A Hungarian sheepdog has taken the internet by storm after people hilariously likened the cute canine to a mop.

Seven-year-old Hanga has been compared to the cleaning tool due to her white matted fur, with her quirky looks making her a social media star with 3,500 loyal followers on Instagram.

Don't believe us? Just watch her rolling around in this adorable video:

Based in Lithuania, the adorable pup underwent life-saving surgery in the past month but her ill-health hasn't stopped her nor her owner Gintare Lietuva for showcasing her life.

Documenting their journey to raise awareness for the Komodor breed, also known as the Hungarian sheepdog, Hanga has become a viral sensation and it's not hard to see why.

Owner Gintare, who is a vet and animal groomer, said: "My love for the Hungarian sheepdog or otherwise known as the Komodor breed began when I was a little girl.

"There were always pets in my house but I spent my life dreaming about getting a Komodor.

Adding: "Their fur is so unique in comparison to any other dog breeds, and when they reach about two, that's when their dreadlocks form.

"Hanga is never hot and never gets too wet as the coat is made up of thick hard curly hair, and inside it's fine wool, like a sheep.

"It's very light and has a lot of air - the actual dreads are far from her skin meaning she has good ventilation."

And while her mop-like appearance is what first draws you, it's Hanga's quirky personality that has many gushing about her online.

Gintara explained that the Komodor breed's natural instinct is to guard livestock and other property - making Hanga fiercely loyal and protective.

She added: "She's always been different, and we had to learn a lot when we got her, about her breed and also her unique personality.

"She likes to be independent and is very protective and caring. When we go for a walk near the river, Hanga will always go for a swim.

"It doesn't matter if it's early spring, summer or fall, she still does it and I love filming it. I'll upload the best photos and videos to Facebook and Instagram and that's where we became famous."
