Internet experts love to tell people they are reading their pets wrong. But Destynie Broussard at @destyniebrou has the receipts to prove otherwise. This video is a direct response to a comment claiming her Golden Retriever didn’t want her lying near him on the couch. Bailey is already hanging out on the sofa when the clip starts. His mom decides to lie down on the opposite end. Instead of staying put, Bailey immediately looks over, he gets up, and then he walks right over to snuggle as close as possible. It’s pretty hard to misinterpret that.
Golden Retriever will only sleep next to owner in funny video
The video shows the experiment continuing as mom keeps switching sides to see what happens. Every time she moves to the other end of the couch, Bailey is right behind her. He even tries to share the exact same cushion she’s using as a pillow. So, the idea that he wants his own space is completely debunked.
Golden Retrievers are basically famous for having no concept of personal boundaries. They are the ultimate shadow pets, and he doesn’t seem to mind the extra cardio. Then Bailey pauses for a second during the last move to debate his next move. He looks really comfy in his current spot. He glances at his mom a couple of times.
It’s like Bailey’s wondering why she won’t just stay still, but then he decides the cozy spot isn’t worth being alone. He gets up again, and he goes right back to her side. One viewer joked that the mom “don’t STOP MOVING RIGHT NOW!!!” or else she will end up breaking his heart. Another person pointed out that “Proximity = love” for these guys.
“Whatever you say,” the caption reads. And the internet is definitely here for it with over 8.8K likes. One fan mentioned that nothing beats a cuddle from this specific breed. They just want to be where the people are. Another comment asks in Bailey’s voice why the mother keeps moving? It really is a typical reaction for a pup who just wants to be a velcro dog.
