Will my 2-month-old puppy forget me if I'm gone for a month?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 7 days old

Will my (almost 2 month puppy) remember me if I leave for a month (I've had her for almost 3 weeks or so now) -or will she not remember me as her mommy/owner and consider my boyfriend her new owner.

Nuba will remember you! Dogs have a very strong sense of smell, and your scent will be familiar to her when you come home. I'm sure she will be very happy to see you when you come home, have a safe trip :-)
