Recently, a viral clip on Twitter warmed the hearts of dog lovers on the micro-blogging site. While it is not uncommon to see clips of puppies and cute dogs online, what made this particular video stand out was the setting in which it took place.

The 18-second clip, which happened to take place in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament, saw a dog rush into the mats as the grapplers competed. The original clip shared by ‘Sportscenter’ claimed that the puppy was hilariously trying to protect its owner. Former UFC champ Charles Oliveira too retweeted the clip, much to the amazement of his followers. His fans also couldn’t help but react to the sweet moment that displayed the love shared between a pet and its owner.

His ardent followers and fans too joined in as they enjoyed the brief yet extremely cute clip.
