We then see a baby lying on a mattress on the floor, alongside his cute Pomeranian dog.

The pooch is seen to be demonstrating how to crawl along the mattress, while the baby watches and imitates the movements of doggo. At one point in the 18-second-long clip, the pooch approaches the baby to express affection and encouragement as he guides the child along.
