What Golden Retriever Murphy filmed with a GoPro camera on his back not only leaves his mom speechless in retrospect, but has also been going viral on TikTok since this week.

The quirky clip shows that the dog has a knack for capturing great angles.

He begins his work with a shot from several yards away so that both his owners and the location are clearly visible.

When the ring comes into play, the furry friend skilfully moves closer to the couple, capturing his owner's enthusiasm and smile.

As soon as the 27-year-old jumps for joy, Murphy takes off, too.

The perfect ending follows with an intimate embrace, filmed from a distance, with the sea and sunset on the horizon.

Could a professional have done it better? It almost doesn't matter: the special circumstances give the video its uniqueness.

Newsweek has now also followed up on the viral video and wants to find out more details from the newly engaged couple.

"Every couple has their own path, and ours led us to this time and this proposal," Emily explained.

"We've been together since we were 14, and for a long time, neither of us really wanted a wedding or marriage. We both come from families where marriage didn't always work out, and that shaped our thinking early on," she added.

"But as we've grown up together, we've realized we're not our parents. We're us, and I wouldn't change anything about our story."

Emily had no idea that she would be proposed to that evening – Jacob told her that Murphy was supposed to take the GoPro footage because he wanted to share it with a photographer friend!

The cinematic result that Murphy delivered in the end took the bride-to-be's breath away.

"I couldn't have imagined anything more special, and I feel incredibly lucky to have a partner who knows me so well," she said.

"That video is a keepsake I'll always hold close. I never would've pictured something like that for myself, but now I can't imagine it any other way."
