Golden Retriever’s Stair Antics Win Over Hearts

Quick Smiles:

• Sunny the golden retriever’s unique approach to stairs is winning hearts.
• She opts for extra exercise over taking shortcuts.
• Her TikTok fame is growing with over 1.2 million views.

Navigating stairs can be a puzzling task for many dogs, and Sunny, a delightful golden retriever, is no exception. Her stair-climbing antics have captured the attention of countless viewers, and she’s almost got the hang of it—just missing the crucial U-turn.

In a delightful TikTok video shared by user @sunnybunnythegolden, Sunny and her owner are seen playing a game of fetch. The owner tosses a toy onto the stairs, hoping Sunny will figure out that she can turn around mid-way. However, Sunny sticks to her usual route.

Sunny confidently grabs the toy a few steps up and, instead of turning around, continues all the way to the top. Without hesitation, she then makes her way back down. It seems Sunny is choosing the scenic route, perhaps for a little extra exercise.

The video’s caption humorously notes:
“In her mind, there’s no U-turn option.”

Sunny appears comfortable with each step she takes, but she’s yet to realize the convenience of turning around halfway. This realization will surely come with time and practice, as it does for all dogs learning to navigate stairs.

For those who live in homes without stairs, introducing them during a puppy’s socialization period is recommended by pet experts to help them become familiar with this peculiar household feature.
