Arlington (Virginia) - Her mission is to make people smile: Golden retriever lady Ellie from Arlington, Virginia, succeeds with flying colors in a viral TikTok hit! In it, the fur nose has to take care of her owner's baby.

The video is only a few seconds long, but it's enough to make tears of laughter flow all over the world. The reason: Ellie is standing behind the seesaw of her youngest family member, which she sets in motion with her right front paw - a picture for the gods.

The sight is so funny that the clip has received more than 31 million clicks and a whopping 4.4 million likes since the end of January. Tens of millions more on the golden retriever's Instagram account.

The baby doesn't seem quite as enthusiastic. The infant looks a little contrite because the bobbing pace is probably a little too fast for him.

Nevertheless, the users can still have a great time. However, this enormous success is no accident.

Ellie is a real internet star, known like a colorful dog. She shares 7.2 million followers on TikTok alone, together with her fellow cat Emma.

Meanwhile, her owners Kevin and Katie Bubolz make every effort to keep their many fans happy. That's why the young parents have been traveling the world with their two golden retrievers for years.

This has resulted in countless funny videos in which the dogs are the stars. Videos in which Ellie and Emma jump on their master's back from behind to take a selfie with him are particularly popular. People has also spoken to Bubolz about his beloved furry friends.

The 34-year-old gushed to the US magazine last year: "When I watch the videos, I realize I'm smiling (...) and I think it has the same effect on the viewers. It brings joy."
