You really see Daisy’s true “guard dog energy” in the lazy, in-between moments at home, which is to say, she has none. The video opens with her fast asleep on the couch, belly up and sunk deep into the cushions. She’s wearing that gravity-pulled little grin she gets when her head tilts back. It aligns perfectly with the trend where people showcase their so-called guard dogs. And @daisythegoldiee leans into the joke effortlessly. The camera first captures the Golden Retriever from the side, then switches to a head-on close-up of her mid-snooze. Then Daisy finally shifts with the irritated sigh of someone whose nap has been personally wronged by film crews.
Video shows why Golden Retriever is not a guard dog, but the ‘danger’
More than 103,000 people have already liked it, and once you watch Daisy for two seconds, you’ll understand why. The way she melts into those couch cushions pretty much tells you everything you need to know about her. And her upside-down face and smile make her look like a cartoon character drawn mid-nap.
The video begins with a slow, side-angle zoom. Daisy’s upside-down sprawl looks way more dramatic than it has any right to be. And then it cuts to a straight-on shot of her half-open mouth, those tiny teefies peeking out like they’re trying to participate in the trend. The Hans Zimmer “Reflections of Mufasa” soundtrack makes the whole moment even funnier; it’s dramatic, sweeping, and intense, yet it is used on a dog who refuses to move.
And right when you think she’s going to sleep through the whole production, Daisy gives the smallest, most begrudging roll to her side. Almost as if even she knows the camera is pushing it. Let’s just say no one’s hiring her for security anytime soon.
The comments section is basically one long inside joke: people praising her “fearsome” teeth, saying burglars would take one look and melt, and insisting she’s clearly checking the room from “all angles.” She might not be the danger, but her commitment to napping deserves an award.
