If Mark Zuckerberg's dog could ?? ??? ??grasp the concepts of marketing and technology, he'd probably object to his starring role in Facebook's latest video. But alas, Beast is just a cute Silicon Valley dog, and so here we are.

To celebrate Beast's 6th birthday -- HBD, li'l guy -- Facebook made an Oculus employee 3D-print a miniature version of the unofficial company dog.

Zuckerberg posted the video to his page on Tuesday:

It is, in essence, an ad for Oculus Medium, a new VR product that Facebook touts as a tool for artists and creators. To show off the product's capabilities, the video follows an Oculus artist as he designs a mini version of the dog (a white Puli) before sending it to print in Facebook's hardware lab.

"Beast was pretty confused, but I love that we have the technology and culture where people just make things like this for fun," Zuckerberg wrote. "And I think it's pretty good!"

This isn't the first time Facebook marketing has worked Zuckerberg's personal life into video content. In December, the CEO shared a tongue-in-cheek video introducing the world to the homemade AI assistant -- voiced by none other than Morgan Freeman -- he built for his family.
