Dog parents love to joke that their pups have personalities bigger than most people, and sometimes, the evidence is hard to ignore. Whether it’s the way they tilt their heads when you say “treat” or the pure betrayal in their eyes during bath time, dogs know how to put on a show. Teddy, a Golden Retriever with a particular talent for striking a pose, is taking that to the next level. A now-viral video captures the dog’s best faces, and every one is meme-worthy.
Golden Retriever Has Many Faces in Funny Video
The clip shows a montage of Teddy’s wide range of facial expressions, with each “look” matched to a funny caption by his owner. It opens with Teddy donning a chef’s hat in the kitchen, looking completely puzzled as he helps his owner cook. The owner calls this his “confused” face. His slightly tilted head and visible whites of the eyes make it pretty clear: Teddy has no idea what is going on.
Next up is his “gangster” look, where he is decked out in sunglasses, a backwards cap, a gold chain, and even a gold grill. Sitting in a car and striking a serious pose, he nails the part with surprising commitment. The mood shifts when Teddy is shown covered in dirt, panting with excitement. This is his “happy” face, perhaps the result of a good roll in the yard or maybe an off-leash adventure.
Later, he transforms into a more refined version of himself, donning a bandana around his neck and giving a smug look. His owner jokingly labels this the “I’m better than you” face, and with that expression, it’s hard to argue. The video wraps up with Teddy flashing his gangster look one more time before softening into the classic “puppy dog eyes.” Holding a toy in his mouth while standing in a store aisle, he appears to be subtly begging his owner to purchase the item for him.
Teddy’s fans didn’t hold back. One viewer dropped a comment that read, “Your dog really knows how to express his thoughts.” Another pointed out, “When you see the white of his eyes in confused – that’s how you know he has NO idea what is even happening rn.” Many agreed the “happy” and “puppy dog eyes” moments were the most relatable and adorable.
