Dogs are the best form of entertainment, hands down. Their uncanny ability to make anything humorous is only one of their best traits. The funny pups who are really in tune with their surroundings or our emotions seem to know the formula for the most soul-healing medicine possible—laughter!
Emma, the Golden Retriever, couldn’t be more entertaining with her groovy moves to a hit song. This silly girl takes the lyrics literally, and it’s so on-brand.

If you were hoping for a feel-good video of a dog listening to a song and performing the commands stated in the lyrics, you’re in luck, my friend. Emma is a total rockstar, showing off how well she listens with her cool moves!
Emma definitely understood the assignment—to “back it up” then “stop and wiggle with it“—and it’s comedy gold! She’s clearly very happy with her epic “pawformance” based on her huge grin (as she should be!), and thousands of her devoted fans are feeling a little nostalgic about it.
“The way this would be a party trick everywhere we go—friends’ houses or the dog park. Millennial win,” one person praised. “Can’t wait until Lil Jon says ‘To the windooooow, to the wall!'” another wrote. “God forbid a Retriever catch a vibe,” another added.

Emma and Sister Ellie Are on a Mission
Along with Golden Retriever sibling Ellie (who’s a certified therapy dog), Emma’s bio says she’s “on a mission to spread smiles,” and that’s exactly what she and her sis are doing.
Whether they’re dancing up a storm or trying to play fetch with the baby, it’s clear these two gals have a purpose higher than they might realize.
Here’s a look at Ellie and Emma’s 2025 recap to put a little pep in your step. They once again understood every single assignment (now, clap)!
Being a creative genius who can interpret song lyrics is one facet of Emma’s extraordinary personality, but there’s much more to her than that. With nearly 8 million TikTok followers tuning in for more smiles, it’s clear that this is one very special pup!
