There’s something just so heartwarming about watching sisterhood bloom in real time. Especially when it involves two Golden Retriever goofballs figuring out life together. In a video shared by @goldengirlpacha, Pacha, the older one, is seen lying on the living room floor. Meanwhile, tiny Bucket is sprawled on top of her like a fanny pack.
As the text flashes across the screen, “Things our dog taught our new puppy that made us realise they were destined to be sisters,” you instantly get it: this isn’t just a puppy intro — it’s the start of a full-blown sister act. Pacha’s the calm-but-scheming older sibling, while Bucket is the eager apprentice, soaking up every questionable life lesson like a little golden sponge.
Owner says Golden Retrievers were ‘destined to be sisters’ in video
No wonder the video is sitting at over 5.9K likes. It has that messy, lovable energy we all love in dog videos. It opens with Pacha demonstrating “How to howl to protect the family” — her version of a siren song by the door. Bucket rushes in to join her, letting out a sound that’s somewhere between a moo and a foghorn, but hey, it’s progress.
Then comes “How to play with the cats.” Which apparently means delivering a gentle tap that’s equal parts menace and love. Naturally, Bucket copies her — minus the menace, plus some wobbly enthusiasm.
From stealing socks (“for attention, obviously”) to cuddling a yellow pillow like it’s a soulmate, every “lesson” turns into a mini comedy sketch. As their owner writes, “I truly couldn’t picture our little family without Bucket now.”
Next, Pacha demonstrates “How to gracefully go down the stairs.” However, for a large dog, this involves a dramatic descent with a broom sliding alongside her. The video then cuts to Bucket attempting to copy her, hopping down one step at a time while holding a tub.
They wrap it up with their best trick yet: synchronized begging. Side by side at the table, working those puppy eyes like pros. As one commenter perfectly summarized: “Pacha teaching bucket everything she needs in life.” She sure is.
