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.
Pet parents know that their furry babies are afraid of going to the barber’s or getting a trim – that and bath time. But this little puppy, a tiny Golden Retriever from California, appeared extremely enthusiastic about his first haircut in an adorable Instagram video that has since gone viral and charmed many. The pup named Hugo sat on the salon chair, almost looking like an adult, behaving himself, and trying to stay still while the barber faked chopping his fur. We can fairly deduce that this new adventure was a “great success.”
It’s not every day that dogs get to celebrate their human dads in a very special way. So, when Father’s Day arrived, two adorable Golden Retrievers named Brooklyn and Stanley were all set to surprise their dad with “paw-signed” cards. The human mom of the two canines, Penny France, helped them sign the cards using their cute little paws. The pet parent also captured the entire experience and shared the video on Instagram jointly through her own account, @pennyfrance, and the dogs’ official account, @stanleyandbrooklyn, on June 16. Since then, the video has garnered a lot of positive attention. It has received more than 3K views as of now.
Anyone who’s lived with a dog knows they are excellent at passive-aggressively staring at you until you do what they want. However, some pups skip the drama and go straight for nuance. One video making waves on Instagram proves that with just a flick of the brow, a Golden Retriever can speak volumes, and it’s honestly kind of impressive.
Dogs are called man’s best friend, but they are also often friendly with other animals. To provide an apt example, an Instagram video shows how a Golden Retriever named Baker attracts all kinds of animals. In the caption, the adorable and gentle pooch is referred to as “A real life Disney Prince.”
Leaving your dog behind is probably the most difficult part about going on a trip, and the sense of being left behind could be felt by the pooches as well. So was the case with Marley the Golden Retriever, who appeared visibly sad after finding his dad packing a suitcase. The video showed the dog with eyes full of silent sorrow, pleading to tag along. Little did he know that his owner had a surprise planned for him all along, proving that he wouldn’t turn his back on a brother, not in a million years.
