A husky's adorable reaction to her favorite human returning from work is delighting the internet.
Rescue dog Stella, 4, is so happy when her mom comes home that she wiggles her bum, throws her paws in the air and bounces up and down upon her arrival.
"She is typically very excited when I come home," Stella's owner Kristen told Newsweek. "I'm her favorite human—just don't let her dad know."
Kristen shared a video of Stella's lively greeting to TikTok on her account @stellathehusky, where it melted dog lovers' hearts. Captioned "the best part of my day," the cute clip has received over 5.3 million views.
Kristen, from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, adopted Stella from a local shelter in February.
"I had just lost my pitbull to cancer a few weeks prior and it was so upsetting coming home to a house with no best friend," she said.
"They all loved [Stella] at the shelter. She had been there for four months and everyone said she was the best husky they've ever met."
Despite being a "very moody" dog that "gives lots of attitude," Stella is always thrilled when her mom walks through the door.
"She sometimes reacts this way to her dad when he gets home late from work," she said. "But also her aunt, who watches her when I'm away."
When she's not napping or running around the yard, Stella shows her affection by laying with Kristen on the sofa or following her around the house while she gets ready for work as a recruiter.
"I love her so much," she said.
TikTok users also couldn't get enough of the happy hound, with the video being liked more than 780,000 times.
