Cheeku, the newest and cutest member of the Jackson family, starts this video looking ready for a big milestone. He’s sitting on the front yard grass with his tiny harness, and that eager bounce puppies get. The account that posted it, @goldencheekuboy, notes that this Golden Retriever puppy is meeting little humans, a boy and a girl, for the first time, which already sets the stage for chaos in the cutest way. The video also shows that kindness is a natural instinct for some furry friends. It looks like he purposefully made himself small to help the children feel big and brave.
Golden Retriever knows little boy got hurt when he fell, so he rolls down too
The puppy, who belongs to a first-time dog mom documenting his adventures online, clearly wanted to make friends. He just needed a second to figure these tiny humans out first. When the video opens, we see Cheeku looking towards the driveway as a toy car arrives with two very excited kids.
The little boy runs over as soon as his mom puts him down on the ground. Cheeku actually takes a few unsure steps back because he is a bit scared at first. He is just a baby himself and doesn’t yet know how to greet these energetic small humans. Dad eventually brings the toddler back over so the pair can try their greeting one more time.
This time, the Golden Retriever puppy is way more curious about the little boy. He stands there sniffing and licking while the little boy stands giggling at the ticklish puppy kisses. In the in-video caption, his owner notes that he is being extra gentle because he knows they are babies too. There is no formal training involved here. It is just a pure heart that understands how to love.
The most heartwarming scene happens when the child accidentally trips and falls onto the grass. Cheeku does not get spooked, but instead rolls down right next to him. It really looks like he is telling the toddler that they are in this together. He does not understand the mechanics of the fall, but he knows how to provide immediate comfort.
The clip has already earned hundreds of likes from fans who think he is the sweetest soul. He even watches the little girl wave goodbye as they head back to their car.
