Golden Retriever Sleeping Like an Angel After Misbehaving Delights Viewers

It's true that dogs are our most loyal companions. However, they do tend to act naughty, especially when they appear to realize the power of their cuteness over their humans. A golden retriever has recently gone viral after her owner shared a clip of her napping "like an angel" after misbehaving all day.

In the video, shared on Tiktok under the username rayathegoldo, the pup, called Raya, can be seen taking a refreshing nap in the living room, wagging her tail as she snores loudly, after a full day of shenanigans.

The post comes with a caption that reads: "How I sleep knowing that even though I didn't listen to Mom today, stole some cheese, and ripped Dad's sock, she will still love me and call me her little angel." This was followed by: "I am just a baby."

According to the American Kennel Club, golden retrievers can be very playful and silly dogs. Even during their adult years, they appear to be young pups at heart. Golden retrievers love eating. They eat anything from your dinner to socks and crayons. The breed also tends to overeat quite easily.

Moreover, they are a very "mouthy" breed, according to AKC, as they like carrying things like clothes and toys in their mouths. Their mouths are so "soft," that they're said to be able to carry a raw egg without cracking its shell.

The video quickly gained popularity on TikTok, attracting animal lovers from across the platform. It has so far received over 677,200 views and 44,400 likes.
