Life can get so busy and hectic, it can be tough to take time to enjoy your surroundings and really relax. Especially right now, in the midst of the holiday season, breaks seem to be a lot fewer and far between. If you’ve had a hectic schedule lately, this is your sign to relax a little bit.
Even if you find yourself incredibly busy at the moment, you’re bound to have 20 seconds or so to devote to this incredible TikTok of a dog doing what we all wish we could: simply sitting around, enjoying a beautiful view. The TikTok was uploaded by Brooke Copeland ( @brookecopeland29 ) earlier this month and has made quite a splash online.

The short but sweet video shows River, a German shorthaired pointer, sitting on a beach’s shore, but turned to face the setting sun in the distance. That’s literally all the video has to offer, and yet it’s so incredibly wholesome and weirdly entrancing.

There’s something absolutely beautiful about a dog calmly sitting there, enjoying a beautiful view that many of us end up taking for granted. We could all learn a little something from River.
Users Simply Could Not Get Enough Of It.
It seemed as if no one had a negative thing to say, which is beautiful in itself. Some commenters wondered what River was thinking about as she sat there. Others believed she was an angel sent from above (which might actually be true).
There Was Something Weirdly Emotional About Watching This TikTok.
Plenty of commenters discussed how the short clip made them tear up. Others admitted to watching it on repeat. There’s something really wholesome about watching an animal take in the beauty of the world the same way we people would.
