Forget about alarm clocks because Skye over at @mackandskye has a much noisier method for starting the day. This four-year-old fluff ball has mastered the art of the wake-up call in the most hilarious way possible. Usually, dogs just bark or jump on the bed to get attention, but this puppy is way more strategic than that. In the video, we learn that this Golden Retriever understands exactly which items from the pantry will make her mom jump out of bed immediately. It turns out that a crinkling snack bag is her secret weapon in this trending reel.
Video proves this Golden Retriever’s trick to get mom out of bed actually works
The video begins with mom filming from her bed, and she can see the Golden Retriever lying down in the hallway. Skye is sitting perfectly still on the runner with a bag of Chex Mix in her mouth. Carrying things in their mouth is one of the classic traits of this breed. She isn’t actually eating the contents of the packet; she is just holding the bag hostage to get attention. The dog knows that “soft mouth” technique is the perfect way to carry her prize without popping the plastic.
Skye watches carefully until she is sure she has mom’s eyes on her. Then, she drops the bag and starts to make a loud crinkly noise with it. Mackenzie tells her “no” in a very sleepy voice, but the Golden just looks back with total defiance. Fans are losing it over her “Grinch paws” and her fluffy little toes in the hallway. One viewer mentioned that she is at least being gentle with the heist. “She knows these are my fave,” her owner added in the caption.
The plan works perfectly. The next shot shows Mackenzie finally standing up and walking over to her dog. Skye’s tail starts wagging furiously because she knows she has finally won. And this isn’t even new behavior. Last time, it was a Trader Joe’s strawberry bar.
So, when mom is right in front of her, she happily lets her take the bag away. All’s well that ends well, and mom is out of bed now, so they can start their day. Mission accomplished.
