Some dogs wear their emotions on their paws, and this Golden Retriever is one of them. In a clip that’s cracking everyone up, a woman films herself sitting beside her boyfriend’s Golden Retriever for the very first time while he’s out running errands. The caption reads, “My boyfriend went to the grocery store and I’m stuck with his dog for the first time.”
The camera pans to the dog, who is staring her down with a glare so full of judgment, you can feel the silent tension. His body is stiff, his eyes are narrowed, and he looks like he’s mentally drafting a Yelp review that says, “One star. Bring back my human.” The vibe? Pure betrayal mixed with a dash of dramatic flair. Just look at this poor, betrayed baby.
The clip was shared by @inboxunknown15 on TikTok, and people in the comments are cracking up. “Even the dog is uncomfortable with this situation,” one person said. Another person spoke for the dog and added, “I know you’re a gold digger, I just can’t prove it.” That dog has the most epic side-eye ever.

Someone else added, “Even the dog feels like he’s stuck with you for the first time.” LOL!
If you were concerned about how things were going, they have obviously improved since that first awkward meeting. Now this judgy Golden Retriever is actually smiling at dad’s new girlfriend!
If you ever find yourself in this girlfriend’s position of trying to win over a dog who’s clearly not sure about you, the best approach is patience and snacks. Let the dog come to you instead of rushing in for cuddles, and keep your energy calm so they feel safe. Offering a few high-value treats (or even just sitting nearby quietly) can go a long way toward earning their trust. It also helps to match their vibe—if they’re shy, stay chill; if they’re playful, toss a toy. And most importantly, respect their space. Like people, dogs build trust at their own pace, and they never forget who feeds them and treats them kindly.
