Pet parents must have often struggled with getting their dogs inside the house at night. This Instagram video shows how a Golden Retriever’s upset stomach situation becomes chaotic for the owner. In the clip, the dog mom lets the pet, named Gus, out in the middle of the night because he had “diarrhea.” But instead of coming back inside, the fur baby decides to play with his bat. Despite the human’s pleas, Gus doesn’t seem to be in the mood to leave his bat alone. Meanwhile, viewers cannot hold their laughter after watching the pooch’s antics in the Golden Retriever video.
Golden Retriever has a bat for ’emotional support’ to navigate diarrhea
In a funny dog video on Instagram, an owner records why her Golden Retriever, Gus, doesn’t want to come inside. Through an on-screen text, she explains the context. It reads, “POV: your dog has diarrhea in the middle of the night and thinks it’s the perfect time to piss you off even more.” The clip then shows the fur baby playing with a bat.
It features Gus holding a toy bat in his mouth outside the house door. He seems not to let go of the object and wants to take it inside. But the owner strictly says, “No,” which doesn’t affect the dog. He continues to play with the bat even after the woman asks him to get inside and “leave” the bat outside.
She seems annoyed because it is the middle of the night, and her pet won’t sleep. Meanwhile, the caption expresses Gus’s thoughts. It reads, “But I need my bat for emotional support since my belly hurts.”
Furthermore, the Golden Retriever video has left viewers in stitches. A user commented, “Looks like he’s protecting the house and is taking his job very serious.” While one person noted that Gus might be “feeling better,” many found the dog’s behavior relatable and “accurate.”
Moreover, the clip has garnered over 55K likes as of writing.
