Golden Retriever Is Adorably Confused When Dad Pretends to Pet Him – Yahoo

TikToker @yourdressbff shared a hilarious video of her Golden Retriever’s total confusion when his human dad pretended to pet him, and people can’t stop laughing!

Dad was lounging on the couch when the dog came over, clearly ready for some love. Instead of actually petting him, Dad pretended to, moving his hand just above the pup’s head and body. The look on the dog’s face says it all; he’s completely baffled, trying to figure out what in the heck is going on!

We laughed reading the caption @yourdressbff shared, "He was concerned." He most certainly looked that way to us, too! This also makes us want to try this on our dog!

Reading through the comments was just as much fun as watching the dog's reaction to getting pretend pets. @CrzySqrl218 got 16,000 likes when they said, "He’s like, 'It’s weird … I feel it… but I don’t…'" @Kristin got 15,000 likes when she added, "The eyebrows are saying 'What the fluff?' LOL!" and @TTsoftAaf made us laugh with, "I see pet but I don't feel pet."

@Orb Tok said what the dog was thinking, "I can't feel my face." @Guittarmom88 agreed, "Am I tripping or are you tripping, I’m really freaking out right now man…" Another commenter added, "'My human is broken' LOL!"
