Early mornings can be tough for many people, and apparently, the same is true for pets. Just like their owners, dogs sometimes have slower starts to the day, especially when they would rather stay cozy and relaxed. One Golden Retriever puppy recently captured the internet’s attention after a video revealed just how reluctant he is to fully wake up in the morning.
Golden Retriever puppy drags his toy upstairs in the morning
A clip shared on TikTok by user @buoy.boy shows the young dog, named Buoy, taking on a simple task that turns into a slow, sleepy adventure. In the video, Buoy is carefully carrying a large crab-shaped plush toy up a staircase. While the task might seem easy, the puppy moves at an extremely slow pace, climbing one step at a time as if he’s struggling with the effort. The plush toy dangles from his mouth as he gently works his way upward.
What makes the moment especially funny is how deliberate and tired Buoy appears. Instead of bounding up the stairs with the energy many puppies are known for, he takes careful, measured steps. His slow pace makes the climb look like a much bigger challenge than it really is, almost as if the stuffed crab is far heavier than it should be.
Behind him, his owner records the moment while quietly watching the determined puppy complete his morning mission. The clip’s caption, jokingly, refers to his “morning crabiness,” a playful nod to both the toy he’s carrying and his sleepy mood.
Viewers in the comment section had plenty to say about the adorable moment. Many were amused by the puppy’s serious effort and the oversized toy swinging from his mouth. One viewer joked, “ITS TOO BIG FOR BUOY,” suggesting the plush crab might be more than the puppy bargained for.
Another commenter imagined the puppy’s thoughts, writing, “Juuuuuust me and me lobster off to bed. Nightie night.” Others focused on Buoy’s appearance, with one person pointing out, “The fluffy legs are soooooo cute.” Some viewers even joked that the toy looked like it was fighting back. One comment read, “Oh someone help the baby he’s being attacked by a huge lobster.”
