You know the kind of tired where the only option is for you to plop down and surrender to the world. In a video shared by @huntermygolden, this three-month-old Golden Retriever puppy shows us exactly that. It is clear that he’s had enough exploring for one day — he simply folds himself into a perfect little puddle on the floor.
One second, he’s sitting up, blinking slowly like he’s doing the math on whether to move again. Next, he just melts onto the floor. The pup looks absolutely adorable doing it, which makes you want to drop everything and go hug your own dog. Honestly, as his mom’s caption says, he is “the cutest,” and she’s not wrong.
Video captures how Golden Retriever puppy plops down every time he’s tired
Who can resist a sleepy pup doing the world’s gentlest face-plant? The video opens with Hunter, the Golden Retriever puppy, sitting in the living room.
He’s giving a little look around before flopping down and tucking his face between his paws. Taylor Swift’s “Actually Romantic” plays in the background. And somehow, it fits perfectly — soft, slow, and hopelessly endearing.
At just a few months old, Hunter is still figuring out how to puppy properly. He’s learning about mirrors, tiptoeing around vacuums, and testing his courage on stairs. His human says he follows her everywhere — to the shower, during meals, and even at work — then jumps into bed at 5 a.m. because he’s too excited to start the day.
When he’s not busy shadowing her, he’s bringing over toys or dozing beside her bed. He just wants to be close to her. That is when he slowly plops down, because he couldn’t stay seated after spending all his energy on doing things that puppies do.
The video has just crossed 900 likes, but it feels like it is destined for many more. The comments section is full of heart emojis — which is exactly the right response to this tiny, sleepy ray of sunshine.
