It appears this adorable pup just met his favorite Disney princess.

Elijah, a Labrador and Golden Retriever mix and service dog in training, vacationed at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, with his handler in December.

The 1-year-old pup was thrilled when he got the opportunity to meet Cinderella at the Royal Hall tourist attraction at the park.

"He just loves everybody," said Elijah's handler Ashley Wilt, 19, who shared the moment on Instagram. "He immediately walked up [to Cinderella] and dropped into her lap. We call it the drop and flop."

Ashley Wilt of Colorado, shared footage of Elijah, her service dog-in-training, onto Instagram as he met Cinderella at Disneyland.

She's been working with Elijah since he was 2 months old by training and socializing him. Since Elijah has three weeks before entering advanced training, Wilt thought Disney would be a nice farewell trip.

During his visit, it's clear that Elijah won Cinderella's heart.
