Whenever you discover that you’re capable of a new trick, it’s exciting. If you find out that your pet can do something fun and unique, it feels like a bonus to all the other wonderful things they add to our lives.
In a funny clip on TikTok, we meet Brew, the Golden Retriever, who delights his family by balancing a ball on his head.
“Did we accidentally get a seal instead of a Golden Retriever?” Brew’s family asks.
Take a look and see if this pup doesn’t bear a striking resemblance to the beloved marine mammal.
“Brew’s new favorite thing to do,” Brew’s proud family captions the clip.

How Easy Is It To Train a Golden Retriever?
Seeing a pet gain a new skill is exciting. Whether it’s giving you a paw or rolling over, your pup doing a trick fills your heart with joy and pride. Some dogs are more open to learning than others.
Brew makes it seem like training a Golden Retriever would be a breeze. But, according to experts, while Goldens are a breed eager to please, they can be more challenging to train. It turns out, these beauties can have a stubborn streak. They can also get distracted by wanting to go play with another dog or their favorite human. Who can blame them?
Of course, as with all breeds, training should be individualized to fit your pet’s personality and your lifestyle.
Clearly, Brew is excited to show his parents this new feat. We wonder what he’ll decide to try next. Whatever it is, we’re ready and waiting to watch and root for him! Go, Brew!
