It starts with a simple sniff. Luca, a golden-coated mischief maker with that trademark glint in his eyes, spots a mini watermelon just sitting on the floor. To most of us, it’s a summer snack. To him, though, it looks suspiciously like the perfect toy. Immediately, he grabs it in his mouth while his human keeps the camera rolling. The funniest part of the video? He doesn’t just carry it — he parades with it. In the reflection of a nearby mirror, the Golden Retriever locks eyes with his human, tail wagging, as if to say, “Don’t mind me, I’ll just be taking this elsewhere.”

The caption nails it: “A snack stealing a snack.” And that’s exactly what unfolds. With the watermelon wedged tightly in his jaws, Luca walks past his mom, giving her the side-eye throughout. Then he trots past the dining table and bumps into Lola, who is standing in the way. Lola can’t help but throw a classic sibling look toward their human, as if tattling, “Do you see what he’s got in his mouth?”
Luca isn’t fazed. He glances slyly out of the corner of his eye, picks up speed, and marches past her. When he finally reaches his bed, the “heist” feels complete. He puts one tentative paw on his bed and looks over his shoulder, as if he’s expecting his mom to take away his “ball.” But then he put the other paw in and climbed in more confidently, making sure the prized watermelon never leaves his grip. When he finally sits, he shoots a look that’s half smug, half puzzled — like he’s only just noticed his ‘ball’ won’t bounce.
The clip’s already pulled in 6.7k likes, with plenty of viewers cracking up over Luca’s sneaky stunt. One viewer commented, “I’m so impressed that he can pick it up.” Another joke from Luca’s perspective: “Mahm dis bol iz a bit heavier dan I ezpected.” And somehow, he still managed to strut off with it like it was light as a tennis ball.
