Viral Dog Transforms into Liquid, Slides Down Sofa Like a Seal

A viral sensation! A Labrador Retriever named 'El' in Japan has become an internet hit after his owner shared images of him reluctantly leaving the sofa by slowly 'flowing' down like a liquid. In the shared photos, El looks completely relaxed, his body so soft that he appears to be sliding down like a slider, with his hips still on the sofa but his upper body already touching the floor. His waist curves down, and his front paws are hidden beside his body, resembling a sea lion. His eyes look dreamy and not fully awake. The owner noted that El often descends from the sofa in this manner, likely just stretching, and has been checked by a veterinarian who confirmed he's in perfect health. The post has received over 5.6 million views on X platform. In a subsequent video, the owner showed El using the sofa to stretch, pressing his hips down and extending his body continuously, almost like doing a deliberate workout. His liquid-like movements and soft body have sparked humorous comments from netizens, such as 'Is Japan now allowing sea lions as pets?' and 'Dogs can be liquid too!'
