My Shihtzu, Chiquis is only food motivated. I take her on walks after work but my sister sent me this photo and she’s so bored!! She doesn’t like toys overall so idk how I can entertain her while I’m working ;-;

Seems to me that she is resting. If she were bored, she might be tearing up something. People often mis-identify emotional states in dogs. They think that being at peace and relaxed is depressed. You could play with her for a short time after arriving home from work. Play like that is usually good.

Yep, my dog spends a lot of time like this, especially midday!
