Golden Retriever Brooks turns a rough vet visit into a funny little recovery update in this sweet reel. The retriever appears in a blue cone, looking sleepy and calm while his owner explains that he hurt his paw last week. The post then reveals the trick that got him to take his medicine.
Set to Afroman’s “Because I Got High,” the video leans fully into the joke. Brooks sits outside in the sun with a dreamy face, while the captions frame his vet souvenirs as the reason for his extra relaxed mood.
Owner mixes doctor’s ‘souvenirs’ in cheese for dog in video
Posted by goldenboy.brooks around 12 hours earlier, the video shows Brooks resting in a wicker chair while text explains what happened. The caption reads, “Losing a nail is no joke! Ugh.” The reel then adds that the vet sent him home with some “niiiice souvenirs” and that one of them had to be disguised as cheese that morning. The audio choice makes the sleepy payoff even funnier.
The post never says exactly what medicine Brooks got. Broken nails can expose the quick, which contains nerves and blood vessels, so they can be very painful. Major outlets say veterinarians may prescribe pain medication for a few days after this kind of injury, which can cause a temporary high, while PetMD notes that a recovery cone helps stop licking or chewing at the paw while it heals.
The reel starts by introducing Golden Retriever Brooks’ paw injury from the previous week. It then cuts to the explanation that the vet sent him home with medications. Next comes the funniest detail, with the owner saying one had to be hidden in cheese. After that, Brooks appears fully settled in his cone, chin resting comfortably as sparkles and dizzy emojis float around his sleepy face.
Fans enjoyed the recovery update right away. One wrote, “Convenient to stack chins on”. Another simply replied, “???”. The comments matched the reel’s relaxed energy and Brooks’ hilarious post-vet expression.
