An early-morning Golden Retriever camping clip is warming the Instagram feeds this week. Adventure filmmaker Andrew Muse filmed his dog, Kicker, from a rooftop tent as the sky glowed over autumn hills.
Posted on September 24, the reel shows a sleepy snuggle, a head scratch, and a slow pan to the sunrise. The golden leaves mirror the canine’s coat while a soft track, credited as “alixe • September,” plays in the post. The camping video neatly captures why some people choose to bring their furry friends outdoors.
Owner and Golden Retriever watch breathtaking sunrise from tent while camping in great outdoors
Recently, Andrew Muse and his six-year-old Golden Retriever, Kicker, shared a calm sunrise from a rooftop tent. The owner recorded the fall scene on a camping trip and posted it on Instagram last month. The view opens over a mountain meadow and yellow aspens. The post’s caption notes he finally camped in a spot he scouted weeks earlier. He films beside Kicker, then turns the lens toward distant ridgelines as light spreads.
The reel opens with Kicker tucked at the tent’s edge, nose peeking into the chill. His tail thumps against the bedding. Muse scratches his head and murmurs, “yeah, sweet dog,” before easing the camera forward. The frame glides past Kicker to reveal pink sky and layered peaks. The golden hour deepens while the gentle “alixe • September” audio carries the moment. Kicker slips back into the corner of the frame as the sunrise settles.
Muse calls Kicker “the cutest most snuggly dog” in his caption. Kicker’s profile, @kickerdogmuse, describes him as a “6-Year-Old Adventure Pup” who explores with his dad. The video quickly drew brand shout-outs and heart-eyes from fans.
Netizens couldn’t help but gush over Kicker and the quiet sunrise moment. One commenter wrote, “Doesn’t get better than this.” Another chimed in, “Goldens are the best travel companions!”. A viewer noticed the bond, adding, “The way he looks at you.” A user quipped, “Look at that view (we’re talking about the pup).” Curious followers asked, “Where is it?,” while another summed it up, “Looks like heaven for both of you.”
