The holidays are full of shopping for the perfect gift, visiting with family and friends, and of course, eating delicious treats we only seem to make once a year. Honestly, it’s like my dogs know that when I roast a turkey, it can only mean one thing… leftovers in their dinner bowls!
There are lots of dog-friendly recipes out there, and one TikToker uses her two adorable Golden Retrievers to share her favorites with other pet parents. The recent video shared by @pearlgoldengirl provides a first-paw account of the sweet pups (and their mom) creating a holiday favorite… pumpkin pie!
The video begins with Pearl and Poppi sitting at the kitchen table. Both girls are wearing festive doggie headbands adorned with tiny pieces of pumpkin pie. You can tell they’re both eager participants in their cooking show and more than ready to wow their fans with their baking skills.
First, Mom gets them a bowl for mixing the two-ingredient crust. As she dumps in the oat flour, Poppi is a little too eager and decides to take a little sampling. It’s probably not the tastiest of ingredients, but the Golden Retriever puppy doesn’t seem fazed at all.

Next, they add the applesauce—and this is where Mom’s help is really needed. Mixing dough takes opposable thumbs, not just paw power. After setting the oven to preheat, it’s back to the table to prepare the filling.
Poppi helps peel the banana, and Pearl is instrumental in emptying the canned pumpkin into the bowl. Again, Mom comes in clutch with her thumbs for the mixing, and of course, pouring the filling into the cooled tiny pie crusts.
How Did the Pies Turn Out?
Finally, the moment of truth… how do these puppy pies taste? Both Pearl and Poppi eagerly ate their slices and gave them a solid 10/10 in every category! The best part of the whole video is the adorable lip smacks as the Goldens polish off their scrumptious treats.
These two (and their mom) are always cooking up something adorable and delicious, and we can’t wait to see what festive treat they whip up next!
