Not every home upgrade gets instant approval from the family dog. Sometimes, you get a new gadget to make the room look a little different, and suddenly, the household inspector is standing in the doorway doing a full evaluation. That’s exactly what’s happening in a clip posted by @ryrythegoldenguy, where Ryder the Golden Retriever seems completely unsure about a room that now has glowing galaxy lights on the ceiling. The Ontario-based pup pauses outside the room and studies the whole situation like something very strange has just appeared overnight. The vibe is cautious. Curious. And very, very skeptical.
Golden Retriever stays away from the room with the galaxy lights
The video starts with Ryder, the Golden Retriever, looking incredibly unsure. He is tilting his head, and he is leaning his whole body to the left because he wants to get a much better angle on what is happening. The in-video text says, “POV: your mom buys a galaxy light, and now you live in space.” Honestly, you can’t really blame him for being so shifty. He just stands there staring up at the ceiling.
The galaxy lights are trippy, and the Golden Retriever isn’t quite sure if he’s okay with the new vibe. “Does anyone else’s pup have any random fears?” his owner asked in the caption while watching him avoid the door. The audio playing over the clip is that trending “immediately no” sound, which really captures his exact energy as he looks at the colorful lights.
Mom tilts the camera up to show the ceiling covered in red and purple. Then she pans back to this Golden Retriever. He is now staring directly at her. He looks genuinely confused; it is a look of “why did you do this?” He stares at his mom and the camera for a long time before he decides he has seen enough and just walks out of the frame.
He has seen what he has seen. One viewer joked that he looks like he is staring at a “gate to the upside down.” Another person suggested he is “afraid to be abducted by aliens.” One person even mentioned that they were going to start calling this specific move the “golden lean” because their own mini golden does the exact same thing. It is clear his mom’s project did not pass his inspection.
