If you know Boojeaux, you know how obsessed he is with his babies. The moment his mom asks, “Is it baby time?” the Golden Retriever grips his soft toy in his mouth and lets out a full-throated warble — the kind that proves he cannot think straight when it comes to his baby chicks. It is basically a “yes” that he uses his entire body for, just a sign that he is dripping with joy. Instagram user @dojeauxcreamgoldens shared the video, showing the dog going from a worried nanny to a gentle babysitter for his little babies, who have no resemblance to him whatsoever.
Golden Retriever gently watches over his tiny baby chicks after meeting them
By the time the Golden Retriever’s mom says “Okay!” and the baby chicks appear, Boojeaux has already forgotten his toy forgotten on the floor as the tiny fluffballs toddle around and over him — and the dog happily lets them.
It is almost magical how gentle and patient the dog is after the titular scream. One moment, he is howling like his life depends on it, and the next, he is lying perfectly still while a chick climbs up on his paw. Boojeaux just basks in the moment, watching them like a giant guardian hen. The on-screen caption says, “The joy that these babies bring him is insane!” and he radiates that joy through the screen, especially with the way his temperament changes.
Those watching cannot get enough of this unexpected bond. One commenter transcribed the whole exchange perfectly, writing, “Is it baby time? ‘Mrrrrruuuyaaaaaaaaaaaaas,’” and many agreed by liking the comment. Another confessed, “Okay, so I watched this like 10 times just to hear his answer.” Meanwhile, a third viewer got a little poetic, commenting, “I’m 100% convinced that dogs are just angels sent from Heaven for us to have in our lives.”
By the end of the video, the Golden Retriever proves that it is he and his baby chicks against the world.
