For most working professionals beating the clock in the morning through myriad issues is often a huge task. A bigger task is coming up with veritable excuses for the delay.

But the world of social media has something new and hopeful to offer wherein one woman’s story is making millions melt.

On Imgur, an online image sharing community, user CainMolir shared a screenshot of an exchange between her and employee Jenn who sent a message intimating that she’d be late to work, NDTV reported.

When asked why she simply replied saying, “Yes. My dog was sleeping and looked really cute. I spent some time taking pictures of him instead of getting ready.” She follow up her candid response with an endearing photo of her dog and if melting her boss was the motive then Jenn got it spot on.

While this exchange might be considered unprofessional and even inappropriate by some, Jenn’s boss agreed with her and referring to Jenn as ‘mom in office’ she said, "She missed work one other time in her nearly eight year career with us, and that was when her son had his wisdom teeth removed about nine months into her employment."

The image has since gone viral garnering 2.3 lakh views and inundated with well-meaning and happy responses. "Damn. I wish I worked with you. That's very sweet of you," said a user on Imgur.
