In an adorable TikTok video, 16-year-old dog "Happy" has captured the hearts of viewers.

As Newsweek reports, Happy doesn't let his arthritis, which affects his joints, hips and back, get him down.

Quite the opposite: when there's a treat, the four-legged friend is immediately on the spot!

In the cute clip, his owner offers the dog what is presumably a rather delicious meatball.

The beaming smile on his face leaves no one indifferent, and TikTok users can't get enough of the furry friend.
