Video: Golden Retriever Ignores Owner Until Offered Cookie

A recent video featuring a cheeky Golden Retriever is making rounds on Instagram, resonating with dog owners everywhere. Instagram user @laurencodyandcharlie shared the video on the social media platform, highlighting the dog’s expertise over “selective hearing.” Charlie, the Golden Retriever in question, proves how some pets can be playfully stubborn and respond only if the owner promises them a treat.

Golden Retriever is a ‘selective hearing’ expert in funny video

In a hilarious video, Golden Retriever Charlie rests comfortably on a grey sofa, quite uninterested as his owner repeatedly calls his name. The paw parent even changes the intonations in an effort to get his attention. However, Charlie won’t budge. The on-screen caption sets the stage for the video, reading, “selective hearing at its finest.” Accordingly, the Golden boy remains nonchalant with his eyes closed, showing no sign of acknowledgment.

All of that changes in an instant when his owner asks, “You want a cookie?” Suddenly, everything changes as Charlie perks up, flashing his eyes wide and fully alert as he wags his tail while looking directly at the camera. The caption beneath the video sums up the Golden Retriever’s antics: “The selective hearing tho.”

The video resonated with viewers and quickly gained attention on Instagram. Viewers shared their amusement with Charlie, with several viewers eager to know the resolution. One directly asked, “sooo did he get the cookie or not?!” Another user echoed the sentiment, writing, “Did you gave him the cookie tho?” A third user quipped as he added, “If Charlie didn’t get a cookie, I’ll be livid!” Some commentators under the hilarious video found Charlie “cute,” while others shared their own experiences with their Golden Retrievers and their antics.

The comments prove that the video features a lighthearted moment many pet owners can relate to. Charlie’s immediate reaction to being offered a cookie, after initially completely ignoring the owner, is a testament to the playful and enduring bond between pets and their owners. While viewers are left wondering whether he received his cookie, the video serves as a reminder of the everyday moments that make life with dogs unforgettable.
