When a visibly tired Chris collapses on the floor, limbs all splayed out, there's some movement in the background.

Nala, who's just chilling on the coach, immediately springs into action and hurries over to his side.

After stretching out and giving the whole situation a good sniff, the handsome hound clambers all over her human and gives him the biggest hug you're likely to see.
