LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a brutal round of Pup Quiz on Thursday's episode of 'The Tonight Show', Keanu Reeves and Jimmy Fallon showed each other no mercy in a world where dogs devour dogs. Even though Reeves plays notorious hitman John Wick in a side project, he didn't exactly seem deadly during the interview as he was covered with pups.

The 58-year-old actor visited the primetime talk show to speak with Fallon about his most recent film, 'John Wick: Chapter 4'. The Pup Quiz was hosted by the 'The Tonight Show' announcer, Steve Higgins, who explained that he would be asking both Reeves and Fallon animal trivia questions.

Puppy snuggles for John Wick 

The rules were rather straightforward and demanded that Reeves and Fallon separately respond to a question, and if they were right, they would get to hold a Golden Retriever puppy. Though, the puppy would be taken away and handed to their opponent if they responded incorrectly.

At the end, whomever had the most puppies was crowned the winner. The first question posed to Reeves was, "What is the sole species of reptile indigenous to Ireland?" In the Youtube video, the actor initially moaned and predicted he would be "bad" at the game, but he eventually answered that it was a "lizard" and was awarded the opportunity to hold Mr Gary Frick Jr.

Fallon rushed in and emphasized he had no desire to "take a dog away from John Wick" after realizing how the game would turn out. Yet after Fallon gave a poor response to the first question, Reeves received another pup and then two more after correctly answering a bonus round question.

Keanu Reeves was definitely winning 

Thereafter, Fallon gave another incorrect response, which resulted in more puppies for Reeves. The 'John Wick' star said, "Who's the puppy king?" at that point, holding six puppies on his lap. Once the video was put online, many people claimed the TV segment was one of the most heartwarming ones they had seen as it was overloaded with cuteness. One user remarked, "Keanu and puppies might just be too much cuteness for my eyes to handle." "I don't think I've ever seen Keanu Reeves more happy during an interview," said another.

Although Fallon hadn't technically win any puppies and was only keeping the ones that eluded Reeves, the competitors had the chance to seize all of their opponents' puppies during the Final Puppardy round. Higgins finally asked, "How many dogs were used in the making of the movie 'Air Bud'?" The pups in the candidates' arms escaped as they hurried to write their responses on an iPad.
