Everyone has that one friend who steals the spotlight on a night out with their charm. But what if that friend has four paws and a wagging tail? Meet Finn, a Golden Retriever who’s become the life of his mom’s social circle after a video showed him living his best life during a weekend hangout.
Video shows Golden Retriever’s fun Saturday outing with mom and her ‘gals’
Finn, an English Cream Golden Retriever, is already beloved by his owner, a San Francisco resident named Courtney Pardini. Now he’s captured plenty of new fans online thanks to a clip showing him enjoying a “Saturday Funday” alongside his mom and her girlfriends. In the video, Finn is seen propped up at a bar, standing tall on his hind legs while resting his front paws on the counter. His tail wags nonstop as if he’s waiting for his turn like any other customer.
Before long, his patience pays off. The bartender hands him a treat, which Finn happily accepts, earning laughs and coos from everyone nearby. A caption across the screen reads, “pov: you’re a golden retriever and your mom takes you out for a little Saturday funday.” The clip also shows one of Pardini’s friends reaching over to give Finn a scratch on the head.
Pardini herself shared that Finn “loves a Saturday out with the gals,” and the video makes it easy to believe. His friendly demeanor, paired with that signature wagging tail, shows how comfortable he is being part of the group. It’s not unusual for Golden Retrievers to crave this type of social environment. They thrive on interaction and are often happiest when included in family activities.
One viewer commented, “Thank you for the quick pan to the wagging tail — didn’t know I needed it but I did lol.” Another chimed in with, “My dog does the same in Italy,” suggesting Finn has some international counterparts in bar etiquette. Someone else teased, “Awwww Finn! Get a beer boy!” while another summed it up by calling him the “best customer ever.”
