Every now and then, a star comes along who is SO irresistible, you have to stop what you’re doing and take notice. I’m talking about the smushiest, cuddliest, most lovable beings on the web whose content instantly goes viral for doing nothing other than being their cute selves.
There’s one sweetheart winning people over left and right: an English CreamGolden Retrievernamed Pickles, and we can’t get enough of this baby!

For anyone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed (me) and needs a major mood booster (also me), Pickles is here to save the day! I kid you not—this good boy will have you smiling from ear to ear with one 60-second clip.
Have you ever, in your entire life, seen a more precious pup than Pickles? That was rhetorical because it’s impossible—and I say this with two amazing dogs of my own (sorry, babes)!
The sweeter-than-sweet Golden Retriever has a clear purpose: to make everyone feel the warm and fuzzies. I’d say he’s doing so well, he deserves a raise, some treats, and a million kisses for his hard work—and I’m not the only one obsessed with this earth angel.

“I would sacrifice my husband for Pickles,” one fan joked (is it a joke if it’s true?). “He’s the most pickliest pickle that ever pickled,” another praised. “Is there a word for when you watch a video and the cuteness makes you want to literally explode?” another wondered.
The answer to that, according to fans, could be one of the following: cuteness aggression, cuteness overload, the Filipino word “gigil” (which has no English translation), and “splort!” The more you know!
Pickles Is a Superstar
When you’re this magnetic, how could you not be the most popular dog around? With more than 17k TikTok followers and multiple viral videos that have amassed millions of likes, it’s clear why everyone is gushing over Pickles.
In case one video of the sweetie pie wasn’t enough serotonin, here’s another… because you can never have too much of this boy.
Whatever comes next for Pickles, I already know he’ll be bringing the sunshine to every cloudy day. He’s the epitome of “we don’t deserve dogs,” and I, for one, am grateful to have found him.
