When a dog owner decided to ignore her Great Dane in a TikTok video, the pet's reaction was so sweet that it has melted hearts online.
The footage, which was shared to the app by Olympus Great Danes, shows a dog named Apollo sat on the sofa next to a woman.
An automated voice over the video then says: "Sitting beside my Great Dane and ignoring him."
The woman then turns away from the dog, and the animal looks surprised.
The voice, speaking from the dog's perspective, then says: "Do you see this c**p. Well then..."
The large pet then bows his head, clearly saddened by the situation.
Apollo then changes tack and decides to sidle up to his owner, who is still looking the other way, and nuzzles his nose into her body.
The voice the says: "Well, then... good to know I'm loved. I know your arms aren't broken you've been texting all day."
Apollo then proceeds to paw at her body, while the audio says: "Hello! Human!"
Next the dog, clearly exasperated, plonks his body on top the woman, as the video ends: "Well, only one logical thing to do.. perfect."
