Adorable Dog Joins Newlyweds' First Dance

Although most people have always shown fondness for their pets, it's hard to measure up to the love and devotion people have given to the non-human members of their family in recent years.

And although cats seemed to dominate the early days of internet culture, dogs definitely have their day right now. Seeing one act so happy to do whatever it's doing can make even the gloomiest days better, so what kind of an effect would you expect one to have on an already good day?

If you answered that a dog would make it even better just like they do with everything, then you'll probably like this story.

Earlier this month, Seth and Nicole Funden celebrated their wedding in a peaceful slice of Washington state.

And this ceremony featured a very special guest that didn't surprise anybody who knew them well.

That guest was, of course, their dog Eva and their friends knew she was truly a part of the family.

As guest Selena Mercedes told The Dodo, "They both spend so much time with Eva. They take her everywhere they go."

However, even the Fundens likely wouldn't have expected Eva to become such a prominent part of their first dance.

She appeared to spring up on her hind legs and paw the couple, so they took her paws and swayed her along with them for a new type of wedding dance.

And the guests were as surprised and delighted to see it as the couple was to take part in it.

As Mercedes said, "It was the sweetest thing. I had no idea it was going to happen. It brought tears to my eyes."

She then filmed the dance and her clip appeared on Facebook.
