Rightly so\u2014Goldens can form deep bonds with their humans and are known to give as much love as they receive. Warm, friendly, and affectionate, a Golden Retriever can feel like a loving best friend and a trusted companion. For one social media-savvy Golden Retriever named <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/pets-animals\/dog\/2025\/09\/13\/wally-golden-retriever-upset-goodbye-grandma\/86117509007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Wally,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Wally,<\/a><\/strong> his connection to his extended family runs so deep that he\u2019s heartbroken at the very thought of saying goodbye to <strong>Grandma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a completely heartwarming video shared to TikTok, Wally can be seen buckled into the passenger seat of his family\u2019s SUV as Grandma bids him a fond farewell. With the window rolled all the way down, Wally laments saying goodbye and rests his head on the car door, ensuring she gives him plenty more hugs and kisses before his human mom puts the car in drive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wally\u2019s exhausted from a day of swimming but clearly doesn\u2019t want to leave Grandma\u2019s house. It\u2019s a good thing he\u2019ll be back in a few days for an extended Grandma visit when his humans go away for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Until then, Wally will clearly miss Grandma\u2014and she\u2019ll clearly miss him. The two share a special bond, which she charmingly notes when she whispers in Wally\u2019s ear, \u201cNo one loves you like your Grandma. Don\u2019t let them fool you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a hilarious moment and a testament to the deep and loving bond between grandparents and kids\u2014even when the \u201ckid\u201d is a crestfallen Golden Retriever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/golden-retriever-puppy-refuses-to-get-out-of-car\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Golden Retriever Puppy's Refusal to Get Out of the Car Makes Her a Real Passenger Princess;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Golden Retriever Puppy&#8217;s Refusal to Get Out of the Car Makes Her a Real Passenger Princess<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Golden Retrievers and Their Deep Emotional Bonds<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Loving and loyal Golden Retrievers can get emotional upon saying goodbye, just like humans. Goldens are such deeply loving pups that they\u2019re prone to separation anxiety and can show their sadness through whining\u2014or, like Wally, through sad expressions. Sometimes, a sad Golden will even try to block the path of their humans as they try to part company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But one shouldn\u2019t take a Golden\u2019s heartbreak as a sign of doggy depression\u2014it\u2019s simply a sign of how deeply they love their human companions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wally\u2019s human Grandma does a terrific job of easing the separation by offering a warm goodbye, but not a dramatic one. Just like a child, Wally\u2019s learning that goodbyes can be tough\u2014but they\u2019re never forever. He\u2019ll get to see Grandma again in just a few days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\ud83c\udfac<a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/daily?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=top\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>SIGN UP for Parade&#8217;s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/heartbroken-golden-retriever-just-cant-say-goodbye-to-grandma\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade Pets;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 10, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pet News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Pet News<\/a> section.
