A video of a dog seemingly whining the instrumental hook from Britney Spears’ hit “Toxic” has gone viral since appearing on social media on Friday.
Matt Hardin of Arkansas tweeted a clip of his 3-year-old dog Riley and captioned it: “Is it just me or does Riley sound like he’s singing toxic by Britney Spears?”
The video has since been retweeted more than 160,000 times and has been viewed more than 4.3 million times.
In a YouTube video message, Hardin recalled the moment he realized Riley was channeling Spears’ 2003 hit.
“I looked at him and I was like, ‘Riley, you just sang Britney Spears.’ He runs and jumps into my lap, so I guess he knew he was serving vocals, that he was being a true legend in that moment.”
Hardin said he doesn’t think Spears has seen the video yet but, if she does, “I’m probably going to pass out and immediately just drop dead right then and there.”
