Stunned by the video, netizens took over the comment section. One Twitter user wrote, "i am totally inspired . my Pug has habit of doing this ..aukad ke bahar pet labradors,pet rotwellers se pange lene ki.n he manages to scare wid his growling Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that matters". Another person wrote, "just a question which popped up in my mind... are Gir Lions less attacking by nature as compared to African lions coz in all the videos i see them they seem lazy & haven’t seen any hunting videos of them??? just a layman’s question". Tweeples can be seen retweeting the video with their own caption.
