In an Instagram video, a Golden Retriever appears to be sitting beside a baby’s walker, with both of them looking toward their mom as she films. The baby happily wiggles around while Moose stays completely still with his pacifier in place. The matching pacifiers are hard to miss, but Moose looks like he has taken his assignment seriously.
Golden Retriever’s sweet new role includes keeping the baby company
In the Instagram video, Moose appears committed to staying put with the pacifier still in his mouth, while the baby is busy moving around in the walker. The Golden Retriever keeps looking toward his mom, but otherwise barely moves. Suddenly, the baby’s pacifier falls onto the tray. Moose looks down when it happens, and the baby notices him doing it. He turns toward Moose and suddenly breaks into a big smile.
The text on the video calls him an “emotional support big brother,” with the caption reading, “Moose takes his job very seriously.” This offers another glimpse of Moose in his big brother era, something his family has shared before. This time, though, he has apparently decided that baby duty requires a pacifier, too.
At the time of writing, the video has amassed 144K views. The Instagram account @asillygoldenmoose follows the life of a 1.8-year-old AKC show-line Golden Retriever who, according to the Instagram bio, is in his “big brother era.”
The video has collected more than 13,500 likes, and viewers are having a lot of fun with the unusual pairing. “Omg moose with the paci,” one person wrote. Another called them “two adorable little ones,” while someone else wondered, “Who’s the elder one n who’s teaching who.” “Two gorgeous babies” came from another viewer.
While the baby wriggles around, Moose remains still until the pacifier falls, prompting a sweet little exchange between the two. Moose simply stays there, happy to keep his little brother company.
