Who needs a standard alarm when you live with a dog who has a very loud internal clock? Once they are awake. Imagine you don’t really get a say in how your morning starts, but in a cute way. And that’s exactly what’s happening with Sammy’s mom in Denver. In the video posted by @sammysamsamthegolden we see that she has traded her phone’s chime for a much more vocal and significantly grumbly performance from the Golden Retriever. This “short queen”, also answering to Sam-Sam or Samuela, is fully convinced breakfast should’ve happened already. Plus, she’s learned that a few well-timed grunts usually do the trick.
Owner documents Golden Retriever’s ‘I’m hungry’ grunts in video
The clip kicks off with Sammy facing away from her mom, but the second she realizes the camera is on her, she pulls a fast, grumbly flip to face the lens. It’s pure sass. When the initial grunts don’t lead to an immediate bowl of food, she levels up the drama. She half-sits up, looks at her mom, and lets out a low, vibration-heavy groan that slowly turns into a high-pitched, squeaky yawn.
It’s like she wants Mom to know that she hasn’t eaten in days. Her mom can’t help but laugh, reaching over to scratch those fluffy cheeks while Sammy plays the part of the starving artist. “Oh my goodness, that was crazy,” her owner tells her at her theatrics.
Sammy eventually gets up, does a full 360-degree turn, and plops back down with a heavy, frustrated sigh. It’s the ultimate guilt trip. She knows exactly how to use those judgmental eyes to remind her mom that the “breakfast at 7 AM” rule is non-negotiable, seven days a week.
The internet is clearly feeling the relatable struggle, with the post hitting over 8.5k likes as fellow pet parents chime in about Sammy’s lack of a snooze button. As one viewer pointed out, there’s a “golden morning rule” at play: if the dog is awake, the whole house is awake. Ready or not, here she comes.
