Some dogs are so loyal that they\u2019ll join you on every adventure and hang out with you through every terrible movie. Some will even go as far as to ignore their own exhaustion to make you smile. And this Golden Retriever\u2019s<\/strong> sleepy dedication is the sweetest thing ever.<\/p>\n In one video, we meet a charming Golden Retriever<\/a> who has his eyes barely open when his mom walks in. His eyes are barely staying open, but when his mom walks in, he perks up just enough to greet her. It\u2019s a small moment that perfectly captures a dog\u2019s endless love.<\/p>\n On November 3, TikTok user Lexi, Wolfie & Pickles (@lexismileyy) shared a video of a beautiful pup who loves his mama with all his heart. This Golden Retriever’s name is Pickles, and there are zero questions that he’s a true gentleman with a heart of gold.<\/p>\n As his mom walks toward him, down the front walkway, Pickles is so tired that he is essentially sleeping while standing up and holding the door open for his mom. He clearly needs a nap, but his desire to meet his mama has taken over, and oh, he is just the most darling pup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related: Golden Retriever Who Follows His Mom Everywhere Has the Sweetest Way of Getting Her Attention<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In the comments, it’s clear, reading through the more than 4.5k messages, that Pickles is a fan favorite.<\/p>\n One person wrote, “Not to be rude, but how does anyone leave the house when Pickles is still there, like\u2026 what else do you NEED that’s outside?!”<\/p>\n Another shared, “Is there a word for when you watch a video and the cuteness makes you want to literally explode?”<\/p>\n Someone else added, “SO STINKIN\u2019 CUTE. I\u2019m so curious what his guilt face would look like.”<\/p>\n Others added, “I would sacrifice my husband for Pickles,” “He\u2019s the most pickliest Pickle that ever pickled,” Not to be dramatic, but I would die for this dog,” Oh, he\u2019s so gentle. Such a sweet boy!” “Golden Retrievers are literally the best,” and “I\u2019m glad we all talk to our dogs the same way.”<\/p>\n Someone else insisted, “You better tell that dog I love him [so much] right now. Please.”<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Sweet Pickles is either really tired or it’s very early in the morning because his eyes seem very heavy. But how much sleep does a dog need each night? Experts say the answer to that varies.<\/p>\n According to Sleep Foundation<\/em>, adult dogs<\/a>, on average, get just under 11 hours of sleep, and a lot of that is between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.<\/p>\n We’re sure Pickles was able to take a nap that day to make up for waking earlier than he wanted so he could greet his mom, and he’s ready for another day.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 10, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
