Bacon might tempt most pups, but Winston? He won’t budge until he gets what really matters: a kiss on the forehead. In this video, the Golden Retriever pup from San Diego knows exactly what he wants, and it isn’t just the crispy, irresistible breakfast treat.
In an Instagram Reel, Winston sits on the kitchen floor, staring at the bacon. Still as a statue, but you can tell he’s full of anticipation. It’s clear he understands the rules of this particular game, and he’s not about to break them. Somehow, a simple piece of bacon creates a funny, heartwarming moment.
Owner reveals Golden Retriever will only eat once he gets a kiss in video
This incredibly sweet video of a Golden Retriever has been grabbing eyeballs on social media as of late. It starts in the kitchen. The pup, Winston, is sitting patiently on the floor. He obviously knows something yummy is coming his way.
A text overlay reveals his special habit. Winston, it seems, won’t eat his food until he gets a kiss on the head. We watch his owner try to offer him a piece of crispy bacon. The Golden wants it, but he refuses. He even turns his head away, showing his strong resolve.
The owner pulls the bacon back and tries again. Winston’s eyes are on the delicious treat. Yet, he stops himself from devouring it. He looks at his mom expectantly and even smacks his lip several times. You can almost see him thinking, “Come on, you know what I want.”
He’s holding out for the kiss that he deserves. His mom finally bends down to give his forehead a big kiss. Instantly, Winston’s eyes brighten. After some tail wags, he devours the bacon. He evidently is a very good boy.
By the time the video ends, it’s clear Winston isn’t just picky — he’s a playful, loving Golden Retriever through and through. As the caption perfectly sums up, the pup believes “forehead kisses > bacon.” Perhaps everyone knows a pet with their own quirky routine. Winston’s little demand proves how much he treasures a kiss from his human more than anything else.
