A sweet new video going viral online shows that Golden Retrievers may be loving, but they can also be very protective of their share of affection, especially when Grandma is involved. The clip captures a hilarious, heart-melting moment when a group of Golden Retrievers watches closely as their sibling soaks up all of Grandma’s kisses.
Golden Retrievers look as grandma kisses sibling in video
The video opens with Grandma leaning in to shower one pup, Skye, with hugs and kisses. Skye, a Great Pyrenees, happily accepts the attention, leaning into the affection and clearly enjoying every second. But just off to the side, the Golden Retrievers are watching, and they are not pleased.
The Goldens stay close, watching Grandma carefully and slowly moving nearer as if waiting for their turn. Some look on with wide-eyed disbelief, while others seem ready to step in if the cuddles go on for even a second too long.
The caption perfectly frames the moment: “Meet the Golden Retriever: The most jealous dog breed on Earth. How dare Mimi give Skye hugs and not us? Imagine being a Great Pyrenees with four Golden Retriever siblings.” The line feels spot-on, as the Goldens make it very clear that Grandma’s affection should be shared equally or not at all.
The video quickly struck a chord with viewers, many of whom recognized the same behaviour in their own dogs. One commenter wrote, “We think she’s very fortunate! Just saying! Love your Georgia Buddies and friends, Charlie, Jackson, and Ollie.” Another joked, “Skye is totally milking it too, gotta get those snugs! Sorry Goldens, the queen needs her grandma.”
Others couldn’t get enough of Skye’s calm acceptance of the attention. One viewer added, “Hahah, I would love to give Skye a giant hug. We get that. We have a jealous one in our group.”
