The pooch is bending over backwards to make sure the lion's teeth are clean

The Internet has just thrown this video at us, and there is little denying that watching it is truly worth one's time.

The footage shows one very brave wiener dog giving a lion a dental exam. Judging by the pooch's enthusiasm, it would appear that he has been waiting to practice his teeth cleaning abilities for quite a long time.

Luckily for the dog, the lion is ready and willing to let it clean its teeth, and shows no sings of thinking about turning the pooch's tail into dental floss.

As far as I'm concerned, there's also some romance going on between the wiener dog and the feline, and the dental exam is merely an excuse for them to be able to make out.

In fact, rumor has it it's a better love story than Twilight.
