Dog goes viral on TikTok for his emotional reaction to watching 'The Lion King'

Have you ever wondered what your pet was thinking?

For Gabrielle Pelfrey, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, it's apparently easy to tell since her beagle, Winston, often shows his emotions.

Pelfrey adopted Winston six years ago when he was eight weeks old and for as long as she could remember, the pup has always been her "sensitive little guy," she told Fox News Digital.

Winston's sensitive side specifically comes out when he's watching certain movies.

When Winston was a puppy, he was recovering from a sickness and Pelfrey would sit by his side with the TV on.

That's when Pelfrey started to notice that Winston would engage with what was being shown on the screen, she said.

The movie that truly sparked a reaction from the pup was Disney's 2019 live-action version of "The Lion King," and Pelfrey captured the humorous moment.

In the now-viral video, which garnered more than 7.5 million views on Pelfrey's page, @winston_thebeagle, Winston appears to grow sad during some of the heartbreaking scenes in the film.

Winston was also captured barking at the movie's villain, to the point when Pelfrey had to hold him back from jumping at the screen.

Social media users commented on the TikTok video, with some saying they can relate to Winston's response to the movie.

"It’s the holding him back from attacking Scar for me," one user wrote, to which Pelfrey replied, "He was set on ripping the screen right off the wall."

"We’ll never know just how aware our dogs are," another TikTok user commented.

"Exactly how we watch the movie too," said a comment posted from the Disney TikTok account.

For Pelfrey, Winston's fascination was very normal, but after posting videos on TikTok, she started to realize that not everyone's dogs did the same thing as her beagle.

Pelfrey said she first told her dad about Winston's funny response to movies, and he did not believe her until he witnessed it himself.

Since then, she has loved recording Winston's reactions and sharing them with her friends and family and now, on TikTok.

"The Lion King" is not the only movie that appeals to Winston — he loves "101 "Dalmations", "Beethoven", "The Grinch", "Moana" and "Homeward Bound," Pelfrey said.

"'Homeward Bound' is one of his favorites. He always loses it at the end…It seems like he gets more emotional, I guess, or has a bigger response if it is live action," she added.

Pelfrey said that Winston also has the ability to pick up on her emotions and offers her comfort.

"If I come home, and it's a bad day for work, he just curls up next to me," Pelfrey said. "He's just very intuitive. He's a special guy."

Pelfrey said she is happy that Winston is able to spread joy to people just as he does for her and her husband.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined.

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward.
