Nobody teaches a newborn how to call for comfort, but somehow they just know. And judging by a viral clip shared by @redwhiteandgoldens, moms know exactly how to answer, too. The home monitor video shows a napping mama Golden Retriever and one very vocal baby who wakes up feeling a little too far away from everyone else. There’s not a lot of action in this clip, just a sleepy mother, a squeaky puppy, and love that has already earned more than 478,000 likes, as of the time of writing.
Mama Golden Retriever instantly moves close to her crying baby to snuggle him
The footage starts with Annie resting deeply while a few other little ones nurse peacefully. Suddenly, a lone puppy on the other side of the pen starts wriggling and squealing loudly. The mother Retriever wakes up with a quick jerk of her head to investigate the noise. She carefully checks the newborns currently next to her first. Then she pinpoints exactly how far away her crying pup is.
This clever mama Golden Retriever figures out how to comfort her lonely baby without waking up the sleeping crowd. She stretches her long neck across the floor to touch noses with him. And she gives him a few reassuring licks until he finally stops crying. However, the second she tries to lift her head away, the little guy starts squealing all over again. So she immediately drops her nose back down to continue their sweet snuggle session.
The adorable interaction completely blew up on Instagram, gathering an incredible 478k likes from fans. Commenters had an absolute blast guessing the internal monologue of the tired mother dog. One viewer joked that Annie was probably wondering why her children could not just stay exactly where she left them. Another person noted how sweet it was that she chose to stretch out instead of disrupting the nursing group.
Annie clearly has this parenting thing completely figured out. Her puppies are definitely in great hands while they grow up in Indiana.
