Many dogs have both a favorite person in their family and a favorite outside of it, whether that’s a friend, a neighbor or even a delivery driver. In Joey the golden retriever’s case, it just happens to be a coffee shop barista.

His goal? Get pets from his favorite barista. The catch? Dogs aren’t allowed inside. So Joey improvises. He plants himself right by the entrance, watching the barista’s every move as his tail whips back and forth.

At one point, he casually pretends to sip water nearby. Other times, he simply lingers, making his adorable presence impossible to ignore. As the wait goes on, he starts getting a little impatient, heading back to his mom as if to say, Can you bring him out here, please?

It’s the kind of persistence only a golden retriever could pull off without seeming even slightly rude. And what do you know? It works.

Eventually, Joey’s favorite barista comes outside to greet him, and the moment is exactly what you’d expect. Tail wagging, full-body wiggles, happy barks and then the grand finale: Joey flops onto his back for belly rubs, fully leaning into the moment.
