It’s not every day a dog turns a minor mishap into a viral masterclass in canine drama, but Carol the Goldador has done exactly that. The lovable Labrador and golden retriever mix had social media users in stitches after her overly dramatic response to a tennis ball to the face took the internet by storm.
According to a now-viral TikTok video posted by @carolthegoldador, Carol closed one eye tightly after getting hit during a game of fetch and refused to open it for two straight days. Her owner, understandably concerned, made not one but two trips to the vet to make sure her furry friend hadn’t suffered a serious injury.
The vet checked Carol’s cornea and reassured her owner that everything was fine. But despite receiving a clean bill of health, Carol wasn’t quite ready to let go of the incident. That is, until her owner brought out an unexpected remedy—ice cream.
As shown in the video, the moment Carol got a taste of the delicious treat, her mysterious injury disappeared. Her eye popped open as if nothing had ever been wrong. The caption asked the question everyone was thinking: “Did she hustle me?”
The hilarious clip quickly went viral, amassing more than 2.2 million views and 327,000 likes. In the video, Carol’s owner can be heard expressing disbelief at how quickly the pup snapped out of her drama once the frozen snack entered the picture.
Fans in the comments were just as amused. “She pronounces it ‘eyes cream,’” one user joked. Another added, “She needed both eyes to see the ice cream.” Someone else wrote, “She saw her moment and took it,” while one particularly relatable comment read, “God forbid a girl wants some extra attention & ice cream.”
Carol’s owner chimed in to share that this isn’t the first time the clever dog has outwitted her. In a comment, she admitted that Carol “has a literal college degree,” jokingly suggesting that acting might be her next career move.
The story has delighted animal lovers everywhere and reminded us of something essential—dogs aren’t just smart, they’re also hilarious. Whether or not Carol faked her injury, she certainly earned her scoop.
