Golden Retriever Oswald seems to have found the person who perfectly matches his heart. In a sweet Instagram video, the red retriever walks beside his mom, Arielle, during a quiet outdoor moment. The clip frames their bond through everything they both love, from walks and stuffed animals to eating, being outside, and never wanting to be alone. The account’s caption kept it simple with a teary-eyed emoji and a heart.
Golden Retriever and mom have so much in common, they’re just like soulmates
The video was shared by the Instagram account @oswald.thegolden, which follows Oswald, a Golden Retriever from Charleston, South Carolina. His profile describes him as a red retriever and names his mom through the account information. In the reel, Oswald walks beside her on a sunny path while the on-screen text builds a gentle list of similarities. It reads, “i love going on walks, he loves going on walks,” before adding that both love stuffed animals, food, and being outside.
The sweetest line comes when Arielle wrote in the onscreen captions, “I don’t like to be alone, he doesn’t like to be alone.” That detail turns the short video into something more emotional than a simple walk. Oswald does not just follow his mom around. The clip suggests he understands her rhythm and wants to stay close through it all.
The background audio adds another soft layer. It uses the nostalgic “we’ll always be friends forever” sound from The Fox and the Hound. In that scene, Copper asks, “We’ll always be friends forever, won’t we?” and Tod answers, “Yeah. Forever.” Paired with Oswald’s steady walk, the audio makes the bond feel like a childhood promise.
Fans loved the soulmate energy in the comments. One wrote, “HEHEH its so true!!! mommy ? me.” Another added, “Match made in HEAVEN.” A third said, “Built in best friend ?.” Someone else summed it up with, “Soul matess?❤️❤️.” For Oswald and his mom, the reel shows a friendship that looks less accidental and more like fate.
