It appears to be any other day in a quiet living room when the video first begins. Someone is sitting comfortably on the couch with their arms behind their head. But as most dog owners know, it’s the kind of quiet that usually means a dog is either sleeping or plotting. And upstairs on the landing, Molly, the Golden Retriever, is very much doing the latter. She’s peeking through the railing with an orange ball in her mouth like she’s weighing her options. If you follow human @icesk8ncoach, you already know this girl has a whole personality, equal parts princess energy and harmless chaos. The setup alone tells you something is about to happen… You just don’t know what direction she’s going to take it.
Golden Retriever drops ball off balcony so people can play with her
Sure, it’s a short video, only seconds long, but over 166k people have liked it already because of Molly’s cuteness. Once the scene is set, Molly drops her ball straight through the railing. Gravity does its job, and the ball hits the man on the couch square in the chest. It then bounces onto the cushions, and the room explodes with laughter from off-camera people. Molly peeks down with the most satisfied expression, like she’s presenting Exhibit A in her case for “why you should be paying attention to me.”
The man points up at her with a mock-accusatory “YOU,” and she seems delighted to be caught. And honestly, this tracks for Molly. Her human calls her a “pretty pretty princess girl” and her “mental health stabilizer,” but this princess also has zero patience for idle humans. Playtime is a lifestyle.
There’s even an older video where she has a full-blown dramatic episode because her senior brother, Murphy, won’t throw the ball. She buzzes around the sofa, glancing between him and the toy like she’s tattling. Her human’s commentary, “She doesn’t realize he doesn’t have thumbs,” sums her up perfectly.
The comments section for this video is entirely charmed. People can’t get over her proud little grin, others swear she’s been doing this for weeks, and one person simply wrote: “Dangerous place to sit.” If you live in or plan to visit this household, this information seems accurate.
