Dogs of every breed are able to show such excitement over the littlest thing, but Golden Retrievers are just a bit extra. Be it with their favorite toys, snacks, or in this case, their dog beds.
One proud goldie named Winston is winning hearts online, thanks to his adorable reaction to a dog bed upgrade. Which is honestly understandable…the bed is more of a mini couch. Who wouldn’t be excited?
Winston’s mom, Ashley Jance, not only manages to capture the wholesome moment, but provide the perfect narration.
“This is my old bed… and THIS is my new bed!” Jance says as, indeed, we see Winson jump on one bed then bounds to the other, as though he were a kid on Christmas showing off his new toys.
And just like a kid, Winston doesn’t love the idea of sharing, as indicated by the playful growls when Dad tries to sit on his new plush throne.
“He’s like, ‘get up!’” Jance says through giggles.
Down in the comments, viewers seemed to catch Winston’s enthusiasm.
“I love this for you Winston!” one person exclaimed.
Another added, “that is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time.”
@wackowinston im very proud and excited
Of course, not all dogs might take to dog beds as happily as Winston did. A survey by the American Pet Products Association found that 62% of small dogs, 41% of medium-sized dogs and 32% of large dogs sleep with their owners.
But even for pups who don’t take to their own bed immediately, there are certain steps that can be taken to make the bed feel a bit more appealing. Mostly it takes establishing routine and safety along with some patience as a pet owner.
Or..maybe pet owners could just show their furry friends this video of Winston…because boy is his energy contagious.
By the way, if you’re interested in getting a dog bed just like Winston’s, they’re available on Amazon.
