A video on Instagram has gone viral for all the right reasons—featuring Boone, a golden retriever with more patience than most of us can claim.
In the clip, which has racked up over a million likes, Boone becomes the unexpected star of his owner’s prank.
What starts as a walk full of hope quickly turns into a rollercoaster of emotions for the fluffy pup.
Golden Retriever waits with a leash for owner to return in adorable Instagram video
The video begins with Boone, leash in mouth, standing sweetly by the door. Walks are usually the highlight of a dog’s day, and Boone is clearly ready.
While many dogs might lose their minds with excitement, Boone keeps it cool. His calm attitude, though, sets him up for a surprise twist.
His owner hooks the leash to his collar—then immediately drops it on the floor and walks away. Boone’s expression says it all.
Still holding the leash, he seems to look at her like, “Uh, aren’t you forgetting something?”
But the joke isn’t over yet. She comes back, and Boone perks up again, ready to head out.
Sadly, she passes right by him and walks straight out the door. Boone, still clutching the leash, watches in stunned silence as the door closes. It’s the kind of betrayal that only a dog can feel on such a deep level.
For a few seconds, Boone just stands there, frozen, as if questioning every decision he’s ever made.
Then, without protest, he quietly walks off camera. Thankfully, the prank wraps up soon after. His owner returns, full of love and affection for the pup she just emotionally bamboozled.
If patience had a mascot, Boone might be it. What started as a harmless prank ended up showing just how loyal and gentle dogs really are.
Boone’s sweet nature and expressive face have won him countless fans—and reminded us all why dogs hold such a special place in our hearts.
