Dogs are the best playmates for toddlers because they go along with nearly everything. They’re just thrilled to be a part of whatever’s going on!
This is especially true for Golden Retrievers, who are the epitome of an “ultimate kid companion,” and there’s no better example than Lady and Lily. Recently, the pups and their human sister Olivia enjoyed a little make-believe meal outside, and the results were… well, you’ll have to ask Lady because it seems her dinner wasn’t all she hoped for!

I’ll always stop scrolling for a cute dog/kid video, and this one delivers. This is the content sure to turn any frown upside down. Watch as Lady (and Lily) patiently wait for the “food” her sister makes, only to be disappointed in the execution.
I’ve got to give it to both Lady and Lily for going along with this whole thing. They may not have understood there’d be no real food involved, but support and encouragement are part of their sibling duties, and they crushed it. In true Golden Retriever fashion, they’re grateful Olivia included them!

“Lady is like, OK, whatever you say, tiny human,” one person joked. “Lady is not leaving any tip for the water served,” another added. “The cutest triplets ever!” another praised, and that they are!
Olivia, Lady, and Lily do everything together, including dressing up for Halloween in coordinating outfits. Prepare your eyes for a clip even more precious!
I can NOT with the cuteness here! I could say those pups are two lucky girlies to have such a kind, loving human sister, but it goes both ways. These three were meant to be!
Golden Retrievers Really Are That Great
Whether requesting yummy treats or welcoming their humans home, this breed was meant to be surrounded by loving families who give them all the attention they need (and deserve).
In general, Golden Retrievers are friendly, sociable, intelligent, and playful, which is exactly why they fit in so nicely with children. Even look at Olivia and how complete she and the dogs are as a trio—it’s “pawfection”… even if dinner service wasn’t all that great!
