Here’s Jax, a Golden Retriever who really loves water and has a way of making everyday things funny. In this Instagram video, he’s caught mid-shower, happily lapping up the running water like it’s the yummiest drink he’s ever had. The text on screen, “I turned on my shower and came back to this,” perfectly captures his human’s mix of surprise and amusement.
Water splashes over his golden fur, drips into his eyes, and somehow doesn’t faze him in the slightest. Jax is completely focused on his goal. It’s unclear whether he’s drinking, playing, or just enjoying the moment, but the outcome is undeniably cute.
Golden Retriever can’t stop drinking water in the shower in cute Instagram video
With over 12k likes, it’s clear that people are loving Jax’s water, or rather, hydration obsession. The clip starts with him standing directly under the showerhead. He’s drinking water straight from the running water while his human exclaims, “dude, oh my gosh.” Jax’s positioning makes the moment even funnier. He’s standing fully under the spray, soaking himself while completely committed to drinking. It almost looks like he’s getting himself ready for a bath!
When his mom asks him to move, saying “C’mon,” he doesn’t budge, returning to drink again, as if the shower is the ultimate water bowl. And because of the way he’s standing under the shower, water streams into his eyes and nose, but he keeps going until a sudden wheeze signals he’s had enough. His human asks, concerned, “You okay?” to which she immediately adds, “That’ll do it.” The excessive water drinking definitely caught up with him. It’s such a harmless mischief that no dog parent can stay mad at him.
Fans flooded the comments with delight: “Tell me this pup loves water without telling me this pup loves water,” “Just a little sippy sip,” “He’s so adorable,” and “Who needs a water bowl when you have a shower?” And when one viewer commented, “Goldens are the funniest creatures,” we found ourselves wholly agreeing.
