Dog owners can always rely on their furry friends to make them feel loved, and this is perfectly demonstrated by one woman who owns five loyal Pomeranians.

They may be small, but these pets have a big heart —as least they do for Sandra, 30, but not so much her partner Andre, 31. In a hilarious experiment shared to Instagram account @missyminzi, the German couple can be seen sitting on the sofa with their five dogs in between them. First, Andre leaves the room and the dogs barely bat an eyelid. Then Sandra gets up, and her furry friends follow closely behind.

So far, the clip captioned "Who is the spare human in your family? Mom or dad? " has racked up 5.8 million views in just two days.

While the adorable clip has melted thousands of hearts, many users can't help but laugh at the dog on the lower part of the couch with a darker coat as he struggles to get off—unlike his cream companions.

This is because four-year-old Murphy was adopted in a wheelchair due to a neurological condition in puppies, present from birth, called cerebellar hypoplasia. The American Kennel Club explains that the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for controlling balance, coordination, posture, and fine motor skills, is affected, leading to mobility issues.

One user wrote: "The last one was like, "wait, don't leave me here with him," and another added, "that doggy fighting for dear life to get out of the sofa."

Despite all being adopted by the couple, it looks like they have an obvious favorite. Nick Horniman, a veterinary surgeon, previously told Newsweek that a dog's desire to be near its owner is a sign of love.

"This behavior shows that your dog feels comfortable and secure in your presence and prefers your company over being alone," Horniman said.

However, that isn't the only sign that indicates you are your dog's favorite person. Newsweek has also reported a list of tell-tale signs, which include:

• They wiggle at you
• They keep eye contact with you
• They rub their face on yours
• They want to sleep near you

But there is no need for owners to worry as Kait Hembree, veterinary behavior nurse and head of training and behavior specialist at GoodPup, previously told Newsweek how to become your dog's favorite.

She explained that the special bond with your pet can develop through various positive interactions or experiences, such as feeding them, offering treats, playing, taking walks or hikes together, and giving plenty of affection.
