Did You Find The Hyenas In Lion King Scary? So Did This Little Doggie in this Viral Video

I don’t know about you, but I thought that the new Jungle Book was an unnecessarily terrifying version of the sweet, funny old musical. Same for Lion King – while the earlier animation was largely sweet and childlike, the recent remake was altogether too realistic – and scary. There is a small dog who agrees with me.

“Maya doesn't like those scary hyenas!”

This video featuring Maya was originally posted on TikTok where it swiftly went viral with over 7.3M likes. It was then posted on Twitter where also, it gained lakhs of likes.

For sure

That very real and menacing-looking Scar and the pouncing hyenas --- who wouldn’t have nightmares!

Poor doggie

A lot of people had a lot of sympathy for the little fur baby as she hightailed it out of there.

Scar is nasty!

There were many who agreed with that.

Run!

Like that.

“I’d run too”

Maybe it’s the angle of the shot but that hyena really did seem to be coming at the poor little tyke.

Laughing like a hyena

Many of the tweeple were just very amused by the little doggie’s video.

Other random cute video

…Because one good turn deserves another.

Clued-in dog

Hyenas can be quite dangerous, particularly when they hunt in packs. Maybe that doggie knows a thing or two.

Another cute doggie

There seems to be a clear mismatch between the visuals on the screen and the music but never mind that – that’s an adorable dog.

Clearly dogs do watch TV

Maybe they also have their own favourite shows, as this tweet claims. And dogs watching Lion King on TV gives us some really cute viral videos too, it would seem.
