A Golden Retriever has made it clear that he is no less than a child in his family. In a sweet Instagram video, Walter curls up beside a young boy under a bright green Minecraft-themed blanket, looking completely at home as they settle in together. The clip, shared by the Instagram account @itswallythegolden, shows Walter lying beside the boy on a bed while both enjoy a cozy rest.
Golden Retriever joins his siblings under the blanket for a sweet bedtime moment
The first part of the video shows the boy and Walter lying side by side under the blanket. Walter stays close to him, with only his head and part of his body visible above the covers. The Golden Retriever looks straight at the camera while the boy smiles beside him. Walter’s expression appears calm, and he doesn’t seem interested in giving up his spot or moving anywhere else.
The video later shows Walter stretched out on the bed next to the child. The boy lies under the blanket with his head on a pillow, while Walter enjoys his own comfortable spot on the bed. Walter’s love for settling in with the family also matches his personality online. His Instagram profile identifies him as a Golden Retriever named Walter who lives in Chicago and describes the account as a UGC-focused page. The profile also features dog-friendly activities and trips to Chicago, giving followers a glimpse into Walter’s everyday life with his family.
The video’s playful premise quickly resonated with viewers, many of whom argued that Walter does not merely think he is one of the children; he already is. One user wrote, “This is the goal.” Another called the scene “so adorable.” A viewer joked that there was no need for Walter to think he was one of the kids, writing, “What do you mean he thinks?? He is. He is more baby than the other two.”
