There is nothing quite like being the designated camera person for a romance happening right in your own living room. Winnie, a sweet fluffball living in Boston, has officially made her choice, and it isn’t her mom. In a video shared by @winnie_and_olive, the Golden Retriever puppy is sitting on the floor, completely ignoring the playpen in the background.
She stares at her dad with a level of adoration that epic novels are written about. It is that soul-to-soul gaze that only dogs can really pull off, leaving everyone else in the house feeling like a third wheel.
Golden Retriever puppy can’t stop looking at dad in adorable video
The dad is just sitting there on the carpet with her, giving her long, slow pets from her head down to her ears. They just stare into each other’s souls. You can almost feel the bond through the screen. Winnie takes a split second to acknowledge her mom, who is the one holding the phone and recording the video, but then her dad stops for a beat.
He keeps his hand out and says something low to her. Winnie sniffs his palm and then looks back up at his face like he’s the only person who has ever existed. And then she offers the paw. It’s like a tiny, furry peace treaty. Dad leans in for a massive forehead kiss, and it is basically game over for anyone’s heart.
One person in the comments was like, “are you kiddin me rn w those eyes??” while another just posted “crying” with a screenshot of Winnie’s face. In the video, we see that this Golden Retriever puppy has that classic, unblinking look that never really goes away, even when they’re eighty pounds and taking up the whole bed. But for now, she’s just a little girl who is completely obsessed with her human.
The in-video text says, “POV: your puppy falls in love with your husband first,” and the caption is even better: “what am I, chopped liver?” It is a total mood for anyone who has raised a dog only to have them become a daddy’s girl in three months. Another user mentioned how they’ve been the “mama” forever but the dog only has eyes for the dad. And that is just how these dogs work.
