There is an unadulterated joyous energy that takes over a dog when they realize their absolute favorite moment of the day is about to happen: food time. And that’s exactly the vibe in the kitchen in this video from @loofythegolden.
It starts with a close look at Loofy’s bowl, all prepped and ready to go, and then the camera swings to him — standing there like he’s been waiting for this moment all afternoon. The Golden Retriever‘s paws do this tiny hop-in-place dance routine the second he realizes the bowl is on the move. Even following his mom’s steps for step, as if he’s helping escort the meal to its destination.
Golden Retriever gets ready to eat with a little dancy dance in adorable video
The best part is how well everything is synchronized. Loofy’s mom lifts the bowl off the counter and asks, “Are you ready to eat?” and he immediately answers with that wiggly little dance. It’s not wild or frantic — just a bouncy, hopeful shuffle Golden Retrievers seem to have perfected. She walks toward his feeding stand, and he mirrors every stride. Tail swishing like it’s trying to keep time with the beat in his head.
Halfway there, she pauses and tells him to sit. He drops into position right away, still behaving himself, eyes locked on the bowl. She jokes that “the whole internet thinks I’m starving you by not giving you cookies,” and honestly, Loofy doesn’t help his case — he looks like a dog who could win an Oscar for “Most Convincingly Hungry.”
Once the bowl finally hits the stand, she gives him a quick scritch. And he dives in with the enthusiasm of someone who’s been waiting hours, not minutes. It’s no wonder the video has racked up 8.9k likes. The whole thing is just sweet, simple joy, wrapped in one dinner dance.
The comments agree: “GOOODBOOOOOOOY,” “He is adorable!!,” and our favorite — “I thank you my hooman for my food with a little dance.” It fits him perfectly.
