After the video had the desired effect, Haberman took to Twitter again : "Saturday was a terrible day. Sunday was a terrible day. But on Saturday, I took a video of a funny dog, and on Sunday, I decided to share it. That dog video now has over a million views, which means on these terrible days, I got to make a million people smile."
Twitter users flooded in with videos and photos of their own dogs, sparking a tidal wave of warm fuzzies.
Haberman was thanked for playing a part in lifting the mood of a nation: "That dog has no idea how badly we need her right now,' one person wrote.
Another commented: "The internet is a crazy thing. Thanks for sharing, this warmed many hearts."
