It is generally believed that hugging your favorite person is the best way to overcome anxiety, be it for humans or dogs. But for Wally, a “BIG golden retriever with BIG emotions,” hiding is the solution to this problem. In the Instagram video uploaded by @wally.meets.world, the owner shows that his pet pooch loves to hide whenever he “feels anxious.”
The clip featured Doechii’s popular song “Anxiety,” which effectively depicted Wally’s internal turmoil. The pooch is often seen hiding his face between the legs of his human friends and being ruffled at the back. The love from the owners helps to instantly calm down the anxious nerves of the canine. Looking at Wally’s reaction, many netizens took to the comment section saying their Golden Retrievers also have similar habits.
One of the users wrote, “ My baby does this haha a golden thing I think.” Another individual mentioned, “Safety!!! I need to get my husband to video all three of mine doing this. They do it at the same time together. It’s pretty neat. We practice every night before bed.” Another person also agreed and commented, “My golden does this too! She does it when she’s happy and when she wants to feel safe.”
Many of the viewers even loved the pooch’s hiding idea, with one saying Wally is “Such a sweet-pea!.” A few other users could not agree more and said he is “adorable.” The touching video has garnered more than 48k likes so far, thanks to Wally’s relatable video.
