Moreover, netizens couldn’t get enough of his adorable antics and showered him with some love in the comments section.
Golden Retriever has a unique use for cooling mat in cute video
Golden Retriever Maverick unknowingly shared a smart hack that would be effective for dogs struggling with the summer heat. In an Instagram video on the account @maverickthegoldennn, the dog’s mom captured him using a cooling mat in a rather unique way. The canine wrapped the mat over his head and used it as a blanket, forgetting that the object’s original purpose was to lie on it.
The video began with Maverick wearing the blue cooling mat over his head, proudly showcasing his new style. The owner revealed that the Golden Retriever turned the mat into a “cooling blankie.” She then shared a close-up of the canine with the mat, sharing that the pads on either side of the mat felt like “actual ice.” Throughout the owner’s dialogue, the dog smiled with his tongue out, clearly impressed with himself for coming up with the idea.
The owner proceeded to tell fans and followers that Maverick was trying to “cool off” by wrapping himself in the “cooling blankie.” She then said to him, “You feel better? You’re supposed to lay on it, but you’re refusing to lay on it. So we’ll put it as a blankie.” The canine’s expressions were proof enough that the mat might eventually become a permanent blanket.
Meanwhile, netizens took to the comments section to applaud Maverick’s unique idea. Some defended his choice, calling the mat a “cooling blankie.” A few others adored the dog in the blanket, calling him a “cartoon character” or a “cuddle bug.” As of now, the video has over 528K likes, marking another viral moment in Maverick’s life.
