Heartwarming or Distressing Video? Interpreting Dog Body Language

Describing this interaction as “heartwarming” is way off base

In a video of a soldier’s reunion with his family, an adorable baby and an upset dog are both in the man’s lap. The soldier is clearly ecstatic to be back with his baby girl and his dog, but the dog’s emotional state leads me to feel sorry for her. The husband and wife consider the situation amusing and the title of the linked story describes the homecoming moment as “heartwarming”. I consider it disturbing because the dog is clearly so unhappy.
