"My husband was checking on our oldest daughter while we were at work, and this song was playing in the background," she wrote. The song was Kendrick Lamar's "Humble," and their dog appeared to be listening to it intently. At one point, the pet pooch even appeared to take instruction from the rapper's lyrics.

Previous research has highlighted the positive impact music can have on our canine companions. In 2017, a study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior monitored behavioral and physiological changes in dogs when listening to different genres of music. Researchers found that dogs appeared to experience a decrease in stress when music was played and responded especially well to soft rock and reggae.

Despite this, the study stressed that each dog had their own specific tastes. For the dog featured in the video posted by @sisterx3apparel, an account linked to a Michigan-based clothing store of the same name, rap appeared to be his favorite genre.

He certainly seemed to be listening to Kendrick Lamar intently. At one point in the song, which is audible on the video, the rapper can be heard repeatedly saying, "Sit down."

It's a command the canine has probably heard countless times, though not in this context. Nevertheless, as the video shows, he was happy to adhere to it, sitting down on the carpet as the track continued.

The reaction has proven popular, with the clip garnering over 17 million views and thousands of comments from impressed dog lovers.

"He is a certified good boy," one user wrote.

"The dog really humble, big respect!" a second person commented with a third saying: "when Kendrick speaks you listen."

Another commenter said: "Song hit so hard he had to sit down."

This isn't the first time a dog's reaction to music has gone viral.

In March, a dachshund owner left the internet in stitches after revealing how her pup, Noah, started singing his heart out while she was trying to get her baby to fall asleep.

Elsewhere, another canine ended up stealing the limelight after gate-crashing a dance routine with his own reaction to the music. Then there was the pet pooch who had an extraordinary reaction to hearing his owner play the harmonica for the first time.
