Golden Retrievers are one of the most expressive dog breeds. They will immediately let the owners know what’s making them happy and what’s not through their facial expressions. Even this golden pooch expresses his feelings every time the pet parent stops petting him. The Golden Retrievers’ petting video not only left the dog mom amused, but even the netizens could not get enough of his reaction.
Golden Retriever whines when the petting stops in adorable video
Golden Retrievers love it when their hooman friends pet them or give them belly rubs. Take this golden pooch named Zebby, for instance. The “squishiest boy” feels calm and relaxed when his dog mom fondles him. But what does he do when the petting stops? The fur baby whines and expresses his displeasure at his hooman’s actions.
The video, uploaded on @zebbythegolden, shows the POV of the pet parent when she “stops petting” her “golden retriever for 2 seconds.” And let’s say, Zebby is indeed very expressive. The moment the petting stops, the fur baby turns into a “sad boy” and looks away, as if asking mom, “why did you stop???”
But when the owner gently strokes him again, the little pup’s face brightens up. With tongue sticking out and smiling, the pooch instantly becomes one “happy boy,” showing he loves being caressed by the dog mom. The immediate change in his reaction made pet lovers fall in love with Zebby all over again.
Many netizens voiced for Zebby and his thought process in the comments. One user wrote for the pooch, “Oh, my goodness…you mean…YOU STOPPED? what were you thinking? ahhh, now that’s better…. King Zebby loves that…” While another dog lover mentioned, “Why did you stop woman.” Another user commented, “Get busy hooman- you know what you should be doing.” The cute clip of the Golden Retriever and his petting reaction has so far fetched more than 16K likes at the time of writing.
