"Riva will not be happy," another joked, with a third asking: "So adorable!! How'd you resist?" and one simply calling him: "Adorable!"

Many of her followers questioned why the dog didn't go to her colleague George Stephanopoulos like he'd said on the show after Jagger made an on-air appearance on GMA.

"Awe, didn't George adopt him?" one of her fans asked, with another also saying: "I thought George wanted to adopt Jagger! I guess Ali said no lol."

After Jagger was brought out to the GMA hosts, in honor of August being Dog-ust on the show, George quickly fell in love and began cuddling with him.

He then told his co-hosts Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan that was texting his family to let them know that he might bring Jagger home with them.

George was tempted to take the dog home for himself

"I can look at him, I felt it," he told them, with Michael joking: "Oh, he felt it, and it's only day two!"
