Sometimes, the best way to bridge a 5,000-mile gap is with a wagging tail. Abby, Macho’s mom, recently filmed a sweet scene involving @macho_the_magnificent and their exchange student from Belgium. In the viral video, a very curious Golden Retriever ensures he is front and center for the international check-in.
Owner finds Golden Retriever and exchange student talking to her family in video
Watch this Golden Retriever joining in a student exchange’s call with her family:
The clip peeks into the living room from the stairs. The cute pair is sitting together on a bench beyond the couch. We can only see the back of their heads because they are looking out. But when the camera zooms in, it becomes clear she’s on a video call with her family in Belgium. You can tell Macho definitely takes his job as a therapy dog seriously, even through a smartphone screen. Seeing a Golden Retriever on a family video call is exactly the kind of wholesome content we need.
The fact that the post has over 14,400 likes only proves that pets make any house feel like a “home.” For all we know, Macho won some new fans in Belgium this week.
