A dog named Romio has gone viral for stealing a sock straight off his baby sister’s foot in a hilarious Instagram video. User @romio_golden.paws shared the video, showing the Golden Retriever locked in on those tiny white socks while the baby bounces around in her jumper, utterly unaware of Romio’s heist. If his antics are any proof, it was probably not the last sock he would have tried to sneak off those tiny feet.
Dog stealing baby’s sock makes for an adorable video
The video starts with the dog crouched under the jumper, pressing his nose against the baby’s foot. He nudges and tugs until he finally loosens one sock. Romio’s determination is hilarious — he tries again and again, paws at the edge of the jumper, and then gets a proper grip. It is slow and sneaky, but you wouldn’t see a more committed act.
The comical narration over the video explains what’s going on in the dog’s head: “Back with another episode of stealing baby sister’s socks right off of her tootsies. These ones looked delicious, they were looking fresh and new and fluffy, and I was doing everything I could to get these bad boys off of baby sister’s fat little piggies.”
Once the Golden Retriever succeeds, he bolts. But his mom chases after him, and the narration continues, “I finally got it off, and then mom had to play chase with me, and then she was mad and told me I couldn’t have it.” Very casually, the narration ends with, “So then I attacked her,” as he suddenly leaps toward the camera.
The comment section loved every second of the show. A viewer joked about the final leap, calling it “the pounce.” Others noticed how calculated Romio seemed, with one comment reading, “Fur babies be plotting.”
Many viewers pointed out how gentle he stayed around the baby’s feet, even while trying to steal the sock, and many joked about dogs having a universal obsession with socks. The video is funny and adorable, and the dog’s mix of patience and mischief has made it a crowd favorite.
