A hilarious and heartwarming video proving that Golden Retrievers truly live life with no apologies is winning over dog lovers everywhere. Shared by Instagram account @thegolden.doug, the clip captures Doug, an irresistibly cute Golden Retriever, doing all the things he absolutely does not regret, and fans are loving every second of it.
Owner shows Golden Retriever doing things without regret in video
The video opens with playful text overlay reading “10 things my Golden Retriever has zero regrets about,” then launches into a rapid-fire montage of Doug being unapologetically Doug. From rolling enthusiastically in questionable places and getting completely soaked to chasing every stick in sight, Doug shows no hesitation or remorse.
Other clips showcase his habit of sleeping in the most awkward positions, shedding nonstop, waking his owner at 5 a.m. with a sock, and dropping slobbery toys into unsuspecting laps. The montage ends with two Golden Retriever staples: judgmental stares and an endless demand for attention.
The video perfectly reflects why Golden Retrievers are so adored: they are messy, loving, dramatic, loyal, and completely comfortable being themselves. Doug’s expressive eyes and carefree attitude turn everyday dog behavior into pure entertainment.
Viewers quickly flooded the comments with love. One user wrote, “Those eyes are so majestic!! He is so, so cute.” Another added, “Goldens are the best, simply put. I’m on my third and wouldn’t have it any other way.” One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “He has an amazing life!” One commented, “Mine has no regrets eating two entire bags of coffee beans and a bag of marshmallows in the same sitting.”
