There’s something especially entertaining about watching a dog fully slip into her princess-treatment era. In the same vein, a recent video shows a Golden Retriever named Honey going viral for her undeniably sassy reaction after dropping her toy off the couch. The adorable moment was shared on Instagram by @honey.thegoldenn, a page featuring the sweet Golden Retriever who has gained over 2.2K followers.
The Golden Retriever wants to get the toy he dropped, so he gets ‘sassy’
The video opens with Honey lounging comfortably on a fluffy blanket, cozy and content. Suddenly, her orange toy slips off the couch and lands on the floor. Instead of hopping down to retrieve it, Honey freezes, staring at the lost toy with wide, offended eyes. The text overlay reads, “POV: your spoiled & vocal golden retriever dropped her toy.”
In the clip, Honey shifts her gaze from the toy to her owner and back again, making it obvious that she expects someone else to pick it up. As her owner films, Honey becomes even more expressive. She nudges her paw forward, scoots closer to the edge of the couch, and then pulls back with attitude — clearly refusing to do it herself. Each time the camera zooms in, Honey throws another judgment-filled look at her human, fully embracing her spoiled, diva-like energy. The video’s caption reads, “The sass is unreal.”
The clip ends with Honey letting out what sounds like a soft grumble, still refusing to fetch the toy herself. Fans in the comments were quick to relate, noting that Goldens can be the world’s most dramatic comedians. One viewer wrote, “She definitely said ‘I’m not doing that.’” Another added, “Princess treatment at its finest! ” One user commented, “Honey’s like ‘get it, mom. I can’t reach,’” while the other user wrote, “And honey has ‘retriever’ as a skill in her CV?”
