Rottweiler imitating woman’s expressions will leave you in splits. Watch

A video of a Rottweiler's interaction with its pet mom has gone viral on Instagram. The video will leave you happy too.

It's often observed that when two individuals, whether humans or animals, spend a substantial amount of time together, they can start to adopt each other's mannerisms and behaviours. In this particular instance, it appears that a Rottweiler has learned to mimic its human companion's facial expressions.

The video was shared on the Instagram page @nala_the_needy_rottie. The clip opens to show a woman telling how her pooch copies her facial expressions. She even demonstrates it. As the woman smiles in front of the dog, it too smiles. But as soon as she changes her expression and looks a bit more serious, the dog suddenly stops smiling and starts to imitate the woman.
