If you walk past a certain house in Charleston, Brooks is probably tracking your every move. He lives at @goldenboy.brooks and has a very serious staring habit. This video shows the Golden Retriever standing on his hind legs to get a better view. The curtain is drawn open, and his neighborhood watch hours are open. He stays there while the sun is up. And then he stays there after it gets dark. He even wags his tail a little bit. But he never moves from his post. He is a very dedicated observer.
Golden Retriever’s window gazing gets a cute makeover from owner
Standing like that day and night certainly looked pretty tiring for him. So his owner finally just pulled up a chair to the window. And now he just sits there. He has his butt on the seat and his paws in front of him. It is actually hilarious to watch him sit in that manner. “If I caught him holding the local paper, I wouldn’t be surprised tbh,” his human said in the caption.
He doesn’t even turn around when the camera comes close to the back of his head. He is way too focused on the street in a very old-man behavior. People are losing it over the video of this Golden Retriever being the resident gossip. There are over 75,000 likes on the post already.
One person said they would subscribe to his neighborhood gossip newsletter. Another person called him “Sir Whistledown,” a spin on Lady Whistledown from the popular series, Bridgerton. He just sits there so still, watching the mail carrier, watching the squirrels. But he looks very serious about it. Clearly, he has a lot to keep track of today.
He has his own specific chair now. And he doesn’t seem to want to move for anyone. A few fans think he needs a pillow or a blanket. But he seems fine. He just wants to see what is going on outside. The video shows this Golden Retriever perfectly content as the house security. He just wants to know everyone’s business. And he is not going to stop until the sun goes down.
