Crawling into bed after a long day becomes an absolute luxury when a personal massage therapist is waiting for you. A popular Instagram clip posted by @hdbrosriley shows a loving owner treating his furry pack to the ultimate evening relaxation session. These pampered Golden Retrievers absolutely refuse to sleep until their dad completes a thorough, calming nighttime routine.
Nick regularly shares the heartwarming daily life of his three dogs, Riley, Twyla, and Bear, alongside his two toddlers. The family’s latest clip shows the utter dedication required to keep the large household happy before turning off the lights.
Golden Retrievers never skip this nighttime routine with dad before bed
The adorable footage drops viewers directly into the middle of an intensive pampering session with Twyla. She rests happily on the bed while her dad uses both hands to slowly massage her furry face.
Golden Retrievers have an incredibly affectionate temperament, making this special nighttime routine with dad an absolute necessity. The relaxing strokes make her eyelids droop instantly as she enjoys the sheer comfort.
Riley quickly steps up to the bed next to claim his own scheduled slot. Nick gently pats his lap to guide the senior pup into the optimal position for ear rubs. Riley closes his eyes into tiny slits while fingers slowly move under and over his floppy ears. A thorough head massage puts him in that blissful state between alertness and deep sleep.
Bear eagerly takes the final turn, approaching dad with a massive, goofy grin plastered across his face. He receives a sweet forehead kiss before Nick softly gathers and rubs his large, fluffy jowls. Soon, the happy pup rests his heavy chin directly on his front paw to drift off into deep sleep.
The heartwarming footage has gathered over 3.9K likes from highly envious pet parents across social media. One fascinated viewer commented that this interaction acts as wonderful therapy for humans. Another follower added that these luxurious evening rubs are clearly written into the manual for proper canine care.
