A dad and a dog have touched the nation's hearts after they were both captured wearing matching 'cones of shame' on camera.
The TikTok -famous pup, Good Boy Ollie, was filmed sitting on the sofa alongside his dad after having surgery on his eye.
In a bid to make Ollie "feel less lonely", his dad sported a pink cone around his neck while attempting to sip a cup of tea.
Ollie's owner, Alex Morgan, posted the amusing video of her family on TikTok, captioned: "Is it just my dad?"
She titled the uplifting clip : "Not my dad wearing a cone to make my dog feel less lonely after his surgery", then said: "I swear it's always the dads who didn't want a dog that end up loving them the most".
