Dogs and treats go together like peanut butter and jelly. Most pups can’t hide their excitement when a favorite snack is involved. Their reactions can be funny, surprising, or downright goofy, showing off personalities that make them endlessly lovable. One recent video on Instagram has captured a Golden Retriever in a particularly hilarious moment, leaving viewers laughing at his adorable antics after receiving a treat.
Instagram video shows Golden Retriever reacting to getting treat
Chili, the Golden Retriever, recently went viral on Instagram after being caught on video in a particularly funny moment while enjoying a treat. The clip, filmed by his owner on their porch, shows the pup receiving a large piece of jerky. Excited and proud, he grabs the treat in his mouth, ready to enjoy it. However, what happens next quickly turns into a funny spectacle.
As he turns to leave, Chili seems to lose all sense of spatial awareness. Instead of walking freely, he awkwardly drags the jerky along the wall. It is almost as if he is unsure of how to maneuver his oversized prize.
His owner jokingly remarks in the onscreen caption that the pup “lost all his brain cells for a second there.” The combination of his excitement, determination to hold onto the jerky, and temporary confusion created a moment that viewers found both endearing and comical.
One viewer commented, “It’s just such a lorge and unexpected treat.” Another joked, “Just making some music for ya,” referencing the clattering sound of the treat scraping along the wall.
A third noted, “Same brain cells that make him think he is a lap dog,” poking fun at Chili’s tendency to act much smaller than his size. One playful fan also said, “Glitch in the matrix… and he’s back,” likening the Golden’s momentary confusion to a funny video game or movie moment.
