"Tell me you live in Washington without telling me," is the statement superimposed on the clip, making light of the amount of wet weather the U.S. state is known to get and asking in the caption, "How many rainy days does your state get?" Set to upbeat music, the two golden shepherd pups are seen posing for the perfect picture before happily running and playing with each other, with one donning a yellow jacket and the other pink.

What is a golden shepherd?
Golden shepherds, also sometimes referred to as Golden German shepherds, are exactly what they sound like: a mix between a golden retriever and a German shepherd. They are a hybrid breed that generally weigh between 50 and 90 pounds and are known for being loyal and affectionate family dogs.
As two of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, golden retrievers and German shepherds are both highly sought-after companions, often considered to have a heart of gold and a dependable personality. Therefore, the golden shepherd combination could arguably be considered the perfect pet, especially for an owner or family that has plenty of time and energy for daily exercise and affection.
Golden retrievers often have cheerful, sunny dispositions and are genuinely good with kids and other pets. They're often friendly people pleasers who love getting attention. Meanwhile, German shepherds are highly intelligent, alert dogs that have a knack for protection. They usually form a close bond with their owners and feel it's their duty to keep their home safe. Often, a golden shepherd presents the best of both dogs in one, but of course, each dog is different and unique in their own way!
