too many to remember. Our parents would always scold at us for sitting too close, stating that it was going to injure our eyes. It’s true, but we obviously didn’t grasp it at the time. When you’re too close to a screen, your eyes can surely strain.
The TikTok user @10lb billie is demonstrating to us how our dogs may become engrossed in screens, which is something we never thought we’d need to explain to our pets. The owner’s Jack Russell Terrier evidently loves watching the iPad. She is so overwhelmed that she falls into the screen head first. It brings back vivid memories of our early years. The caption even reads, “Why I can’t leave Billie alone with the iPad.” You’ll be LOLing when you see how close this doggie gets!

OMG, this dog is really buried in the screen and is pondering how those characters even got there. We have no idea how challenging it would be to remove her. She is engrossed with her iPad. LOL! In defense of her, we believe she is following what @CinCin wrote. “A lot of thought processing going on. Amazing,” reads the comment.
She watches really close and personal, according to @suelopez1955, a different TikTok user. She’s just trying to make sure she doesn’t miss anything! She should be told, however, that if she reclines, she will be able to see more. LOL!
