A Golden Retriever named Vito’s hilarious Instagram video from user @ladolce_vito_ shows that he simply won’t let his owner do anything alone, even if it is nail trimming and filing. Vito seems to have one rule, and it is that if his human does it, he should get a turn too, which, honestly, is only fair for an adorable pup like him. After all, all he wants to experience is what filing his nails is like.
Golden Retriever insists on getting nail trimmed after watching owner do it
In the video, the 1-year-old Golden Retriever pup watches his owner sit on the floor and file her nails at a coffee table. Vito stays seated on the couch, staring at his human’s hands as if he is waiting for her to call his name. He even politely offers up a paw, like he is checking in for the appointment.
His owner, laughing as she watches him, gives in. While gently filing Vito’s nails, she explains, “When I get the nail file out, he always wants his turn.” That’s when Vito’s face steals the show, as he tips his head up, opens his mouth, and holds still despite feeling ticklish, prompting the owner to crack up and observe, “It tickles.”
Even then, Vito refuses to stop. When the owner pauses in the video, the Golden Retriever nudges his paw forward again. She goes back to filing his nails again and asks, “You like that?,” while Vito repeats the same delighted, open-mouth reaction that sends her into another round of laughter.
The post’s caption echoes his voice, reading, “I insist on being a part of everything my humans do.” Viewers couldn’t get enough of the Golden Retriever and the sweet moment with his owner in the video, as one called Vito “the cutest thing ever,” while another wrote, “Oh Vito is a special pupper!”
Vito may not know what a manicure is, but he knows that he wants to do everything his owner does — even if it ends up giving them matching nails.
