It seems that not even shower time is off-limits when it comes to a curious puppy’s adventures. Instagram users got a hearty laugh recently when a Golden Retriever puppy — known as Murphy — demonstrated his fear of missing out (FOMO) in a hilariously relatable way. A funny video posted on the account @belleandmurphy shows the puppy dashing through the bathroom door as soon as he hears the shower start.
Puppy is curious about owner’s shower time in funny video
Murphy, the lovable Golden Retriever, has become a social media sensation for his amusingly persistent need to be involved in every aspect of his owner’s routine. In the video, the moment the shower turns on, Murphy makes a frantic run through a slightly open door, determined not to miss out. A playful text overlay reads, “Every time Murph hears me start my shower, he runs to make sure he’s not missing anything.”
Murphy’s fascination with his owner’s shower time is nothing new. In a previous video, this energetic pup decided to seize the moment and commandeer the bathtub for himself. As his owner stepped away to grab something before her shower, Murphy took advantage of the opportunity to jump into the tub. When she returned, she found him stretched over the edge of the bathtub, soaking wet, and looking confused as to why there was no more water to play in.
Golden retrievers have a natural affinity with water, and Murphy seems to embody this characteristic perfectly. Bred as hunting and retrieving dogs, they thrive in wet environments. It’s no surprise that Murphy races to his owner’s shower; his instinctual love of water combined with a touch of FOMO drives him to be part of the action.
Commenters on the video were quick to share their own experiences with their water-loving pets. One user wrote, “MY GOLDENS NAME IS MURPHY AND SHE DOES THISS!!! They are twins hahaha,” while another added, “My 6 month old golden comes into my walkin shower every time.”
