Some say retail therapy works wonders for the soul — and clearly, that applies to more than just humans. After all, there’s something universally joyful about browsing, picking out what you love, and walking away knowing someone else is footing the bill. On an adorable and funny Instagram video, Daisy, a fluffy Golden Retriever, really lives by this saying. This girl isn’t just looking at things; she’s making decisions, enjoying the process, and letting her dad handle the checkout counter. If that’s not self-care, we don’t know what is.
Golden Retriever picks her treat and waits for dad to pay for it in video
Going by the number of likes on this video, shopping seems to be a universal favourite pastime. At the start of the clip, we see Daisy already in the pet aisle, nose to the ground and happily browsing. Her human sets the tone: “I don’t rush her. This is her Sephora.” True to form, Daisy takes her time. Shelf after shelf, basket after basket, everything gets a thorough inspection. Very carefully, she sniffs, contemplates, and moves on. Her process would put even the most seasoned shoppers to shame.
Eventually, she finds what she’s after. With confidence, Daisy plucks a treat from the basket and carefully sets it down in front of her human. The text on screen seals the moment: “Girlie picked out what she wants, waiting for dad to pay for it.” It’s clear that she knows how families work, and she’s happy to be the one who chooses instead of the one who pays.
The grand finale? Daisy happily chomping on some free samples. Because let’s be honest, no shopping trip is complete without them. With over 18,000 likes, viewers can’t get enough. Comments poured in — one person joked, “What else are dads for??” while another quipped, “Like dad at the hardware store.”
Daisy isn’t just shopping; she’s reminding us all that retail therapy should never be rushed — especially when treats are involved.
