Life with more than one dog can come with its share of amusing moments, especially when they have to share resources like beds or food bowls. These situations can sometimes lead to playful competition—or, in the case of one Golden Retriever, a lesson in patience and respect. Captured in a short clip shared by TikTok user @adriannasuttonn, this sweet Golden demonstrates remarkable restraint, calmly waiting her turn for a drink of water while her canine sibling enjoys the bowl first. It’s a charming reminder of how patience is a virtue, even in the dog world.
The video may only be 15 seconds long, but it highlights a moment that feels much longer for the thirsty pups. With renowned “waiting” music in the background, viewers can’t help but empathize with the Golden Retriever, who remains composed and unbothered while standing in line. Though little else is shared about the dogs, their mutual respect and the bond they share are clear—and it’s this dynamic that has touched the hearts of so many viewers.
“The Golden Retriever’s like ‘finally’ when the brown dog finished drinking,” one commenter joked. Another added, “The dissociating while in line,” perfectly capturing the Golden’s calm demeanor. A third wrote, “What a patient doggo,” summing up what makes this clip so special.
Golden Retrievers are known for their universally friendly nature, and their reputation as loyal, well-mannered companions is well-earned. According to PetMD, Goldens are one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S., beloved by families, couples, and individuals alike. Their sociable personalities make them ideal for service and therapy work, search and rescue missions, and even as beloved office or company mascots.
In addition to their charm, Golden Retrievers are also highly trainable, thanks to their eagerness to please their owners. This combination of obedience and patience is on full display in the clip, where the Golden’s serene attitude shines. Whether they’re waiting for dinner, playtime, or, in this case, their turn at the water bowl, Goldens seem to embody patience as part of their natural temperament.
Every dog is unique, shaped by their training and individual personality, but this viral video serves as a delightful reminder of why Golden Retrievers hold such a special place in so many hearts.
Shockingly, this is not the first time she has faced animal cruelty charges; she has a past conviction for similar crimes. We must ensure that no more animals suffer or die in her care!
With the familiar ‘hold’ music playing in the background and the hilarious caption: “There is currently (1) dog in front of you for the water bowl,” this TikTok video has quickly become one of our favorites.
