We all know that dogs are man’s best friend, and this applies to every breed. But Golden Retrievers take that bond a step further with how deeply they adore and stick to their people, especially their owners.
Whether they’re quietly trailing them around the house or resting their head on a lap, Goldens seem to have one clear goal: to always stay near their human and bring happiness every step of the way.
Owners of these golden companions know this well, especially one woman in Texas whose Golden Retriever rarely lets her out of sight.
But what this pup recently did just to remain close to her mom is something really special.
“Life With A Golden Retriever”
Kailee Howard, a Texas resident, is well aware that her Golden Retriever, Honey, is completely devoted to her. She’s always close by, following Kailee everywhere and soaking up every second with her.
But recently, Honey did something that even took Kailee by surprise—and left everyone who saw it smiling. It quickly became one of the most adorable moments ever witnessed in their dog-filled home.
As Kailee climbed a ladder to open the attic door for some Christmas decorations, she never imagined anyone else would follow. But just moments later, Honey showed up and immediately started scaling the ladder behind her.
Even though it wasn’t easy, this Golden Retriever wouldn’t give up. All she wanted was to reach her mom and stay by her side again.
A camera captured the sweet and surprising moment, and Kailee chose to share it on TikTok through her account, @kaileehoward9.
“Show me your pet is clingy without actually saying your pet is clingy,” Kailee said in the video emphasizing the personality of her golden furry friend.
In the rest of the clip, Kailee is shown gently carrying Honey down the stairs, making sure she stays safe the whole way down.
Waiting for them at the bottom was another furry member of the household, a Catahoula mix named Willow. Along with Kailee’s husband and a Beagle named Zoey, they make up a lively and joyful little family.
Everyone Loved What They Saw
Once Kailee posted the clip on TikTok, she figured it might get noticed, but she never expected it to become such a hit.
The comments poured in, and here are just a few of the favorites.
“😂 aww she’s so proud of himself too 🥰,” one user wrote.
“She was simply *retrieving you*,” another user joked.
The third stated: “I don’t know what’s more impressive, the dog climbing up the stairs or momma climbing down the stairs with dog in hand. 💜🥰”
We’ll wrap up this sweet Golden Retriever story with a final line from Kailee’s caption: “Day in the life with a golden retriever.”
