Of all the things the internet could be obsessed with, a video of a Golden Retriever puppy hiccuping might not seem like the obvious choice. Yet, one tiny pup has managed to hijack everyone’s feeds and hearts with nothing more than a few involuntary squeaks and some very fluffy ears.
Owner can’t get enough of Golden Retriever puppy’s cute hiccups
The short video, posted to the Instagram account @peachycomet22, shows a tiny Golden Retriever puppy cuddled up in her owner’s arms. She looks relaxed and cozy, enjoying the attention until a series of soft, high-pitched hiccups starts to bubble up.
Each squeaky sound is followed by a little head bob, and the pup looks around, slightly confused but calm. Her dad, meanwhile, is completely smitten. You can hear the smile in his voice as he reacts to the sound. The pet parent is clearly in awe of how adorable the moment is.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the puppy’s tiny squeaks, with many saying it was the most wholesome thing they’d seen all day. “Puppy hiccups are the absolute cutest!” one person wrote, followed by rows of heart-eyed emojis.
Another chimed in, “This is so adorable.” A netizen joked, “Too much cuteness for one reel.” Some shared how the video reminded them of their own dogs as puppies, while others simply watched it on loop, mesmerized by the pure cuteness on display.
Just like in humans, canines usually get hiccups when their diaphragm suddenly contracts. It is often triggered by eating or drinking too fast, excitement, or even stress. It’s completely normal and usually nothing to worry about.
If your puppy gets hiccups frequently, try feeding smaller meals more slowly or encouraging them to stay calm after eating. Gently rubbing their belly or giving them some water may also help.
However, if the hiccups last for more than an hour or are accompanied by signs of distress, it’s always a good idea to consult your vet. For the most part, though, hiccups are just one more thing that makes these little furballs so endearing.
