"Right as Mufasa falls to his death, she stops and turns to the TV to watch," Myers captioned the video, which has been viewed more than 4.4 million times. "To see her crying at the TV was the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen. She even lays down right after Simba lays with his dad."

He continued: "We don't deserve dogs. 4 months old and she's already showing empathy."
