Finals week usually means caffeine and chaos, but for one student, it involves a very stubborn, blonde roommate. Hermione’s paw parent was just trying to finish her data charts but her Golden Retriever had a different agenda entirely.
This viral video from @murph.n.mione shows that when your dog tells you study time is over, it is officially over. However, Hermione decided that her mom’s attention mattered way more than passing finals, and she wasn’t shy about it.
Golden Retriever won’t let owner work for ‘finals week’ in video
As the video begins, the laptop is open with some serious-looking data on-screen, but Hermione is strictly focused on winning some eye contact. She flops her head back to stare directly at her owner with an upside-down, goofy gaze. When Mom asks how she is doing, the pup just leans further towards the keyboard. This move results in a hilarious, toothy grin that makes focusing on coursework basically impossible. It’s hard to care about academics when a “goofball” is literally blocking the view of your screen.
Hermione seems to have a Master’s degree in how to sabotage a study session. Her paw parent admits in the caption that she loves her dog, but her final is due in just one hour and requires some serious work. But for this Golden Retriever it is her vs the laptop. And the dog usually wins every time.
On Instagram, the video has over 106,000 likes with viewers everywhere relating to the situation. Other pet parents commented that they would be failing every subject with a distraction like this at home. Most dogs know they are the center of the world and act like it. They don’t concern themselves with grades or deadlines when there are ears to get scratched.
In the end, the charts stay unstudied while Hermione enjoys her moment in the spotlight. While studying for finals can be hard at times, these funny breaks make life a lot more fun. Even if fail the test, this dog makes sure you pass the vibe test.
