This is cuteness overload! These three dogs clearly love each other and hamming it up for the cameras. Their owners, Vanessa and Rafael, live in Cologne, Germany, and run a blog dedicated to their lives with the three hounds named Mojo, Rana, and Mateo.

The dogs did not begin their lives full of so much love for one another, however. Mojo spent time with two different families before finding his forever home with Rafael and Vanessa.

Vanessa describes her dogs in her blog. Rana is from Portugal, and her southern temperament proves it! Vanessa also has Portuguese roots, so the two get along just fine. Mateo, who is the happy one, was rescued from Crete and has a missing paw. The three are lucky to have found a loving home with Rafael and Vanessa.

Vanessa and Rafael's blog covers the dogs' collective cuteness while going about their lives. They talk about living and traveling with the three canines. It also offers tips and advice on training, including a section on "free-shaping," a type of training in which positive reinforcement is used and the dogs teach themselves.

The blog also covers some of the aspects of living with a disabled dog. Hint: it really isn't much different than living with a regular dog! However, the most impressive, and most interesting, part of their blog has been the dogs' copy-cat behavior.

One of their most popular videos on Instagram and TikTok is a 50-second clip of the three dogs looking at a picture of themselves on a mobile phone and repeating the pose for their audience.

Though most viewers' comments were of a positive nature including, "OMG so cute dogs" and "How is this possible? Very smart dogs," there were some skeptics in the crowd. Many thought the video used the "rewind" feature, or it was otherwise manipulated. 

According to Daily Mail, Rafael and Vanessa politely and simply replied: "Don't want to hurt your feelings, but you're wrong lol." 

The short video clip has gained over 1.5 million "likes" and over 10 million views. This officially makes the adorable dog trio, with over 75,000 followers, an internet sensation. Check out the video and you will totally understand why.
