Watching Benny over at @goldenretrieverblu_ try to sneak up on his older sibling is basically a slow-motion comedy routine. This younger dog really thinks he is a ninja as he takes these tiny, calculated steps across the living room.
Most people love Golden Retrievers for their goofy and playful nature, and Benny is definitely leaning into that today. He keeps his body low and his gaze away from his target. The owner says Benny truly believes that if he can’t see them, they can’t see him. It is honestly the funniest thing to watch.
Dog’s technique to sneak up on older furry sibling is hilarious
The video shows Benny creeping in while his human films from the couch. He looks so serious about his mission as he comes into the living room. He takes a few steps and then pauses. His older brother, Blu, is standing right there, and he refuses to pretend he doesn’t see the intruder.
He keeps a very close eye on Benny because he knows a tackle is coming soon. He even takes a few steps back to stay out of range. Benny keeps up the act anyway. He avoids all eye contact with his sibling.
This is a classic tactic for a dog on a hunt. He wants to sneak up on his brother without being spotted. But the thing that makes this so funny is that he has been spotted. Blu’s tail starts wagging pretty fast. He is clearly enjoying the game.
Blu then takes another step away to frustrate the little guy. Neither of them wants to blink first. The tension in the room is high. Finally, Blu can’t take it anymore. He lets out a bark and drops into a low play bow. That is the only green light Benny needed.
Benny breaks his stealth character immediately. He rushes forward to tackle his brother. 29.7K people loved watching this “surprise attack.” This funny clip is the perfect example of why these brothers have so many fans online.
