Like owner like dog, they say, and this is surely true for one TikTok user, who melted hearts all over the internet after sharing her pet's reaction to her favorite song.

In the clip, shared on TikTok on Monday under the username @madewithmaggie, the Labrador puppy can be seen chilling on her owner's bed, doing nothing special. Then, out of the blue, her owner comes into the room and starts playing music.

As the Labrador's owner puts on "All my Love" by Noah Kahan, the puppy suddenly jumps up on the bed and starts wagging her tail, unable to contain her happiness at hearing the song. Her owner can be heard saying: "It's your favorite song, I know!"

The hilarious clip comes with a caption that reads: "When you listen to Noah Kahan constantly and unintentionally pass your love for his music onto your four-month-old lab."

Psychology Today writes that canines as a species do have a sense of pitch. The kind of music that most often induces a dog to howl is produced on wind instruments, particularly reed instruments, such as clarinets or saxophones.

The website says: "Sometimes dogs can be induced to howl by a long note on the violin or even by a human holding a long note while singing. Perhaps these sound like proper howls to the listening dog and he feels the need to answer and join the chorus."

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 1.7 million views and almost 440,000 likes on the platform.
