Dog Can’t Contain Her Joy at Spotting Dog Walker 'in the Wild’—See the Heartwarming Video Here

A year ago, Tilly, an Australian Kelpie, went viral online for her heartwarming reaction to spotting her dog walker "in the wild." In honor of a year since that moment, Tilly's owner re-posted the video and is going viral all over again.

The viral video was posted on the Instagram account @tillyzooms, an account dedicated to daily Tilly content posted by her owner, Annie. The viral video shows Tilly casually walking with Annie when she suddenly sees someone approaching her that she was not expecting on her walk—her dog walker. Tilly begins wagging her tail and wiggling with excitement. She then hops up on her hind legs to embrace the dog walker with loud, happy barks and cuddles to show her love.

The original heartwarming video reached over 35 million views and received 2.5 million likes. "Turns out, millions of people love a dramatic Kelpie just as much as I do," Annie wrote in the caption. In the recent post, Annie reflects on the impact that the viral video made on Tilly's account and the community online, mentioning that the account grew 20,000 followers.

"I am so grateful for the community we have and I'm so grateful for the life I get to spend with Tilly, not just because she's mine but because so many of you love her like she's yours too," Annie wrote.

Many people commented on the video admiring Tilly's reaction to her dog walker. "So cute! That's my dog when she sees her bestie the postman," one person wrote. Another wrote: "Love a dramatic girlie! How could you not love Tilly when you see the pure happiness and unbelievable excitement she experiences daily?"

We couldn't agree more.
