Now that we’ve put away our Halloween costumes, it’s time to usher in the holidays by putting up the tree, hanging the stockings with care, and fitting our dogs with their own special light-up wings, so they can remind us all what angels they are.

Three Golden Retrievers are the perfect trio to model their very own light-up fairy wings that make them look like actual angels. It’s quite possibly the most appropriate dog costume ever invented (because they’re all earth angels)!

To see three dogs wearing wings that light up and flap is to see them in their natural state as real-life angels. It’s not just a Golden Retriever thing, but Riley, Millie, and Bear wear their wings so well, you’ll be wanting a pair for your pup.

The crew of fur friends has set the bar for the upcoming holiday season. As described in the post, they’re sure to make it all feel a little more “magical!” With more than 1.5 million TikTok followers, you can bet thousands of them swarmed the comments to praise the three little pup fairies for being so dang adorable!

“Not to be dramatic, but I would die for these fairies,” one person wrote. “Is this heaven???” another joked. “I feel like even one Golden Retriever in fairy wings might cure my depression and sadness,” another added (and oh, so true).

Why You Might Recognize Riley

In case you missed it, one of the Goldens is a bit more seasoned than the other two. Riley is the 11-year-old senior dog of the group and the one who kicked off the family’s claim to fame.

It’s been a good while since the family shared the first videos showing Riley excitedly running outside to jump into Dad’s arms, but those moments captured on video continue making the rounds all these years later. She’s not able to jump like she used to, but remains the leader of her pack.

Take a look back at sweet Riley performing the ultimate show of love with one of her most bonded humans.

Put fairy wings on any dog and we’re all melting, but put them on a senior like Riley, and zoom into her graying muzzle as she smiles, and we’re going to need to take the rest of the day off to deal!
