People have fallen in love with the movie because Cooper used his own dog,
Charlie, in it.
And the winner of the prize for the best good boy in a movie is... Dog of
Bradley Cooper.
In his feature film debut, "A Star is Born," Cooper cast his real-life dog,
Charlie, to play the role of the dog Jack and his on-screen girlfriend Ally
(Lady Gaga) share.
Although Jack and Ally don't have children in the film, Cooper told People
earlier this month that Charlie is "part of their story" in the same way
that a kid would be. Charlie appears in a number of emotionally charged
situations throughout the whole film.
People on Twitter are raving over the dog, proving that he is a real acting
pro.

However, despite the fact that this specific movie still has been widely
shared, Cooper's dog isn't the pup in this scene:

For the movie's breakout actor, all the praise for Charlie has been like a
giant collective belly rub.

Cooper, 43, was given the inaugural Compassion in Film Award by People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which applauded Cooper for the
casting.
According to a press statement from PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange,
"Bradley Cooper's joyful, cute, and much-loved puppy takes the stage — and
viewers' hearts — in this movie because it's obvious that he liked being
with his real-life 'dad'." "PETA hopes that Cooper's gracious choice
establishes a precedent for all of Hollywood to follow because we have seen
so much cruelty and mistreatment of dogs, both on and off set."
