A video of a puppy playing with a some butterflies has been called "majestic" and "the most beautiful video in the world" by people on TikTok.
In footage shared to the social media site on July 3 by a woman named Gaby, known online as Spicymexicanbean, the sweet puppy can be seen holding a tennis ball in his mouth.
The pet, whose name is Gordo, immediately drops the ball when a pair of yellow and black butterflies swoop down from a tree.
Transfixed by their fluttering wings, the puppy's face follows their movements as one lands on his nose.
Calmly the dog bows his head, and it flies away and then Gordo gazes up at his new hovering friends.
Gaby, who is from Boise, Idaho, captioned the video: "Hello," alongside a butterfly emoji.
She also clarified some facts people wanted to know about the pooch, writing below: "For everyone asking he's a corgi/lab/border collie and his name is Gordo."
The video has gone viral online, having so far been viewed a whopping 16.1 million times and received 4.7 million likes.
Many people took to the comments section to share their delight at the wholesome video.
One TikTok user, Andrea, wrote: "This is literally the most beautiful video in the world."

Posted to the social app by Daneandadoxie on June 25, the footage shows the sweet pets, also known as sausage dogs, playing together in the shallow water.
