A Golden Retriever has captured the internet’s attention with his adorably inventive way of asking for treats, and TikTok users can’t get enough of it. Rather than barking or whining, this clever boy has developed a signature “paw signal” that makes his cookie request impossible to ignore.
The hilarious moment was posted on Loofy’s TikTok account, @loofy_golden, where he has already built a loyal following of 11.8K fans and more than 540K likes. His cheerful bio says it all, “Hi! I’m Loofy! I’m a 4-year-old golden retriever, livin my best life.”
In the now-viral video, Loofy looks up at the refrigerator with laser-focused determination, raises his paw, and gently scratches the door as if pressing a secret snack button. His owner jumps in, half-laughing and half-scolding, asking, “Excuse me, what are you doing? Loof, stop.” The text overlay reads, “When Loof wants a cookie,” followed by the owner bursting into laughter, saying, “No? Hey! Stop! This is what he does when he wants a cookie.”
Fans flooded the comments instantly. One wrote, “That technique is paw-fect,” while another joked, “Give that pretty baby a cookie or I’m contacting the authorities.” Someone else chimed in, “Hand over all the cookies or I’m calling paw patrol,” and another fan adored his name, saying, “What a great name, loof the golden floof.”
