Scroll through any social media feed, and chances are you’ll find a dog doing something that makes people laugh, relate to them, or both. These short but hilarious clips have become their own form of entertainment. The latest laugh comes from a video of a Golden Retriever, whose response to his owner’s increasingly rough pets had people convinced he was politely saying, “That’s enough.”
Golden Retriever may have said ‘that’s enough’ when owner pet him too hard
Video of Finn the Golden Retriever has gone viral for his direct way of letting his owner know when he’s had enough of her pets. His mom, Tate Moseley, shared a short clip showing the pup’s reaction to being petted with increasing intensity.
At first, Finn tolerated the extra attention as he stood in front of Moseley with his usual calm demeanor. However, as each pet became more forceful, the Golden decided it was time to intervene. With perfect timing, he raised his paw and pressed it against her hand, essentially saying, “That’s enough.”
The clip, captioned “He really said ‘that’s enough,’” struck a chord with viewers and quickly spread across TikTok. In just five days, it had racked up more than 1.4 million likes and over 3K comments.
What people found most amusing was Finn’s wide-eyed expression. It made it seem as though he was both surprised and slightly offended at the escalation. Many viewers turned screenshots of his face into memes by pairing the snap with their own funny captions.
One user wrote, “Alright pal, joke’s over now,” imagining Finn’s inner dialogue. Another pointed out the obvious, remarking, “When a dog puts its paw on you it means stop.” Others praised his patience, saying, “He’s taking it just like a good boy.”
A viewer also added, “He was with you in the beginning,” suggesting that the pup had tried to go along with the game before finally drawing the line. If Finn’s viral popularity is any indication, the internet never tires of a Golden finding a very human way to express himself.
