When a visibly tired Chris collapses on the floor, limbs all splayed out, there's some movement in the background.

Nala, who's just chilling on the coach, immediately springs into action and hurries over to his side.

After stretching out and giving the whole situation a good sniff, the handsome hound clambers all over her human and gives him the biggest hug you're likely to see.

And poof, there goes all that stress! The two continue to cuddle adorably, before Chris looks up at his faithful four-legged friend and asks: "You want to go for a walk?"

Judging by Nala's happy reaction, that's all she was waiting for!
