Social media star MrBeast barked up just the right tree for his latest massive YouTube endeavor.

For his newest video, the mega-popular content creator built a massive dog sanctuary to help rescue 100 dogs who had been "abandoned or rescued from kill shelters."

The complex built by MrBeast's team featured a litany of employees including "an entire team dedicated to giving the dogs scratches," but on the fourth day of operation, they needed to enlist some extra muscle.

Enter Guardians of the Galaxy and Dune star Dave Bautista.

The wrestler-turned-actor, who is the owner of four rescue dogs himself, was immediately put to work by MrBeast and his team.

As hidden cameras watched along, Bautista was tasked with barking like a dog as a group of prospective owners entered the facility and was even tricked into holding up a "I Hate Guardians of the Galaxy" sign for the bemused group.

Once the fun and games were over, however, Bautista formed a bond with a dog named Doralee.

"I have a dog named Penny, and she reminds me of her so much," Bautista said. "So it's already feeling like we're connected. I hate seeing her without a home. It's killing me."

Bautista vowed to adopt Doralee if she wasn't able to find a home, and when the dog became the final pooch left unadopted, it looked like that might be the case.

At the last minute, though, a man — who was given Bautista's seal of approval via FaceTime — walked through the door to adopt Doralee.

Ultimately, MrBeast and his team worked to find homes for every single dog at the facility and, in its first two days of release, the celebratory video has already been viewed more than 55 million times.
