The bond between dogs and kids is priceless. To reiterate the point, an Instagram video shows a Golden Retriever, Skylar, who cannot hold her excitement when she reunites with her toddler best friend. The reunion also brings joy to the kid, Shalom, as he cannot contain his excited shrieking voice. Explaining the familiar emotion in the caption, the owner wrote, “Nothing beats coming home to your best friend.”
Every little thing done by a puppy is a precious little moment for their owners. The pet parents can’t get enough of their cute furry babies. This particular owner is in complete awe of how their adorable Golden Retriever puppy named Hugo gets ready for a peaceful nap time. The owner went on to capture the entire moment and took to Instagram to post the video on April 3 through the account @maui_thegoldenpup.
If dogs could write rulebooks, games like hide and seek would look very different. Subtlety? Optional. Patience? Rare. Barking to give away your position? Absolutely required. That’s the level of logic on display in a side-splitting video of one Golden Retriever who redefines hide and seek in his own not-so-stealthy way.
For all the expensive toys and fancy pet gadgets on the market, some canines would still rather play with a plastic bottle or dig in the laundry basket. Then there are dogs like Sadie, a Golden Retriever puppy, who has discovered her own version of treasure: a bowl of ice cubes. Not only does she love it, she treats it like it’s the highlight of her entire week — and thanks to a well-timed video, so does the rest of the internet.
Life with dogs means watching them try to make sense of the weird things humans do, like staring into glowing rectangles that beep and buzz for no clear reason. While some dogs ignore it all in favor of treats or belly rubs, others take a more investigative approach. One video of a Golden Retriever’s hilarious reaction to hearing and seeing a phone alarm for the first time has just become the internet’s favorite moment of the week.
The line between pet parent and actual parent has never been blurrier, and let’s be honest, we’re totally here for it. These days, we treat dogs like tiny, furry humans, so it’s no surprise that their bedtime routines are just as elaborate and thoughtful as those of real babies. An Instagram video shows just that, as a rescue dog gets the toddler treatment from his owner.
Witnessing dogs’ friendship with other animals and birds is truly heartwarming. In one such Instagram video, a Golden Retriever named Maya helps with babysitting three orphaned geese. Under her parents’ supervision, the furbaby takes care of the birds from a very young age. In the clip, the owner captures a day in Maya’s life, taking care of the newest family members.
We’ve all had those mornings when you’re hoping for a cozy sleep-in, but someone in the house is already annoyed you didn’t stick to the plan. For one dog owner, that someone was her pup, Moose. The chocolate Labrador threw an adorably crabby tantrum after she skipped his walk, and the video of his melodramatic response is giving people major “moody roommate” energy.
Providing a comfortable and loving home to rescue dogs is a blessing. In a recent Instagram video, the bond between an owner and his rescue dog named Cactus is melting hearts. The paw parent indulges in a fun banter with his pet as he copies the pooch’s actions. Explaining their activity, a line on the clip reads, “Seeing rescue puppy’s reaction to mimicking his every move.”
If you’ve ever doubted your dog’s influential capabilities, you have clearly underestimated them. People often consider their pets as furry babies and let them act like elder siblings to their kids, who naturally pick up habits from them. An adorable Instagram video showing a Golden Retriever accidentally teaching a baby dog sounds establishes this theory beyond a shadow of doubt. A mom wondered why her daughter made strange noises until she heard her pooch making similar sounds and connected the dots.
