Golden Retrievers are famous for their playful personalities, but there is no telling when and where they switch from playful to stubborn. User @peachycomet22 on Instagram posted a video of the Golden Retriever named Comet, who uses every trick in her repertoire to delay heading home. The pup has captured the hearts of the viewers, showcasing an animated refusal to cooperate when her owners try to bring her indoors.
Instagram video shows Golden Retriever being stubborn when it’s time to go home
The video begins with the Golden Retriever calmly sitting on the grass. Her owner asks, “You didn’t really have to go potty? You just wanted to come lay down outside?”
Thus begins the standoff, with the on-screen captions capturing the dog’s supposed inner voice. The conversation between Comet and her parents escalates from casual persuasion to the pup’s continual defiance.
In the video, Comet counters every effort made by her parents to move her with dramatic resistance. When the owner approaches her to pick her up, the Golden flops down and rolls onto her back.
The parent’s persistence fails before the dog’s wit, with the on-screen caption clarifying her intentions: “Not happening.” “Go away dad! I’m busy,” says the subsequent in-video text, while Comet makes calculated moves to buy more time outside.
At one point in the video, the Golden Retriever’s dad flips her to get her back on her feet. However, there’s no winning with Comet. The dog switches tactics and playfully attacks her dad as the caption exclaims, “You’re mine now dad.”
After successfully resisting, the scene is back to square one, with Comet sitting still on the grass. When her dad tries to lift her again, she replays her strategy and rolls onto her back. On-screen captions, “Joke’s on you, dad,” and “I play ded now,” underline the Golden’s spirited defiance.
The video’s playful caption, “Mom and dad always fall for my lies,” captures the entire scene perfectly. Comet’s charm and tenacity are a delightful reminder of the joys of sharing life with a stubborn yet loving pet.
