A golden retriever from California has melted hearts among social media users after a video of him rescuing his sister went viral on TikTok.
In the moving clip, shared on Sunday under the username @gamjamypotato, Chippie can be seen rescuing his sister after realizing she was in trouble.
Gamja, also a golden retriever, was hiding under the coffee table when she got stuck. As soon as he realized, Chippie immediately went to the rescue, trying to dig her out and grab her paw, as layover text in the clip reads: "I'll never let go."
In the end, Chippie manages to successfully show his sister how to slowly back out of the narrow space, getting her out and back to safety.
"Better than Jack and Rose," says the caption.

The poster, Yuni, told Newsweek that Gamja has always loved sleeping under the coffee table since she was a tiny pup, and while back then she fit perfectly, she doesn't anymore now that she's bigger, although she still thinks she fits.
"She somehow always finds a way to tuck herself in, even if half of her body sticks out! Usually, she knows exactly how to wiggle out on her own, but this time... Chippie was standing by, ready to rescue his sister," Yuni said.
While some dogs can form incredibly strong bonds with their fellow canines, others may not really enjoy other dogs' presence. But how can you tell the difference?
According to leading dog-sitting website, Rover, when your pup loves another dog they will show four main signs that will give it away.
First, they'll be wagging their tail when they're around them. They will also play games together like tug of war or roughhousing. Another big tell-tale sign is physical touch, like cuddling on the couch together.
And last but not least, they'll just hang out together, purely because they enjoy each other's company.
The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 355,600 views and 40,800 likes on the platform.
One user, Adventures of Alfie and Maddie, commented: "Oh the kisses of reassurance at the end."
Nikki J McFarlane Author said: "Rose would have said, sorry there's nothing I can do."
Emmy Iggy added: "James Cameron can't compete with this. No way, no how."
