Golden Retriever Has First Experience With A Sunroof And His Reaction Is Too Good
As the lovable goofballs of the dog world, golden retrievers often find themselves the stars of internet videos that go viral for the cutest reasons. Vader, a golden retriever described as a "certified goofball" on his profile page, fits that description to a tee. In a TikTok video that's been viewed more than 57,000 times, Vader is sitting in a car when his owner opens the sunroof. The startled dog watches the vehicle's roof slide open, then he stares at his owner with the most endearing expression of confusion on his furry face before heading to the backseat.
@vaderrthegolden "what was that?"
"Goldens really are just the cutest/most confused little babies ever," one viewer commented, while another cheekily added, "His flabbers were gasted." Several viewers noted how cute Vader is in general, especially with the crimped-looking fur on the backs of his ears. One person channeled the perplexed pooch's thoughts upon seeing the roof move, writing, "Mom, what the fluff was that?!"
Why do we love golden retrievers so much?
Golden retrievers are one of the most popular and versatile dog breeds in North America, equally adept at working on search-and-rescue missions and guiding blind individuals as they are at providing emotional support in nursing homes or lounging on a sofa with the family. These sweet dogs tend to remain endearingly puppy-like until 2 or even 3 years of age (or when they receive an actual puppy companion), and they're renowned for being friendly animals, eager to please their owners.
Most goldens love being petted and receiving attention from their favorite people or even from strangers. Like Vader in the video, golden retrievers have adorably expressive faces that make it easy to guess what they're thinking and feeling at any given moment.
