An adorable trio of canine friends have captured the hearts of dog lovers everywhere, after the owner of two Newfoundlands caught the interaction on camera.
Along with their little Shih Tzu BFF, they're now know as the "Three Musketeers".
Happiness in canine form
The clip, which was shared by teddythenewfie_swe_ to Instagram, shows a grey and black Newfoundland happily greeting their friend.
Weighing up to 68kg, the dogs tower over the little Shih Tzu, who seems completely unfazed by their size.
To those that know the breed, it comes as no surprise that the Newfoundlands are so good around a much smaller dog. In fact, these gentle giants are known for their affectionate, loving natures, regularly assisting in the search and rescue of missing people at sea.
The tiny boss
Now viewed over 16,000 times, many viewers shared their admiration for such a remarkable friendship.
"Looks like the little guy is the tiny boss", joked one amused viewer.
"Shih Tzu, little lions. Fearless", wrote another, reflecting on why the breed are often referred to as "Lion Dogs".
While in theory you'd be hard-pushed to find two more different breeds, the clip just goes to show that personality makes all the difference when it comes to an unbreakable bond between friends.
