Having a social media following (4.7 million) that easily rivals that of a major Hollywood celebrity means being recognized practically everywhere on the street. And that exact level of intense fandom is precisely what went down at a recent Golden gathering.
A new video uploaded by @adventuringwithnala shows the adorable chaos when a famous Golden Retriever joins a crowd. Her dad, Chris, was just trying to film a walk at the event when fans completely swarmed them. Understandably, the cute clip is already going viral with over 91.7k likes in just eight hours.
Golden Retriever steals the show at a meetup
The footage kicks off with a casual stroll before an eagle-eyed fan suddenly spots Nala on her leash. She gets incredibly excited and immediately runs back to tell her friends. Pretty soon, an entire crowd surrounds the happy pup to snap photos and hand out head scritches. This sweet breed is naturally built for socializing, but Nala instantly confirms her identity by launching into her signature move. She happily stomps her hind legs in a perfectly rhythmic dance while the crowd cheers.
The excitement only builds as more people crowd around to share some love. One fan admits she traveled to the event purely hoping to catch a glimpse of the internet star. And then things get even funnier when a lady pulls a custom photo calendar straight out of her purse. She asks them for an official signature, prompting a sweet laugh from Chris. He admits they have actually never signed an autograph before. He holds her fluffy paw to sign the page while everyone takes pictures.
Another young fan asks to pet her just to brag to his friends, calling her the most humble celebrity he has ever met. Nala handles the intense fanfare like an absolute pro before jumping up to give Chris a giant hug.
All that heavy schmoozing eventually takes a toll on the hard-working pup. The final clip in the video shows the sweet Golden Retriever tucked safely in bed, completely passed out from her shift. Chris rightfully tells his tired girl to rest up after her big day.
