Thinking it would be a completely ordinary flight, a flight attendant noticed a very unique passenger in the row opposite her.
It turned out to be a tiny Dachshund puppy, nestled in her owner's arms.
An adorable passenger
The little pup was resting her head on her owner's shoulder. In the video footage below, the puppy appears to be quite young. She has long, soft fur and some adorable markings on her head.
The little dog seems to be wondering what she's doing on the plane, but her owner's gentle and calming presence is clearly comforting her. The short video clip would melt any animal lover's heart.
A social media buzz
Indeed, the video created a huge buzz online, with more than 1.8 million people watching it on a loop on the social media platform TikTok. Unsurprisingly, viewers were absolutely smitten with the pup in the comments: "If that were me, I would have begged them to sit next to me, I'd even have paid them if I had to!"
Another person joked: "She's a Dachshund: of course she's shocked she's not in first class!" The video reached so many people that the dog's owner even recognised herself and commented: "That's me! Her name is Maggie!"
