The video originated on the Chinese video sharing app Kuaishou by a user named qiyameng, but went viral after being shared by Viral Paws in April.
The footage captures the precious moment between a new mom and dad and their newborn litter of six puppies.
As the babies sleep, the new parents have a quiet moment looking over them with pride:
Then one of the dogs puts his head over the other in a loving moment:
More footage shows one of the new parents cuddling with a newborn…
…and both parents cuddling with the whole litter:
It’s adorable stuff, and surprisingly relatable and human.
It’s the kind of newborn photoshoot most people would love to post on their Facebook pages.
And it clearly struck a chord: the video has over ten million views on YouTube.
It was so successful that they released a sequel on September 4, showing how much the puppies have grown since their breakout hit:
What proud parents and a beautiful family! Share this adorable video!
What a beautiful family. Love that pic of the parents protecting their family.
Goldens are so lovable, but I think all dogs are!
