Sad Bulldog Cries While Listening To Adele (VIDEO)

We had no idea that the newest, most effective, way to deal with a bad breakup had gone interspecial. Forget the six Grammys and inspiring performance, this is something Adele should truly be proud of.

According to the video, Rocco is usually a "very happy dog," but on this particular day he seemed depressed.

To help him get in touch with his emotions, his owner turned on Adele's weep-inducing ballad "Someone Like You," while the pup stared at himself in a mirror.

And, while his musically-timed howls are endearing and make us want to give him a hug, they still beg the question: Why so glum, Rocco?

It seems like bulldogs everywhere are getting in touch with their softer sides.

Last week, Baby, a French bulldog, adopted six wild boar piglets after they were rescued and brought to the Lehnitz animal sanctuary outside Berlin.

Sanctuary worker Norbert Damm told the Guardian that Baby ran over and snuggled the shivery piglets to keep them warm even though they were almost as big as her.

Rocco seems to have a loving home despite his momentary depression, but if you'd like to help other sad dogs in need, visit Petfinder.com.

My guess is Rocco's carer has put a toy, behind the glass door and Rocco is signaling that he wants his toy back again.

Clever dog!

BullDogs are so ugly they are cute. LOL I think Rocco just can not figure out who it is in the mirror. Or maybe someone put a treat or toy in the closet that he wants. My Siamees crys more than that. Actually he talks to me. Letting me know what he wants. My big American Bully was more vocol when he wanted something.

Call it crying, if you want, but that's virtually the only sound Frenchie's make. With variations, of course, each of us being an individual and all. But certainly not a breed, known for being so gauche, as to be barking all the time. Which is what Rocco would otherwise be doing, at what he perceives as another dog, when looking at his own reflection in that mirror.

Wow. So Boring.

I don't think that it had anything to do with Adele's singing. I think Rocco is frustrated because he
sees his reflection in the mirror, but thinks it's another dog and wants to visit with him/her.

No animal should be subject to that kind of abuse.

Cute animal videos are great, but -- where's the "denialgate" story?

Maybe the dog woke up to a bad ear day?
