A Golden Retriever named Zebby went through a rollercoaster of emotions when his owner stopped petting him in an Instagram video. The canine, with his adorable actions, made it clear that no matter the case, if you start to pet, you don’t stop. Fans and followers couldn’t get enough of the dog’s cuteness and supported his stance in the comments section.
Owner captures Golden Retriever’s dramatic side in Instagram video
If you think dogs aren’t dramatic, stop petting them and see what happens. Golden Retriever Zebby’s owner gave it a good old try, attempting for the sake of the argument, but instantly regretted their actions. An Instagram video from the account @zebbythegolden captured the dog showcasing his dramatic side to his parent after they briefly held back on petting him.
The video began with Zebby lying comfortably on his bed, all ready to receive his owner’s pets. The dog parent gently began rubbing the canine’s paws before abruptly retreating their hand. The Golden Retriever was taken aback by their owner’s sudden decision, but decided to fight back the only way he knew how. He looked at the owner for a split second before whimping and breathing loudly to get his parent’s attention.
The owner didn’t let Zebby showcase his disapproval for too long and began petting the dog back. As soon as the canine realized the pets were back, he smiled and got comfortable again. In the caption, the owner said, “The golden retriever tantrums are real.”
Meanwhile, fans and fellow dog parents were clear about their love for Zebby. They jokingly scolded the owner for stopping their pets midway. One said, “You’re not allowed to stop petting.” However, some recognized the dog’s dramatic side, with one scoring his tantrums a “12/10.” A few other Golden Retriever parents shared similar petting stories.
