A lighthearted Instagram video featuring two English Cream Golden Retrievers named Wrigley and River has gone viral, charming viewers with a playful encounter between the dogs and a small bird. The footage was first shared on Instagram and quickly gained attention for capturing the animals' amusing reactions.
The video opens with one of the Golden Retrievers lounging peacefully on a freshly mowed lawn. As a small bird enters the yard and begins fluttering nearby, the dog turns to observe it. The bird appears to tease the dog by flying close and brushing against its tail. The dog initially remains calm but grows more alert when joined by the second retriever, who eagerly rushes in to investigate the intruder.
Together, the two dogs attempt to chase the bird away. Despite their efforts, the bird proves elusive. Eventually, both dogs pause and turn their gaze toward their owner, seemingly looking for help or validation after their failed attempt to catch the uninvited guest.
The caption on the post humorously reads, “This bird doesn’t know it yet, but he picked the wrong Golden Retriever to mess with,” adding to the playful tone of the clip.
Viewers flooded the comment section with reactions. Many highlighted the synchronized glance the dogs gave their owner, calling it adorable. Comments included, “The simultaneous ‘look we did it!’” and “They both looked over like, are we in trouble?” Another viewer speculated the bird may have been gathering dog hair for nest building.
