A Golden Retriever has gone viral for his hilariously creative way of asking for treats, and it’s leaving TikTok users in stitches. The clever pup doesn’t bark or beg like most dogs. Instead, he’s figured out a unique “paw signal” that gets his message across loud and clear.
The viral clip was posted on Loofy’s TikTok page, @loofy_golden, where he has built a dedicated fan base of 11.8K followers and over 540K likes. His bio reads, “Hi! I’m Loofy! I’m a 4-year-old golden retriever, livin my best life.”
Golden Retriever demands cookies this way in viral TikTok video
The now-viral TikTok video captures the dog looking up to the refrigerator before lifting a paw and deliberately scratching the door. The owner quickly intervenes, asking, “Excuse me, what are you doing? Loof, stop.” The text on the video reads, “When Loof wants a cookie.” Within seconds, the owner can be heard laughing in the background, saying, “No? Hey! Stop! This is what he does when he wants a cookie.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments, turning Loofy into an instant TikTok sensation. One user wrote, “That technique is paw-fect,” while another joked, “You give that pretty baby a cookie or I’m contacting the authorities.” Another fan laughed, “You give him all the cookies or else I’m calling paw patrol.” One commented, “What a great name! loof the golden floof.”
Golden Retrievers rank among the world’s most popular dog breeds — and it’s easy to see why. Known for their gentle nature and affectionate personalities, they make ideal family pets, particularly in homes with children. Their intelligence and eagerness to please have also made them exceptional guide dogs, therapy companions, and search-and-rescue partners. Bred in the Scottish Highlands in the 19th century, Golden Retrievers were originally developed as sporting dogs trained to retrieve game on both land and water, which explains their love for swimming and fetching.
