Pet parents must have often witnessed the strong bond between their dogs and their kids. This Instagram video shows how the owners ask their Golden Retriever to help wake up their son. In the clip, the couple admits that the child may get annoyed if his parents wake him up.
However, the situation may differ if it’s his favorite pup, Skylar. When the dog approaches the toddler, the parents seem happy, thinking the mission is going to be successful. But the dog turns the situation around, leaving the owners in stitches.
Golden Retriever tries to wake up toddler from impromptu nap with gentle kisses
In a funny and cute dog video on Instagram, a Golden Retriever named Skylar is given one job: to wake up his baby brother. “We needed to wake up my three-year-old from his impromptu 4pm nap,” the uploader mentions on the screen. The clip then begins with the pup entering the little boy’s room, where the dad is already sitting near the window.
Meanwhile, the mom is recording while seeking Skylar’s help to wake up the toddler, Shalom. They explain that the kid “gets mad” when his parents disturb his sleep. “So we employed his best friend to help out,” the on-screen text reads. At the same time, the video features the fur baby standing near the child’s bed and sniffing through the grills.
It appears the Golden Retriever is happy to do the job. He seems enthusiastic as he hops onto the bed, knowing “just what to do” next. Skylar boops the kid’s face, licks, and kisses while softly nudging him to wake up.
However, he gives up pretty soon and lies on the other end of the bed. Despite the dog mom’s persuasion, Skylar seems to prefer to join his baby brother for a nap rather than wake him up.
Meanwhile, viewers loved the video of the Golden Retriever trying to wake up the toddler. Many called it the “best wake up call.” Additionally, a user commented, “Skylar: wake up bro play time! Also Skylar: never mind I found a good nap spot!” Since the upload, the clip has garnered over 60K likes as of writing.
