Not every day do you see a dog eager to jump into a plumbing project, but that is exactly what happened in a funny TikTok video that has charmed audiences across the internet. Albert, a Golden Retriever, took it upon himself to provide his version of assistance to a plumber busy at work under a kitchen sink.
TikTok video of Golden Retriever helping with a plumbing job goes viral
The TikTok clip — shared by user @hubertthegoldenretriever — features Albert, the curious and friendly Golden Retriever, who decided that a plumber’s visit to his owner Fie Mortensen’s home was an opportunity not to be missed. As the plumber focused on completing an “important installation” under the sink, Albert seized the moment to join him, ignoring the fact that his help was not needed. Unbothered by the cramped conditions, Albert squeezed into the cabinet, his face coming eye to eye with the bemused plumber.
Mortensen, the dog’s owner, explained that the plumber was already familiar with Albert and his canine sibling. Therefore, the unexpected involvement was met with amusement rather than frustration. “Albert, the dog that is on the video, loves everyone and is very curious always,” Mortensen told Newsweek. “He always wants to be part of what you’re doing.”
In the video, the plumber seamlessly balances his work while indulging Albert’s affectionate interruptions. The eager pup, encouraged by the attention, inches even closer — eventually perching himself almost entirely on the plumber’s lap.
Since the video’s release, it has garnered over 37.7K likes, and 375 comments as of Friday. Viewers on TikTok were quick to share their interpretations of Albert’s involvement. One user joked, “The dog is bringing his tools. The plumber couldn’t have done it without the dog’s help.” Another stated, “All household repairmen require at least 1 golden. I think its in the union contract.”
