Sometimes, dogs don’t just keep routines; they enforce them. A heart-melting video shared by @nautidoggo shows exactly that, capturing the moment an English Cream Retriever named Nauti decides bedtime has officially arrived, whether his human agrees or not. He has captured widespread attention in a video in which he insists on a bedtime ritual that must be followed. As the caption perfectly sums it up: when mom gets home late, there’s no lingering on the couch. “It’s just the baby gets his baby and goes straight to bed.”
Golden Retriever can’t wait to hit the bed after mom comes home late
The video opens with the owner arriving home later than usual, only to be met by a very determined dog. Text on screen sets the tone right away: “Got home late and my doggo said, ‘It’s time for bed immediately!’” Holding his favorite plush toy, lovingly called “the baby,” Nauti walks over with confidence.
The text on the video says, “I got the baby for us,” showing that he’s made up his mind. After a quick moment of love that seems to say, “That’s enough love, Mum,” the Golden Retriever turns around and walks down the hallway. Without hesitation, Nauti leads the way toward the bedroom as another caption flashes: “Straight to bed we go. Bedtime Mumz. It’s past our curfew.” Nauti settles in comfortably on the bed, still holding his toy, eyes half-closed and utterly satisfied.
The moment felt relatable to many people online, especially pet owners who said their dogs also set bedtime rules. One viewer commented, “My dogs have a bedtime for me too.” Another wrote, “I love him,” and a third added, “So sweet.”
The clip was shared by @nautidoggo, an Instagram account with over 9,000 followers and 370-plus posts that features Nauti, an English Cream Retriever known as a “professional goofball,” a “professional alarm clock,” and a dog who loves routine, especially at bedtime.
