A video from the @goldengirlposi went viral for capturing the struggle of a puppy learning what it means to “retrieve.” The clip, posted on September 14, shows Posi, a fluffy Golden Retriever, sitting sweetly on a living room rug beside her owner. In the clip, the furry friend looked more interested in cuddles than cardio.
Owner tries to play fetch, but ‘tired’ puppy wants to do this instead
In the reel, the owner tosses a bright yellow tennis ball just a short distance and lovingly persuades his pup to chase it. When the puppy stays put, he laughs and says, “Are you too tired to play?” before giving her a soft head pat. After a long break, the puppy finally toddles toward the ball, sparking an encouraging “Good job!” from her human. But instead of grabbing it, she walks right past it, prompting the owner to follow up, “Good try.”
The video, captioned “She did her best, and to be fair, that’s a huge tennis ball! And now she is the best at fetch!!”. It features a text overlay that reads, “Trying to convince your golden retriever that she is a retriever,” and the internet can’t get enough of the irony. Since being posted, the reel has fetched over 96,000 likes, with thousands of viewers chiming in with laughter and love.
One commenter quipped, “You threw it, you get it,” while another added, “She wanted pets instead.” A third gushed, “Omg she’s such an elegant little angel. I love herrrrrrr.” Another wrote, “But Dad, I think I’m a golden sleeper.”
