As the camera pans from Jango running around with toys to Jorah on the couch, her expression has delighted everyone. "POV [Point of view] you got your dog a dog and she's judging tf [the f***] out of you for it," the poster said in the video.
The boxer is known for its active and fun-loving personality. First recognized as a breed in 1904 by the American Kennel Club (AKC), it is the 16th most-popular breed in the U.S.
Introducing a puppy to an older dog can require some careful thought. Mature dogs can be stubborn, often set in their routine.
Dr. Mary Burch is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and AKC Family Dog Director. She previously told Newsweek: "Introduce your puppy and dog in a controlled situation... you could start with an outdoor introduction (in a neutral area) with both the puppy and dog on leashes and then move into the house."
Keeping an eye on body language ensures that you can react accordingly to the interaction.
Look out for positive signs like the "play bow," where a tail goes up and head goes down, a well-known invitation for dog playtime. Yawning is also a sign that dogs are communicating they're not a threat. Whines, barks and growls can be harder to predict as they are often part of play, but could also be a threat.
Hundreds of comments flooded in, reflecting how amused fellow animal lovers by the viral video.
Some posted their impressions of what Jorah was thinking, with user @makalyaxbrooks writing, "He not staying, right?" while @sometimesrobinreads humorously interpreted Jorah's expression as, "girl what the h***?"
Not long after, poster @andallthatjasz said that Jorah does love Jango really, just perhaps not while she is trying to nap.
"I wasn't prepared for the judgment," posted one viewer who was in hysterics at Jorah's facial expression, while @Shea imagined the dog's inner monologue as: "Dog: 'girl whet is dissss.'"
Others pointed out just how similar Jango and Jorah look. User Riley:) wrote: "Maybe she's confused as to why you cloned a mini her. Probably thinks her identity was stolen."
