One moment, your furry sidekick is bursting with endless energy, zooming around like they’ve had five espressos. However, the very next second, they’re acting like the laziest beings alive — always when you least expect it. This Chocolate Labrador, too tired to climb uphill, pulled a similar antic with his dog owner, and obviously, they had to work their way around the situation.
Owners carry Labrador uphill in viral Instagram video
Pets have two moods — they’re either beaming with unstoppable energy or have activated their complete shutdown mode, usually flipping the switch when you need the opposite. But this absolutely darling Instagram video, which went viral for all the right reasons, proved that the Labrador’s owners didn’t mind when it became a little too tiring for their pooch to climb up the hill. Instead, they worked around the situation, turning it into an irresistibly cute moment.
In the clip, Gus Gus and his parents appeared to be returning from the beach when they faced a daring challenge — walking up the hill. Suddenly, the floof thought it was the right time to hit the snooze button on his parents, who “overestimated the hill” for him. What happened next was too precious for this world but seemed like something every pet owner would do for their sweet baby.
With a level of cuteness that should come with a warning label, the video then showed the owners carrying the Lab in their arms as they climbed uphill. They each took turns to hold him like the baby that he is. In the meantime, Gus Gus looked like he didn’t have a care in the world as his paws flopped and his parents did all the heavy lifting.
Commenters could barely contain their excitement as they dropped their sweet remarks for the Lab. “The paw flopping is killin me!!” one user highlighted, while another claimed they watched the video “like 10 times in a row.” It didn’t come as a surprise for a third individual, who wrote, “Of course he’s a chocolate.”
