“Such a beautiful video, never fails to make me feel happy,” one user wrote, with another adding, “After watching this video I have to have a shih tzu.”

“Most adorable video in a long time!! hope u guys remain happy always!!” another social media user commented.

A different user commented that the dog in the video reminded him of his own dog.

“This reminds me of our 1-pound (at 2 months old!) red & white chihuahua Patty when she joined our family back in 2008. She loved to play, just like this little Shih-Tzu,” the user wrote. “I’d come home from a hard day working on cars, and she’d come running, that tiny tail wagging like crazy, standing on her hind legs waving her paws, my cue to come on down to where she was and play-fight. Every time, the first thing she’d do was investigate the contents of my pockets; she’d stick her head in, knowing my bandana was there, grab it in her teeth to pull it out of my pocket and run away with it, shaking it like she was a terrier. Still does it today and she’ll be 8 years old (and 6 pounds) in 2 weeks. A very nice video, thanks very much for posting it.”
