Social media users have fallen in love with Luna Ophelia, a rescued pit bull. Luna’s owner posted a video of her emotional reaction to Mufasa’s death in the Disney animated movie “The Lion King.” According to the post, Josh Myers said that Luna was playing with her toys when the scene came on television.

“Just as Simba fell to his death, Luna stopped playing and started paying attention to the movie,” Myers said. “Watching her crying as Simba finds his father’s body was the sweetest thing I have ever seen.”

Luna was one of 12 puppies born in a Tennessee foster home to a stray named Melon. The puppies were taken to a shelter where Luna was adopted by Myers and his girlfriend, Hannah Huddleston. In the video, Luna watches intently as Simba comes to his father and whines noticeably when Simba cannot get his father to wake up. When Simba lies down to cry, Luna does the same, lowering her head as if she too is grief-stricken.

Luna’s Video Goes Viral

The dog has struck a cord with social media users as the comments indicate.

“I have never had any reaction to this scene and look at this dog, I am clearly alien,” eclectic relaxation posted. Kianashanice wrote that she almost cried watching the dog watch the scene.

Crystal w/ a k was concerned that the dog would not understand that it was just a movie.

“The way his head popped up when Scar appeared,” she wrote. “He was into this movie. I hope you explained to him after that it’s just a movie.”
