Hilarious skit shows many changes dog makes after his dentist started following him on social media

You never thought twice before posting about your Friday night binge eating—until your dentist started following you on social media, right? Seeing your doctor's name in your notifications feels like a silent, judgmental presence reminding you of your last cavity. Suddenly, your social media is filled with carefully curated pictures of green smoothies, protein bowls, and tooth-friendly snacks. That's exactly what happened with Marley (@marleyinnyc on Instagram), an adorable Golden Retriever. It turns out that even dogs switch up their online persona when their dentist starts following them on social media. 

The hilarious skit began with Marley lounging next to his owner, Gary, scrolling mindlessly until a notification gave them cold feet. Marley's vet had found them on social media. With fear evident in their eyes, the duo exchanged a slow, dramatic glance, and the weight of every sugary snack suddenly crushed them. What followed later was a series of laugh-out-loud pictures of Marley tolerating an overzealous tooth-brushing session, flexing workouts, and staging an over-the-top rejection of junk food, almost convincing the dentist that they had changed overnight.

As if their health-conscious makeover wasn't already extra, Marley and Gary took it a step further by sharing a picture of the Golden Retriever taking his medicines, looking suspiciously cooperative. To top it off, the overlay text on the screen simultaneously read, "Love my medicines! #honest #selfie." The now-viral Instagram reel received an overwhelming response on social media with over 2 million views online. 

Meanwhile, reacting to Marley and Gary's video, @oso_n_koa commented, "So relatable! The vet was the first place our pups were recognized on social media. Similarly, @buster_savale shared, "The way Marlee looked at the phone and then you...Marley is indeed a paid actor." @deepa wrote, "Marley, you cutie pie! So much care to keep that majestic look going, and your sidekick is doing a good job!" @rawrose18d, another dog owner, revealed, "Back in the day, my old vet and I became friends fast. Since we lived out in the middle of nowhere, he could always call me for emergency surgery anytime. But that also helped keep my vet bills lower. This could be the start of a blessing for you."

@rimpa_dj commented, "Marley is looking beautiful in a workout picture... Oh, how many times will I fall in love with him!" On the other hand, @mc_19701, who had a good laugh watching the Instagram reel, shared, "This was so good I had to literally laugh out loud, and the teeth brushing was my favorite." @dranusha_rh wrote, "I want a man who looks at me the way @marleyinnyc looks at his snack!"@adithyaskating exclaimed, "This has to be the best video I've seen all this week!" @msbra0323 commented, "I love this big-headed beautiful baby; it always makes my day!" @rimiguleria shared, "Haha! I love it! The vet clearly is a Marley fan like all of us!" @alvingoldfish revealed, "This owner and dog bring this trend to a whole new level."
