00:00 The whole Denver, our guilty dog viral video has just been something that I never expected.

00:10 We never planned it.

00:12 It was never executed to be this.

00:15 And by the time we figured out what it was, we could never catch up to it.

00:25 When Denver started with that phase, I think it was something that people never thought

00:32 an animal could do.

00:33 And let me be clear, we didn't either.

00:37 I absolutely believe she knows she's famous.

00:41 She's a star.

00:43 Hi, my name is Mally Vajanic and I am Denver's dad.

00:47 Did you get into the cat treats, Denver?

00:49 Was that you?

00:50 Oh, Denver.

00:51 Who wouldn't want to wake up and see Denver in their news feed?

00:56 I've got hundreds of thousands of private messages.

01:01 I want to make a viral video.

01:02 How do I do it?

01:03 Can you give me some advice on what I can do?

01:05 And you can.

01:08 It's hard.

01:11 It's really unpredictable.

01:12 You never know what the internet will like.

01:14 I like to say that the internet's a wild west.

01:16 More natural kind of surprising videos seem to fare better.

01:21 Good luck.

01:22 You know, if it happens, it happens.

01:23 You'll know.

01:26 She's just a big teddy bear.

01:29 I mean, really, she's so lovable and snuggles up with you like a little doll baby.

01:35 She's just amazing.

01:36 I have to tell you, as a little puppy at seven weeks old, she was a little terror.

01:42 She just bit everything.

01:43 She was a menace.

01:44 She wanted everyone's attention in the room.

01:47 But finally she broke, and that's when her personality really started to come out.

01:53 Denver's guilty video is now just over two years old.

01:56 Apparently, while I was out, somebody got into the kitty cat treats.

02:04 You obviously know that Denver is guilty and has eaten the cat treats.

02:09 Did you do this?

02:10 Denver, you won't look at me.

02:12 Who hasn't seen their dog be really sad that they did something stupid?

02:15 She's a wonderful animal, but it's like, "Okay, I can get away with it because I'm Denver."

02:21 Come here.

02:22 Let me see.

02:23 Let me see your face.

02:25 All dogs, they all go to heaven, but this dog is having a harder time getting there.

02:31 Oh my goodness, Denver, you didn't.

02:33 What you saw happen.

02:35 You did this?

02:39 I took it right to Facebook.

02:40 I put it on there, and that's when it just went crazy.

02:43 Within 10 minutes, there was 100 responses.

02:46 It just became this great thing because you could immediately understand why it was funny,

02:50 who it was funny to, but it's also universal because almost everyone has met a dog that

02:55 was probably embarrassed about what it did.

02:56 Are you sorry about it?

02:58 It's amazing that that video has 25 million views, and it continues to grow.

03:02 I think it's because we all have been there.

03:04 We've all done something bad.

03:06 We've all felt really guilty.

03:08 I think it's us connecting with animals.

03:10 Denver's video, right before we went on national television with it, had been shared like a

03:15 million times on Facebook.

03:17 I think the things that really become viral and really have this exciting energy that

03:23 really makes you want to go and share it with everyone you know is almost unexpected.

03:29 It took off.

03:30 I mean, it genuinely took off.

03:31 It was purely social media that got that going.

03:35 When you don't expect to have an immediate reaction from it, and you do, that is like

03:43 internet gold.

03:44 It's one of those magical moments where you have no explanation, but the planet's all

03:50 lined up.

03:51 I think when things naturally happen, and there's just that energy of being like, "OMG,

03:58 I want to share that to everyone," that's almost like when it becomes like an epidemic.

04:01 The number of views on Denver's video right now, I believe, on YouTube is about 24 million.

04:06 It's this weird thing where an animal will become popular because it's put in a media

04:11 context that just fits it perfectly.

04:12 It's like this great match, and then people can just go nuts.

04:16 The fact that she has so many fans just blows me away.

04:19 I mean, I've got 600.

04:21 She has 56,000.

04:22 When it comes to social media, she's in it.

04:26 We've had this video touch people in ways that it's beyond what we ever imagined.

04:35 The impact has just been paramount.

04:39 At some point, 25 years from now, somebody's going to say, "Remember that dog video?

04:45 Remember that?

04:46 It's still going to be on YouTube.

04:47 It's not going anywhere."

04:50 They leave a lasting impression.
