Most of us would have caught our dogs staring into the widescreen of the television at least once. While it might seem that they have no real interest in what they are watching, one could be wrong. This pooch from Tennessee will give some insight into what a dog feels when it’s tuned in to a movie, to be precise, an emotional scene.
When Josh Myers and his partner, Hannah, were watching “The Lion King” in February 2019, their adopted pit bull puppy, named Luna, was beside them busy playing with her toys. As the movie progresses to the scene where Simba’s dad, Mufasa, is thrown off a cliff to his death and little Simba finds Mufasa’s inert body, it gets emotional for most of us.
However, the tragedy of the scene unfolding wasn’t lost on little Luna; she was alertly watching and listening, and was obviously feeling the same emotions adults have at those poignant moments.
He added: “She even lays down right after Simba lays with his dad….We don’t deserve dogs. 4 months old and she’s already showing empathy.”
“What an amazing dog!! The empathy in his feeling, he definitely will make him a great companion to the family,” wrote one social media user.
Meanwhile, another wrote, “What a beautiful dog you have and very very smart. Looks like a pit mix? I love them such kind wonderful dogs.”
A third one chimed in, writing, “That’s amazing How this adorable pup understands What’s going on in the movie This is unbelievable.”
Luna was adopted by Josh and Hannah, a young couple in Chattanooga. During their first ride back home, Luna instantly connected with the couple and snuggled up in Hannah’s arms as Josh drove.
