TikTok user Sherrell Rell Kelly posted a clip of her Doberman Pinscher named Prince reacting to her baby kicking in the womb.

The vid went viral with over 19 million views and it's easy to see why.

Per the clip's caption, Sherrell is 35 weeks pregnant. While she's petting Prince, her baby throws a kick and the pooch reacts immediately, in the sweetest way possible: he puts his ear to the baby bump and appears to listen intently. To top it all off, the handsome hound then rests his chin on his owner's belly.
