Chihuahua enjoys sunshine, captivating TikTok audience

A woman in Newport Beach shared a viral TikTok video that is making people online laugh. The video shows a Chihuahua enjoying the sunshine with its head out of a car window. The dog is seen closing its eyes and soaking in the warmth, with the caption saying "No thoughts." Many dog owners can relate to this behavior. Dr. Lindsay Bisset explains that dogs often bask in the sun because it helps regulate their body rhythms and boosts their mood. Sunshine can release serotonin, which helps dogs feel better. However, too much sun is not good for them. Veterinarian Dr. Jess Kirk warns that dogs can get sunburned, especially on areas like their noses and ears. Overexposure to sunlight can also lead to serious health problems like skin cancer and heatstroke. Signs of heatstroke include heavy panting, vomiting, and weakness. The TikTok clip has gained immense popularity, with over 10.6 million views and 2.1 million likes. Users commented on how much they relate to the dog's peaceful moment in the sun. One user wrote, “Sun's out, seasonal depression wearing off,” while another said, “Trying to imagine something better than this is literally impossible.”
