Sometimes, the funniest pet videos don’t involve tricks, costumes, or elaborate setups. They come from the ordinary, everyday moments when a dog decides to do something completely unnecessary but absolutely hilarious. In a new video, a Golden Retriever named Chester has proven exactly that with his newfound love of turning a baby gate into his personal snout rest.
Golden Retriever squeezes snout through baby gate in cute Instagram video
Chester’s owner recently shared a compilation video on Instagram, showcasing Chester’s habit of pressing his face against the baby gate and using the bars as a resting spot. To add a fun twist, she decided to rate his “drama” on a scale of one to ten, and the results had viewers hooked.
The video begins with Chester gently slipping his snout between the rails, a move his owner labeled as a “1” on the drama scale. A few scenes later, he pushes his nose in further, earning himself a “3.” By the time the counter reaches “6,” Chester’s entire face is squished between the bars, yet he seems perfectly comfortable, if not slightly amused.
The moment that stole the clip, however, came when Chester not only lodged his snout in the rails but also dozed off with his tongue hanging out. That display scored an “11,” with his owner joking in the caption that Chester “loves a good chin perch! And a bit of drama.”
Fans poured into the comments, each adding their own punchline to Chester’s performance. One fan admitted, “11 is what did it for me.” Another wrote, “They get better and better,” noting how each clip seemed funnier than the last. Someone else sympathized with Chester’s predicament: “Oh someone just open the gate! I can’t stand the torture!” Meanwhile, another commenter got creative with humor, comparing Chester’s still, concentrated expression to a tech update, writing, “Chester is installing new software.”
