Jackson, Mississippi - After this dog suffered the shock of a lifetime due to a TikTok dog prank that had the net in stitches, the shocked dog memes came rolling in my the dozen.

TikTok user DJ TJames and his beloved dog launched into the stratosphere when a video they posted last week went totally viral, racking up over 17.5 million views and 2.4 million likes in just a few days. So what's all the buzz about?

In the clip, DJ TJames shocks his canine companion by pretending to take a big bite out of its paw while they are chilling on the floor together.

The thoroughly confused pup is so shocked that it stares at its owner in utter horror. His eyes are wide open, and he's clearly terrified, as DJ TJames continues to chew.

Aside from the millions of views and likes, the video has received nearly 25,000 comments from TikTok users all over the world.

"The disbelief in his eyes were like bruh you did not," one user laughed. "OMG I thought his eyeballs were gonna pop out," wrote another.

A third put a sci-fi spin on the scene: "That dog saw into another dimension." Another commenter demanded to know "Who's gonna pay this dog's therapy bill?"

Other users were also keen to prank their dogs. One TikToker filmed himself "biting" the head of his pet monkey, who predictably reacted with just as much outrage as the TJames' dog.
