When you hear the term “Golden Retriever,” what comes to mind? Is it a floppy-eared, long-coated pup frolicking in a field or fetching a ball from the water? Perhaps it’s a sociable dog wearing a friendly smile, eager to make new friends in the park? Or maybe it’s a Goldie effortlessly showing off its impressive skills and commands?
While these are the beloved traits associated with the breed, one owner from Illinois discovered a surprising reality with her new Golden Retriever pup. Enter Oakley, who is not quite what Kylie expected when adopting him!
Is He Really A Golden Retriever?
When Kylie adopted Oakley, she envisioned a lively, adventurous Golden Retriever who would resist being inside the house overnight. To her surprise, Oakley, despite fitting the breed description with his stunning coat and friendly demeanor, turned out to be an “iPad kid!” He’s not just any Golden; he’s utterly obsessed with TV.
Indeed, Oakley is so into the TV that he growls and sits in front of it, waiting for Kylie to turn it on. Once he gets his fix, nothing else matters to him!
“When I thought I was getting a Golden Retriever but got an iPad kid that growls at the TV if I don’t turn it on for him,” Kylie shared in her TikTok video.
Oakley quickly went viral for his amusing “addiction,” with numerous people sharing their own stories about their dogs. It seems Oakley’s behavior isn’t isolated!
“My golden is the biggest iPad kid I know,” one user commented.
“I swear lab does this until I turn her heated blanket on and the fan… and say get on the ‘big bed’,” shared another.
“My Goldendoodle has his own tablet,” added a third.
Regardless of the content, be it Animal Planet, a random movie, or a television show, Oakley demands that the TV remains on. His enthusiasm for Disney cartoons is particularly noteworthy—he perks up with excitement anytime he hears that familiar Disney tune!
The Sweetest Attention Thief
But Oakley is not just about TV time. When he’s not glued to the screen, he’s often out with his mom and friends indulging in tasty pup cups. However, to make it happen, he insists on “holding hands” with Kylie during car rides—talk about demanding!
Oakley is a true attention thief, and he thrives on it! His family adores him just the same.
Plus, he has an endearing “Oakley smirk” that only adds to his charm. Is it because he thinks he rules the house, or is it simply his nature? Either way, it’s adorable, and one of the many reasons his mom loves him dearly.
In summary, Oakley is truly a gem—a perfect companion who takes relaxation in front of the TV to an entirely new level, welcoming company as long as you bring along the promise of some affection!
