Everyone is aware that a dog is a human’s closest companion, and this holds true for all breeds. Nevertheless, Golden Retrievers elevate this bond to an extraordinary level through their affection and fidelity towards their favorite individuals, especially their owners.
Be it the Goldie shadowing its owner around the house or resting its head on their lap, its purpose is clear: to stay alongside its owner, bringing an abundance of love and happiness into their life.
The caretakers of these golden gems understand this better than anyone, particularly one lady from Texas, whose Golden Retriever is utterly devoted to her.
Yet, what this pup has done recently to remain close to her mother is genuinely remarkable.
“Living With A Golden Retriever”

Kailee Howard, residing in Texas, already recognizes that her Golden Retriever, Honey, has immense affection for her as she is always in close proximity. Honey shadows her at all times and seizes every opportunity to stay by her side.
Recently, though, Honey exhibited behavior that astonished even Kailee, not to mention the others who witnessed this Goldie’s actions. Concurrently, it was one of the most adorable instances in this household full of canines.
Specifically, Kailee ascended the ladder and opened the attic door to retrieve Christmas decorations. It never crossed her mind that someone might accompany her there, but shortly after, Honey emerged and promptly began to ascend the ladder.

No matter how challenging it was for her to climb, this Golden Retriever persevered and was determined to achieve her aim – to be close to her mother once more.
A camera recorded this wonderful yet heartwarming occasion, and Kailee resolved to share the video on TikTok through her account, @kaileehoward9.
“Show me your companion is clingy without explicitly stating your companion is clingy,” Kailee remarked in the video, highlighting the character of her golden furry companion.
In the continuation of the video, Kailee is seen cradling Honey in her arms and carefully descending the stairs, ensuring the dog remains unharmed.
