In this mesmerizing clip on social media, a teeny hummingbird started buzzing around an unsuspecting dog. This pup seemed curious about the small bird but a bit unsure of what to do about it. Meanwhile, the little creature kept flying right into the pooch’s face. Watch the video here!

A second, almost identical canine soon entered the frame. This dog was also pretty interested in the hummingbird. Surprisingly, the feathered animal was completely unphased by getting so close to these two large pups. In fact, the bird eventually landed on the ground right by their feet, allowing them to get an even better sniff.

These dogs were very well-behaved!

It’s amazing how this hummingbird seemed to know that the big dogs wouldn’t hurt them. These pooches were incredibly gentle as they attempted to investigate the unfamiliar critter. This precious video has received over 13 million views online! Commenters loved seeing these sweet animals interact.

“What an incredible moment you caught!” one user wrote. “Hummingbirds are very particular who they let get near them. That bird was obviously very comfy with those big pitbull babies.”

Another person joked that the hummingbird probably wanted to pet the dogs!

We’re not sure why this tiny creature felt so safe getting close to these two pups. Perhaps they could sense that these pooches had kind and gentle spirits. Whatever the reason, we’re so glad someone caught this once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera!
