Pet Owners Turn Their Furry Friends Into Video Game Bosses—Hilarious Memes Trending

Video games and pets are both bottomless sources of viral memes so it's no surprise that someone coined a new one by bringing the two together.

That someone? @Friskkmkay, a popular host on Twitch, the world's largest streaming platform for all things gaming.

"Post a picture of your pet as the final boss," they wrote on Twitter, along with a hilarious snap of their pup — a husky named Indie — sitting on the couch and chilling like a champ against the armrest.

And, honestly, it makes sense because video game bosses and pets both require patience, hard work, pattern recognition, and no shortage of hacks.

In any case, Pet and Gaming Twitter quickly volleyed back an array of responses at the prompt tweet, the best of which have been assembled below for your scrolling pleasure.

1. "This isn't even his final form"

2. "Good boy guarding the power-ups"

3. "Be sure to stock up on extra cans of Tunaite before enter the Chamber of the Spin Cycle."
