You can bet that a house with a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and a Golden Retriever puppy is rarely silent. But somehow, things have finally reached a total standstill over at @emmamaygravess for the ultimate afternoon snooze.
This little girl and her fluffy Golden Retriever puppy, Wally, are currently tangled up on the rug in the sweetest way possible. Usually, this breed is known for being a whirlwind of energy, so seeing him this still is basically a miracle. Their mom says in the caption that they are already proving to be best friends in the making.
Golden Retriever puppy enjoys relaxing pets from little girl as they cuddle
The camera finds the duo sprawled on the floor, with their noses almost touching. Wally has his paws resting on the child’s back while she gives him gentle pets. She uses slow, sweet strokes across his face to keep him calm and relaxed. You can see the Golden Retriever puppy completely melt while the little girl continues her work.
The text suggests everyone should just “get the Golden Retriever” for this reason. Their mom is sitting right there to capture every second of the love. Research shows that growing up with a dog can teach kids a lot about empathy.
Some experts suggest that children with pets often have lower stress levels in the long run. This Golden Retriever puppy and little girl seem to be starting that relationship early.
The internet is clearly obsessed because the clip hit 14.6K likes in less than ten hours of being posted. One fan even called Wally an emotional support puppy because of his unusually chill vibe.
Of course, owning a young dog isn’t always this peaceful. One follower asked how Wally could possibly be so relaxed when their own pup is currently destroying the house. The owner replied that Wally is usually just as “bitey” behind the scenes. Another parent shared that their own dog and toddler have a sweet bond that makes the chaos worth it.
