Video: Golden Retrievers’ Style of Asking for Attention Is Wildly Different

Dogs know how to grab their humans’ attention in the quirkiest ways possible, and one won’t be able to get over them easily. Whether it’s for pets or meal time, every canine has its ways to divert anyone’s focus. A recent post on social media compares the behavior of two dogs of the same breed. The video showcases Golden Retrievers having different ways to ask for their owner’s attention.

Owner shows the difference between boy and girl Golden Retrievers asking for attention

A user named @gamjamypotato took to their Instagram recently to share an adorable clip of their fluffy duo, Gamja and Chippie. The profile managed by the dog parent is dedicated to the unmissable moments of the dogs. In the latest video, viewers see Golden Retrievers’ ways of seeking attention from their owners. The human explains the stark difference between the female Golden Gamja and the boy Chippie.

The reel begins with Chippie repeatedly coming closer to his human. He moves his paws, warmly embraces his parent, and rests on her belly to get their attention. However, the girl dog Gamja is the completely opposite of her male counterpart. She is relaxing on every corner of the house and cutely moves her tail. We see Gamja lying down in the hall to watch television or looking out the window while the tail wagging continues. Additionally, the pooch adorably stares at her parent to let her read her mind and give her some attention.

For the unaware, Golden Retrievers, male and female, exhibit stark differences in temperament. While the males are more energetic and playful, the females tend to be calmer and nurturing. This is why Gamja and Chippe have polar opposite ways of getting attention.

At the time of writing, this adorable video has gained over 20k views and more than 1k likes. Users reacted to the reel with one writing, “You can have all my attention, chip!!.” Another one noted, “Gamja in the most adorable way ever is like, ‘Mom, I’m the queen of this house and you must come to me to give me love and attention!”
