Paw parents pretending to collapse to see their dogs’ reaction is always entertaining. A recent video shows how an owner puts on the same act for his Golden Retriever, Nala. Although the pet parent only pretends to fall, the dog’s prompt reaction has won viewers’ hearts. The adorable video showing the dog owner’s collapse is captioned, “That’s real love right there,” and evidently, it has been the case.
Instagram video shows Golden Retriever jumping from bed to protect owner
A cute video on Instagram features a Golden Retriever named Nala, who acts promptly when her owner pretends to collapse. A line is written on the clip, which reads, “When your dog is snoozing but still trying to save you.”
The clip begins with the owner, Chris, dramatically collapsing on the ground. Without wasting a second, Nala jumps from bed to protect him. She hovers over him and puts her ear to his neck, supposedly trying to hear his heartbeat. The dog shifts her head repeatedly to check if Chris is breathing. Soon, the owner gives up and embraces his adorable pet, joyfully saying, “Oh, you saved me Nalsss.” Wagging her tail, she looks relieved.
Chris even tells Nala that he is okay and apologizes for playing the prank. In return, the pet also receives comfort through scratches, belly rubs, kisses, and cuddles. After that, the two spend time playing, which also includes “trust fall.”
Additionally, the Golden Retriever also showcases her talent, which has made her popular on social media. She flaunts her stomping skills, which she does using her back legs; therefore, she is called “Nala Stomps,” as per the Instagram account. Chris and his pet also played many fun games with socks in the video. Towards the end, the owner tries to pretend to collapse once again but gives up when Nala growls.
Since the upload on Instagram, the dog owner’s collapse video has garnered over 158K likes. Viewers have called Nala “sweetest” and claimed the clip to be funny. A user wrote, “Better be careful, she’s gonna learn the CPR stomps.” Another said, “I was already laughing at the ‘help is on the way dear’ amazing quote.” Many praised the dog for her caring behavior, while a few found the owner’s dramatic reactions hilarious.
