A resurfaced of video of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) made the rounds on social media following National Love Your Pet Day.

In a short clip, the then-congressional candidate is seen being playfully tackled by a dog on the street while sitting down on a phone call last summer.

Ocasio-Cortez could then be seen laughing while still on the phone as the dog attempts to lick her face.

One tweet featuring the video has gone on to garner more than 300,000 views in the several hours since it was uploaded on Thursday afternoon.

I don't ever remember seeing a bulldog that large! Is it possible AOC is actually very, very wee? Doggy seems to like her.

That she was putting up with it says a lot about her as well.

I know she ruffles the feathers of the establishment stalwarts around here but she’s the real deal - a politician more concerned with the greater good than her own wellbeing.

7. One of the best tweets ever!

My Aunt Lorraine grew 'em that big. They powered a neat dog cart for the kids in the neighborhood. Massive and as gentle as rain.

8. She loves dogs, the dog obviously loves her.

That tells me a whole lot about her, and I like it.

9. More constituents should take on their elected representatives like this

It looks like a very effective tactic.
