Bernese mountain dog hears his mistress sneeze for the first time: His reaction is so cute
Great Britain - Sansa the dog was making herself comfortable on the floor in the living room when she was startled by a noise she had never heard before.
In a video shared on the TikTok channel "bernese_sansa", the Bernese mountain dog can be seen resting when her owner suddenly starts sneezing out of nowhere.
After a quick sideways glance, the puppy backs away in fright, probably wondering what the strange noise means.
Annie, 26, from the British town of Worcestershire, told Newsweek that Sansa was only about three months old when the clip was recorded.
"The video was the first time she had heard a sneeze, which caught her very off guard - a definite break from her usually laid-back Bernie personality," Annie said.
The hilarious dog clip quickly went viral on social media, reaching over 710,000 views and 171,000 likes. Numerous users were amused by the little puppy's reaction.
Dog reacts to a human sneeze and goes viral online
"My dog hates it when someone sneezes - and when we're in public and someone sneezes, she stops and stares at them," one TikTok user wrote in response to the clip.
"This is the face I make when the sneezer hasn't covered their mouth," joked another user, while a third commented: "When my dog was a puppy and sneezed for the first time, he got so scared he started whimpering."
In addition to humans, dogs can also sneeze - for example due to allergies, infections, nasal mites or growths in the nose.
