Pet owners, like parents, worry when they send their sweethearts to daycare and are always hoping their baby is having a good time.

That's just what Safia Zaman from Houston, Texas, was thinking when she moved her a Bernedoodle puppy Rufus to a new doggie daycare.

One day, Zaman decided to take advantage of her ability to check in on her pooch on the daycare's doggy camera. What she saw broke her heart.
