A TikTok video captured the adorable moment the famous actress was pleasantly surprised by kisses from a dog and netizens couldn't get enough of the cute exchange.

Zendaya, 28, was recently in Budapest, Hungary, and was caught on camera stopping to greet a large group sitting on a sidewalk. During the exchange, she first sweetly waved at a dog before bending down to play with the furry animal.

Then, in a moment of excitement, the canine jumped up and licked the "Dune" star on the mouth. Zendaya pulled back in light-hearted surprise, laughing the moment off and continuing to pet the dog.

While the 13-second clip — which has since been seen over a million times at the time of publication — was set to the sound of PinkPantheress' hit single "Illegal" and Zendaya could not be heard, the warm and friendly nature of the exchange was not lost on netizens.
