Hudson, the Golden Retriever, lives the NYC dog life to the fullest — big smiles, dramatic sploots, and strong main-character energy on @hudsonbegood. But apparently, being the “Goodest Boy” doesn’t mean you’re automatically thrilled when a brand-new human shows up. In a throwback video, Hudson decided to do what older siblings do best — remind mom which child showed up first. It is a hilarious look at the reality of life with a dog who isn’t quite ready to share the spotlight yet, especially when there are cute hats involved.
Video shows dog doing this to remind mom that he is still her first child
The video opens on a tight shot of a sleeping baby, completely unaware of what’s about to happen. Hudson is right there, his nose almost touching the baby’s red and white woolen hat. At first, it feels protective — and then you notice Hudson’s gaze drifting straight to the pom-pom. Despite his mom repeatedly telling him “no,” Hudson gently grabs the top of the hat. Somehow, he manages the grab without waking the baby at all, which honestly feels like a skill he’s perfected.
Eventually, he goes for it and pulls the hat right off the infant’s head. The baby doesn’t react at all. And Hudson hops onto the couch with his trophy, looking totally unbothered by his mom’s warnings. Even when she tries to take it back, Hudson holds on with a sheepish but firm resolve.
On his brother’s birthday, Hudson joked from his own POV: “Sorry not sorry little bro… I love stealing your hats.” Nothing about it feels malicious. It just feels like a reminder… from someone who’s been around longer.
The comment section is full of people rooting for Hudson, and the video’s already passed 32,000 likes. One commenter pointed out that these unscripted moments are always the funniest to look back on. Others joked that the baby will probably be stealing Hudson’s toys in a few years, so it is only fair that the dog gets a head start. Fair enough.
