In an age where hugs and handshakes are quickly becoming a thing of the past, perhaps we could all take some tips on how to properly greet a friend from these two dogs.
The clip shows the hilarious way a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, who have been friends since they were puppies, greet each other when they see one another in the park.
As soon as Cleo the German Shepherd sees her friend, she instantly crouches down in an attempt to conceal herself from sight, as she begins to stalk her lifelong pal in a rather feline manner.
Cleo slowly creeps forward and drops back into a crouch at regular intervals, appearing to fool the Golden Retriever who seems none the wiser, much to the amusement of their owner.
Eventually, after Cleo has crept as close as she can, her furry friend finally spots her and the two sprint towards each other in excitement.
The video, which comes from TikTok user @notoriouscleo, has become a viral sensation, with over 14 million views and almost three million likes.
Viewers were very amused by the bizarre greeting, with one user commenting: “I love when dogs become invisible to other dogs when they crouch down.”
Another equally excited commenter wrote: “That German Shepherd is stalking him like a cat, omg how cute.”
A third added: “I think that’s a cat in German Shepherd disguise.”
