Adorable reason little girl covers dog's ears: 'So cute'
This is the adorable moment a toddler covers the ears of a dog while villagers let off firecrackers nearby.
The cute video was filmed in the city of Gao'an in the Chinese province of Jiangxi as the nation welcomes the Year of the Tiger.
During the Lunar New Year, many residents fill streets with firecrackers and set them off simultaneously to celebrate the occasion.
The considerate toddler was filmed comforting the uncomfortable-looking dog as festivities commenced.
The youngster noticed the dog was trembling while locals lit firecrackers nearby, and she suddenly covered its ears, filling her filming mother with pride.
In the video, the girl wearing a padded pink coat is seen calmly patting the dog's head by the side of the street as the air is filled by the sound of firecrackers being set off.
She looks around and quickly places her hands over the dog's ears until the noise stops.
As soon as silence resumes, the toddler takes her hands off the pooch's ears and returns to stroking its head.
The mother explained that the young girl had always been frightened by the sound of fireworks, and every time they were let off, she covered her daughter's ears and told her 'mummy is here, don't be afraid'.
"I have to say, I think this scene is really warm and loving. I also used to be frightened by the sound of firecrackers, but here, with the dog being afraid, my daughter was so cute."
The incident has since gone viral on Chinese social media, racking up millions of views on Weibo.
"Such a loving child," one person said.
