A Golden Retriever has become an overnight social media sensation, showing off his moves to Lady Gaga.

Owner Valter uploaded the first video of his dog, Mufasa, to just two days ago, and his account, @valtersantosk87, has already generated a jaw-dropping 13.8 million likes.

And it’s not surprising, as Valter’s videos show Mufasa grooving to music, in a way many people have never seen before.

In his very first, shared on January 22 and viewed over 75 million times, Mufasa is lying on the floor as a speaker beside him blasts out Lady Gaga’s 2008 megahit, Just Dance. And Mufasa just does that.

The music fills the room, and the golden sways from side to side, moving his head, back and rear in time to the music.

And it’s not a one-off, as other videos in Valter’s account prove. His most recent video, shared just hours ago, shows Mufasa lying in a different room, the speaker playing a different song, and the dog swaying along just like before.

The Lady Gaga video proved an immense hit, boasting almost 14 million likes and tens of thousands of comments, as one user joked: “When I reincarnate as a dog, I won’t say anything, but there will be signs.”

Another said the dog’s dance was like “me at a club while sitting on the chair,” and one pleaded: “Someone show this to Lady Gaga right now.”

“Who is this diva?” one asked. And another gave the humorous answer: “That’s Ladogaga.”

And as one summed it up: “Diva has TASTE.”

A study published in in 2020 found that dogs appeared calmed by classical music, and spent more time resting or lying down when the music was played.

Rock and heavy metal, however, were found to cause more barking and standing in the dogs. The study also used genres including pop and reggae.

But in Mufasa’s case, pop star Gaga clearly wins out. According to her record label, Interscope Records, Gaga has sold an estimate 170 million records, making her one of the world’s bestselling music artists.

She has won 13 Grammy Awards, as well as two Golden Globe Awards for acting in American Horror Story, and original song for 2019’s A Star Is Born.
