One of the things I adore about dogs is their inquisitive nature and how they can find joy in almost anything they encounter.
This distinctive trait makes them incredibly special to us, leading to countless moments of joy and cherished memories.
Particularly amusing is when they become captivated by an object that we perceive as completely ordinary.
In this story, we will explore a dog’s delightful reaction upon discovering his own reflection and how it filled him with exuberance.
Typical Golden Retriever Reaction
Golden Retrievers are universally recognized for their sunny disposition and friendly nature, yet I still find myself constantly surprised by their antics.
On January 14, a hilarious video emerged on Instagram, showcasing a therapy dog named Finley, appearing thoroughly entertained by something.
As a therapy dog, Finley was adept at bringing joy to others, making this seemingly lighthearted moment effortless for him.
In this instance, he had spotted his own reflection in a ceiling mirror and was playfully attempting to engage with it.
Thus, he began bouncing excitedly, trying to get a closer look, albeit with no success. One would assume this wouldn’t hold his interest for long, yet it did!
According to his owner, as reported by Newsweek, such reactions are quite common. Finley loves gazing at himself in mirrors, especially ceiling ones.
The video, once shared on Instagram, captured widespread attention, racking up over 20,000 likes and countless comments.

Typically, one would assume that viewers would be struck by the uniqueness of this Golden Retriever’s behavior. However, it appears such antics are quite typical for them.
One commenter remarked: “My dog does this whenever there’s a light reflecting on the ceiling from a phone.”
This indicates that Golden Retrievers certainly find enjoyment in simple activities, which caught me off guard.
Another commenter added a humorous interpretation of the dog’s thoughts during this moment: “Mom, look at this guy! He has some nerve being in my space.”
Lastly, another remarked: “He’s thinking, I almost caught him!”
While the exact nature of his intentions remains uncertain, it’s clear that videos like this consistently bring smiles to viewers’ faces.
Ultimately, it’s evident that Golden Retrievers are inherently unique, and their antics brighten the days of everyone around them.
