Many of us who owned dogs and went off to colleges without their beloved can totally relate to this story and understand why this went viral online.

A brave soul named Sean Fenton, a sophomore at Oregon State, tried to smuggle his Shetland Sheepdog, Willy, with him back to school last Thursday after spending holidays at home. Fenton was planning for a fun week with Willy and his friends. However, this valiant try was short-lived.

His parents found out Willy was gone and they frantically searched for him. Fenton posted a photo of messages exchanged between his mom and him on Twitter. After his mom found out Fenton smuggled Willy to school, the angry mom said, "You're done."

In an interview with Buzzfeed, Fenton said his parents were worried that he "wouldn't be able to take care of" Willy but he actually took "a tub of his food and his favorite toys" with him.

So after just one wild night at Oregon State, Fenton drove Willy back home the next day. He tweeted a Vine video of Willy looking out the window and captioned, "Turns out, Willy's a dog. So I drove him back."
