This man behaved like his golden retriever for a day — and her expressions are comedy gold

Ever thought what life would be like if you started behaving like your Golden Retriever? Imagine waking up with endless energy, greeting everyone like a long-lost friend, and finding boundless joy in the simplest things. Sounds fun, right? Well, a man decided to embrace his adorable Golden Retriever's lifestyle, and his dog's response was just pure comedy gold! The hilarious reel was shared on Aubrey's official page (@pawbrey_ on Instagram). 

In the video, at one moment, Aubrey was peacefully sleeping on the bed without a care in the world. And the very next moment, her owner suddenly pounced on the bed, leaving the poor dog utterly baffled. Simultaneously, the overlay text on the screen read, "Behaving like my dog for a day." The scene then shifted to the couch, where the dog owner sneezed on his Golden Retriever, just like she always did to him. Perhaps realizing what was happening, the pup had the perfect comeback—drenching her owner with affectionate, slobbery kisses. The stubborn man gave it another shot, sneezing right on his dog once more, but she wasn't fooled and simply responded with another round of wet licks, as if saying, "I know what you are doing!" 

Next, as Aubrey was happily enjoying her food, her playful human pulled the ultimate Golden Retriever move by staring at her and subtly disrupting her meal. At that moment, Aubrey looked seemingly irritated and helplessly looked at the camera, as if pleading for an explanation. "I think she understands now," the dog owner jokingly shared in the video caption. The Instagram reel received an overwhelming response on social media, with over 800k viewers online. Meanwhile, reacting to Aubrey's video, @tamalabaldwin commented, "It was all fun and games until mealtime was involved." Similarly, @anushnak shared, "I think you made your dog more traumatized than understanding." @xasmovingcastle wrote, "You traumatized her so hard she had to pull a 'The Office' look at the end."

@debasmitalahiri wrote, "That kiss after a sneeze was definitely a 'Bless you!'" Meanwhile, @a_warnerbros_production shared, "She's got an existential crisis... About your existence in her life." @belle.so.chic commented, "I would love to do this to my dog, but I don’t think she’d get it." @tony.fraser, another dog owner, revealed, "Girl goldens are the best! Got one. My best friend!" @jin_ki_sayo wrote, "That last expression was, 'I'm so done with this Hooman. Is it broken?'" On the other hand, @karolnathalie219 interpreted Aubrey's point of view and commented, "Why is the hooman being so annoying?"

On a related note, while there's no denying that all Golden Retrievers are amazing, say hello to Sirius (@Siriuslysalem on TikTok), who takes it to a whole new level. Interestingly, this talented canine can not only mimic other animals like a pro but also can do most activities just like a human. Yes, you read that right! Just one simple command from his owner, and the dog followed like a devoted soldier. "Sirius, what does a lion do?" the woman asked, and in the blink of an eye, the Golden Retriever roared like one. Then, the dog owner asked him to mimic a rabbit, and the golden boy began hopping like one. "Decided to try something different with Sirius. Look how cute he is," she shared in the caption.
