Comet’s tug-of-war with his grandpa in the video is no exception to Golden Retrievers’ tendency to be unexpectedly playful. The video shows the dog’s stubbornness in grabbing the newspaper between his teeth, refusing to let go of it.
The video begins with the grandpa holding Comet while the other owner records the dog’s antics. There is but one goal, convincing Comet to release the newspaper. However, the dog wouldn’t budge. He holds one end of the newspaper tightly between his teeth despite his owners’ constant attempts at prying it away from his grasp.
The tongue-in-cheek caption explains Comet’s noble intention in “helping” his grandpa, “Helping grandpa read the newspaper.” Finally, grandpa manages to retrieve the bulk of the newspaper. Even so, the Golden Retriever retains bits between his teeth, creating a humorous scene, but the owner carefully removes them and lets Comet out of his grip.
Comet’s “help” reading the newspaper charmed viewers, who took to the comment section to pour their love on Comet. One wrote, “So helpful,” while another quipped, “Awe such a sweet helper.” A third user drew comparisons to their own pet, writing, “Your dog has a paper fetish like my cat.”
The Golden Retriever’s behavior reflects a combination of breed instincts, playfulness, and a desire for social interaction. It helps him create a memorable moment with his owners, proving there’s nothing better than a goofy pet to keep oneself entertained.
