In a now-viral video that was originally shared by the [dog’s owner](https://time.com/collection/guide-to-happiness/4870796/dog-owners-benefits/), Aliyah Buksh, on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/B4EOS4Fg2J1/) over the weekend, an Australian Shepherd wearing an ambulance [costume](https://time.com/5681198/french-bulldog-chucky-costume/) adorably howls along with his get-up’s siren after some encouragement from his mom. “River the pawmedic is currently accepting invitations for Halloween \*sound on,\*” Buksh captioned the clip. The Halloween costume consists of a styrofoam box designed to look like an ambulance that fits over the pup’s torso and a blinking red collar that emits a siren noise. And the [video](https://twitter.com/aussiesdointhgs/status/1188872831582588929) — which has since been re-posted by the Twitter account Aussies Doing Things, liked more than 487 thousand times and retweeted nearly 126 thousand — is the perfect remedy for anyone who is healing from an illness or injury. > [](https://twitter.com/aussiesdointhgs/status/1188872831582588929) Forget modern medicine.
