A viral video of a pet dog has captured its reaction to Hanuman Chalisa, a popular Hindu prayer.
The German Shepherd, identified as Ragnar, was resting on the floor when its owner started playing some songs on the television.
While he initially didn’t respond to the audio, he stood up when the prayer song played on the screen. The clip recorded the doggy ‘singing’ the prayer.
The video opened showing Ragnar casually lying on the floor under the television. When its owner switched on the device and played songs on it, the animal chose to not react.
The doggo didn’t even show interest in the beats until the devotional song was played.
Instagrammer and pet parent Shiv Shankar played SRK’s ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ song from the film ‘Dunki’, followed by the Kailash Kher-sung Shiva song ‘Bam Lahiri’.
Ragnar stayed unaffected by these compositions. He continued to rest on the floor without showing any movement towards the music.
Seconds later, the clip captured the dog’s reaction to Hanuman Chalisa. When the pet parent played this prayer on the television, Ragnar immediately raised its neck and recreated it in his voice.
The clip has gone viral on social media with over a million likes and 11 million plays.
