Golden Retriever's Kind Gesture Toward Scared Dog Sibling Is Melting Hearts
Golden Retrievers will forever receive as much hype as they possibly can. Everyone loves Golden Retrievers. They're the quintessential working/family dog: no matter what your needs are, you've probably asked yourself, "will a Golden Retriever fit in my life?" at least once.
Recently, one Golden Retriever showed off just how kind this breed really is. Her sweet, scared brother needed some help working up the courage to walk by something he was scared of, and she wasted no time making sure he felt safe:
Reedy the Golden Retriever is such a little scaredy-cat, but you know what? That's okay! We love sensitive boys!Reedy the Golden Retriever is a little worried all the time. He doesn't like to feel threatened by anything, at any time, and if he does... he gets a little dramatic about it. Unfortunately for him, it was trash day, and he needed to walk by a trash bag.
Luckily, his best friend Banana was there to save the day. She walked by the trash bag first, then realized sweet Reedy wasn't following. She jumps into action to save the day immediately, and takes the risk of walking by the trash bag while he stands by on the edge of his seat like, "I can't watch!"
It may seem totally ridiculous for a 50+ pound dog to be scared of a trash bag, but you have to understand: dogs don't think like that. They don't understand that inanimate objects won't hurt them, which is why they bark at decorations!
If your dog is scared of something and you can remove it, do it. It might seem overkill, but if it helps them feel safer, it's worth it. However, if not, just coax them around it: eventually, they may get "used" to it being there.
Or, if you have another dog who's willing to be big and brave like Banana, they'll take care of it. What a good girl!
