The tiny Yorkshire Terrier, named Godzilla, is seen standing on his human’s belly. Soon, the tiny dog gracefully leaps off, using the belly as a springboard. The video’s caption reassures viewers, saying “Don’t worry, baby and belly are okay.” 

Due to the heightened sense of smell possessed by canines, Godzilla likely knows his human is pregnant. He may sense a different smell but not understand what is changing. However, some dogs may become extra protective of their humans during this time. 

Viewers of the viral TikTok video joked that the Yorkshire terrier and baby had already formed a bond. “They playing a game,” one person wrote. Another said, “The baby helped him get a little extra lift there didn’t it lol.” The video has received over 200,000 likes on TikTok.
