In a laugh-out-loud Instagram clip, a Golden Retriever puppy named Dunkin gets to meet his grandma for the very first time—and it’s every bit as heartwarming and chaotic as you’d expect.

From the moment the video starts, Dunkin’s voiceover commentary takes center stage, especially with how often he playfully roasts his mom while reacting to every twist and turn along the way.

Golden Retriever Puppy’s Grandma Visit Turns Into Comedy Gold

This viral clip opens with Dunkin gearing up for his big day—meeting “gwandma.” His puppy brain is torn: he’s heard grandmas are awesome, but what if she’s just like his mom? He’s clearly not a fan of that idea.

Still, rumors of unlimited snacks and toys give him all the motivation he needs.

Right from the car ride, Dunkin’s got jokes. He’s riding in the backseat (a clear “demotion,” in his opinion) and blames any crankiness on the long two-and-a-half-hour drive.

Throughout the ride, he delivers one hilarious jab after another about his mom, questioning how his dad even ended up with her.

In an emotionally charged move, he even stretches his paw out toward the front seats—basically begging for sympathy.

Once they arrive, things get wholesome fast. Grandma welcomes Dunkin with open arms, and he melts into a long, sweet hug.

Despite his usual sass, he admits she’s pretty great. He’s even relieved she doesn’t resemble his mom—which, if you’ve been following his commentary, is high praise.

Still, the puppy in him can’t fully play it cool. His tail won’t stop wagging (embarrassing), and his legs keep slipping around while grandma cradles him.

He calls the situation “awkward” but sticks around anyway—because she gives top-tier “butt pats.”

Soon enough, though, the charm wears off a bit. Dunkin demands the real reason he came: snacks. “Hand over the treats,” he declares. In the next shot, he’s wearing a shirt, which he assumes was grandma’s idea of dressing him “modest or something.”

The grand finale? Dunkin throws one final jab, claiming his mom’s birth must’ve been “a natural disaster.”

By this point, viewers have come to expect the sass, and he doesn’t disappoint.
