Mom tries out VR, ends up cuddling a doggy butt IRL

While experiencing the thrills of virtual reality, this mom got a bit overwhelmed and reached for her dog to comfort her.

Unfortunately, the VR headset prevented her from seeing the dog, which means she grabbed the wrong end and wound up nuzzling her face into a cute, little doggy booty for a minute.

As the confused dog hangs upside down and the women unknowingly strokes its tush, it's nearly impossible not to burst out laughing along with the woman's family members.

Thank you, VR headset. We needed this wholesome moment of joy to distract us from the usual internet dread that's just part of the bargain when you exist on Earth in 2017.
