Viewers were charmed by the dog’s polite approach. Comments flooded in, like @haylesbayles86 who said, “So polite! Unlike my cat who just lays on me.” Another user, @murmurscat, pointed out how sweet it was that he waited for permission before settling down, saying, “How can you not love him?”
Humorously, @opendoorhq remarked that it would be “illegal” to deny such a polite request, while @zyaravie simply exclaimed, “I’m dying from this cuteness.”
Others shared how they let their dogs choose their sleeping arrangements. User @nismonik mentioned, “My dogs have free roam—I think their happiness is worth it.” Meanwhile, @esra.epstein shared a story about their dog offering more love than security, emphasizing how dogs light up our lives.
This isn’t the only time golden retrievers have made headlines for their charming antics. Earlier, another golden retriever named Sammy wowed viewers with his refined eating manners as seen in a video that showcased his polite approach to a “dogcuterie” board.
Golden retrievers are becoming beloved online not just for their loyalty and silliness but for their unique blend of personality traits that make them wonderful companions, especially when it’s time to settle down for the night.
