There’s nothing quite like the look of a dog who’s had a long day doing… absolutely nothing. Meet Zebby, the golden boy behind the handle @zebbythegolden. He lives in LA with his mom and dad and has clearly figured out how to give the perfect ‘overworked’ look. The video shows him sprawled across the bed, letting out a deep, dramatic sigh that feels all too human. You can almost hear him saying, “Life is hard when you’re a spoiled, adorable Golden Retriever.” According to his bio, he’s the “squishiest boy living his best beach life.” And honestly, judging by this clip, it seems the LA sun and unlimited affection might have finally caught up with him.
Golden Retriever gives big sigh after a day full of ‘attention’ in cute video
This short, funny clip has blown up online, pulling in over 40,000 likes because who can resist a dramatic Golden Retriever acting like he’s carrying the weight of the world? The in-video text reads, “My dog after a long day of getting attention & having no responsibilities,” which sums it up perfectly.
Zebby’s head sinks into the covers as he exhales with pure exhaustion, the kind only a pup showered with cuddles and treats could possibly know. Goldens are famously expressive, and Zebby takes it up a notch. He blinks rapidly, an expression that screams, “Don’t talk to me, I’ve had a day.”
Maybe, in his defense, he has. Between beach walks, belly rubs, and being doted on 24/7, even the friendliest dogs sometimes need a little “me time.” One commenter wrote, “Life is hard being that cute!” while another joked, “It’s exhausting.”
The video feels like every pet parent’s inside joke. We give them the world, and somehow, they still act like they’re doing the heavy lifting. But honestly, that’s part of the charm. Zebby may not have responsibilities, but he’s definitely working hard at being everyone’s favorite spoiled boy.
