Let’s be honest: is there anything cuter than a dog tilting its head when it hears something unusual?

Absolutely not!

A woman named Kelsey posted a video on TikTok and showed how her dog Hippo reacted when he heard bagpipes for the first time on a street in Scotland.

Kelsey pushed Hippo in a stroller towards a man playing the bagpipes on a street.

Hippo was definitely intrigued and he tilted his head from side to side.

The video’s caption reads, “Can you tell it’s my first time?”

How cute!
