A humorous yet common truth about dogs’ behavior suggests that they only love things they shouldn’t or that are off-limits to them. Perhaps it’s a common aspect of human nature as well. You always want the things you can’t have because the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. Canines share the same beliefs, and this Instagram video lists things a Golden Retriever puppy named Rusty loves, but shouldn’t. For them, a simple “no” can trigger a lifelong mission to achieve something their parents told them not to take.
Instagram video shows how Golden Retriever sometimes loves things he should stay away from
Dogs are infamous for being curious, and there’s no hiding things from them, especially when it’s food. They have probably already sniffed it from a mile away. The more you try to guard something, the more intriguing it becomes for them. They love the chase that comes with it. Every time you say “no” when they grab something forbidden, the reaction creates a pattern, and the cycle goes on forever. So, when this Golden Retriever puppy is told to stay away, he instinctively wants it, as seen in this cute video.
Rusty’s owner listed things he loves but should stay away from, including his favorite ice cream and stuffing himself into the tiniest spots. The first couple of moments were enough to help viewers understand the extent of his disregard for limits and the word “no.” Making it clear that the pup loves to nibble on a cycle pedal, the clip moved on to the first thing on the list. “Sitting in places he shouldn’t,” the in-video text read, adding that if he fits, he sits. Second in line were naps so good that he wakes up confused about the world.
The Golden Retriever puppy’s video then showed him battling his giant-sized dog father as the next off-limits thing. This often resulted in his dad putting him in air jail. Rusty also has a strange fascination with fire. He loves ice cream, even if the latter gives him the “chompies and tongue shivers.” In addition, the pup is drawn toward trying new hairstyles, but most of all his “napping chair.” His other interests include baseball, especially the Arizona Diamondbacks, shoes, his big brother Ollie, and playing with random things that are not his toys.
