A Golden Retriever‘s nightly routine has the internet laughing and nodding in agreement after a video revealed how the clever dog manages to secure a share of his owners’ dinner every single time. The wholesome clip documents a familiar scenario for many pet parents: a dog who suddenly looks heartbroken the moment food appears.
Owners show how Golden Retriever gets a share of their dinner in cute video
The video opens during dinner time, with the Golden Retriever positioned nearby, carefully watching his owners eat. The text overlay explains the strategy clearly: “Every night my dog pretends to be as sad as possible to see if we’ll notice and share our dinner.” True to the caption “Works 10/10 times,” the plan succeeds once again, and the dog ends up getting a bite of the meal.
Golden Retrievers are known for their expressive faces and emotional intelligence, and this pup uses both to his full advantage. The exaggerated sighs, slow blinks, and soulful stare make it nearly impossible for his owners to resist. His performance looks so convincing that viewers joked he deserved an acting award.
Viewers flooded the comments with praise and humor. One user wrote, “This is an excellent strategy. We are practicing tonight.” Another added, “Best acting skills.” Someone else admitted defeat instantly, saying, “He can have my entire meal.” Another relatable comment read, “Always acting like they’ve never been fed before.” One viewer commented, “The way he looked up like “did it work?!”
The video was shared by @wally.meets.world, a popular Instagram account dedicated to documenting the everyday life of Wally, an “overly emotional” Golden Retriever.
