In a viral video on Instagram, a Golden Retriever named Pearl makes the “Simba Cam” at a baseball game. Her owner holds up the dog and shows her to the crowd. The clip displays an in-text explaining, “Took my dog to a baseball game and it became the Lion King.”
For those unversed, the paw parent mimics the scene from the film, “The Lion King,” where mandrill shaman Rafiki presents newborn lion, Simba, to the assembled crowd. Rafiki holds the baby high for everyone to witness the moment at Pride Rock.

As he faces the people, many dog owners copy Pearl’s dad and hold up their respective pets, creating an iconic moment. Meanwhile, a dialogue box displays on the clip, which delivers Pearl’s thoughts: “Stand up friends, this is our moment.” The crowd, referred to as “Pawparrazi,” cheers for the adorable pets.

It is so heart melting how proud everyone is showing his cute fur baby.” Some lauded Pearl, saying, “This is classic!
