As the Daily Star reported, Lyla uses her smell to sniff out where her owner is.

Owner Mark Reed filmed Lyla catching his scent and uploaded the heartwarming footage to TikTok on December 24.

In the video, the dog ambles around before suddenly catches a whiff of Mark and starts jumping and prancing for joy. Lyla then makes her way to her master by following her nose. Once she gets close she keeps, sniffing until she gets to his hands and is rewarded with some cuddles.
