My Border Collie does the same..
My Border Collie does the same..
It’s cute but it’s fake. It’s filmed inside an apartment and entering into a bathroom. The dog obvs knows the “maintenance man.” Sorry guys - clickbait. Fake. But doggo cuteness is real!

😂😂😂 A+ guard doggying!
I LOVE that Cosmo brings over his toy to show the new friend 💜
Sweet baby! ❤️
It's the Goosebumps dog.
Mad respect to the maintenance gentleman for loving on Cosmo. 50/10 for both.
When I was growing up, we had a golden retriever and often said he would hold the flashlight for the burglar LOL
♥️♥️♥️
Hi fren! Lol.
Your dog needs company. Spending so much time in solitary confinement is torture to emotional creatures. Get a cat, another dog but please people your pets aren’t just playthings you can put in a closet when not convenient. 16 hrs a day min. alone w/no companionship is just cruel. Be good to them
Why do you assume this dog is spending so much time alone?
You’re right, my bad. It’s just so many do I felt compelled to make people reconsider the impact it has on their fur babies. Just like how we can forget how badly hot pavement can burn their paws when walking them. Just seen too many suffering & abused animals that educating becomes a compulsion.
Excellent security!
"That is not my dog" 🐺
It is a Golden, silly. He even brought him one of his toys 🥰
@lythicthedestroyer.bsky.social
To a certain extent, I find this adorable!... BUT, I love the fact that my two little Chihuahuas are also "Watch Dogs" protecting me and our house! ...Something to say here as well!
We had an Irish setter who liked to sit in the yard and bark at teenage boys. Not the girls, just the boys. 🩷
I need a couple of Cosmos!
Great companion dog! Security, maybe he needs some work on that.
Apparently he loves everyone, even the strangers.
As soon as I saw that Cosmo was a golden, I knew exactly how this would go, right down to the presentation of his favorite toy.
Yeah, my little baby would destroy any male that may try to come into my home. 😉
Chihuahuas will bite your toes off.
Only men, she was sadly abused by a man before I rescued her, so I honestly don't blame her. I've spent almost 10 years now making sure she knows she's safe and loved.
My 4lb Maltese has never been anything but spoiled… …but she tries to attack any man who enters our territory! She won’t bother anyone when we go out…but someone entering our apt/car/hotel room is another thing entirely! She somehow makes her bark sound like a Rottweiler when a man’s at the door!
Love bug!!!
He's lonely!
i agree with the maintenance guy: cosmo is such an excellent dog
Yeah the toilet is overflowing but what is important right now is LOOK AT MY TOY.
😅
Definitely NOT a guard dog at all!
😂 Our dog also greets strangers at the door like long-lost family members.
Lol. We had a pitbull when I was a kid, and she was so friendly she let someone rob our house. Smh. Lol.
I also have a Cosmo! And he would do the exact same thing.
That would be my dog too!
Well, that's definitely a watchdog fail, Cosmo. 😉😘🥰
Border collies are said to be more selective, but not mine. This is definitely how she greets anyone who comes in the house; stranger or family.
We used to joke that if a robber broke into our house, our German Shepard would show him to the jewels
Goldens have a lot to teach about humanity. If only humans would listen and apply their teachings the world would be a much better place.
Labrador welcoming committee 😂❤️😂
A born attack dog!!😂😂😂😂
My dogs are absolutely positive that anyone coming to our - no, THEIR house - is only there to pet or feed them treats, whether I’m home or not.
😹
Awwww sweet boy is even offering his toy ❤️
No dog – or cat – I’ve ever had would’ve reacted that way to a strange man entering our home territory… *especially* without me there to let him in myself! 😳 Granted, I’ve never had a golden retriever, but…🤷🏻♀️
I swear my Lab would leave with the UPS driver if they let him 🙄
Well, they DO have very cool trucks.
Precious boy❤️🐶
My dog definitely has different feelings about strangers letting themselves in.
Mine, too. All 130 pounds of him has OCD. If something doesn't belong in his territory, he will bark until the unfamiliar person/object is removed. This includes random power tools that traverse the living room. I wish he was more chill. (He's super sweet when there is no fence or door.)
Mine is just a shar pei mix, lol. She's gotta know people were ALLOWED in. She got quite upset when apartment maintenance tried letting themselves in while I was in the bathroom. If I let them in, she likes them and will get a little nosy about what they're doing.
Exactly! They take a cue from us about what/who belongs. If people walking down the street stop to talk to me, he immediately stops barking. He figures he's done his job. Now it's my problem. I wish he was as easy to convince about cats and squirrels.
My dog wishes deer hunting with dogs was legal in our state, lol!
Awww Cosmo's a lil love bug!! 😍
That would be my Penelope! She wants to be everyone's friend!
My brother had a big black dog, must have been part Great Dane. He had the scariest bark, but once you came into the house, he would gladly have shown you where the valuables were. He was the sweetest dog.
Not my dog!!!
Horrible watch dog. Best snuggler in the universe.
Hi, Mr. Robber! Come on in, n see my toy?
"Of course I'll show you where the TV is! And here's all my toys, too, and the pretty rocks mom wears are over here..." 😂😂😂
He is a better greeter than a screener. More of a friend … Than an intruder’s end.
Yep, my Labrador just like Cosmo make the best guard dogs money can buy. Just lick them intruders to death!
If it were a burglar , he’d lead him to the valuables and help him carry them out! 😂
Hey Cosmo where does your human keep his valuables? This is a guard dog who kills with kindness.
My "guardian dog" would 100% show a burglar where the valuables are if shown just the tiniest bit of attention. If offered a piece of cheese, she'll give up the wifi password and the combo to the safe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goldens aren't guardians, they're greeters. 😉❤️
HE CHEATED ON U !!!!!!!
What's your address and where do you keep the gold bullion?
No worries, your dog will show me.
Keep him away from Noem.
So precious, even shares his toys. Thanks 🐶❤️
So sweet! I miss having a dog.
He's a Golden Retriever, they love everyone.
😁 did he give him a tour , or just a toy
😍😍😍
I love this! My paranoid side would lowkey wonder why my dog seems to have a long-established friendship with the maintenance person. Then again, my dogs are chow mixes, so, yeah. 😂
Worst guard dog ever 13/10
This one gets an F But it’s in it’s DNA Only sweetness in those dogs
This is how he defends his home. Just distract until help arrives. It's a cunning plan.
waggy af 13/10 hi new fren
Your dog is very lonely
😂
Oh the toy presentation. ❤️ Very important part of the welcome ritual.
Not a suspicious bone in him! Just a friendly doggie! 😻
I love it!
I love Cosmo. But when I did this to the maintenance guy I got a much worse reaction...
He didn’t want to rub your belly? Boo.
We often take our Golden to Butchart Gardens, our nearby tourist attraction, so she can have big reunions with complete strangers! 🐾
Golden’s are everyone’s best buds!
Can I has that flashlight? I'll hold it for you.
My dog is much the same. Just useless as a watch dog, but a wonderful companion!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dog would do something similar as she LOVES people.
So not a “watch dog?”
Will Rogers of the dog world
💗💗💗
So brave...
Well, it's a Golden so....
“You may be a burglarar but here’s my stuffy. If you play with it, we’re cool and you can help yourself to my human’s Warhammer collection.”
Exactly. That's my boy. Not a guard dog. Just a big loveable goof who loves everyone at the door with a stuffy in his mouth.
Such a throwback! Lilo was the best of girls. We were robbed and she was only one in the apartment. They took things, but she was unharmed and that was only thing that mattered. I know her philosophy was that strangers are friends we haven't met yet. .
Do you have nice stuff to steal? Message me your address and schedule when you’ll be out.
"... and here's where Mommy keeps her jewellery!"
What a ferocious guard dog. I feel super safe
Okay, so not a guard dog but at least you'll have time to call the police while the burglars are playing with Cosmo.
There's your vicious guard dog. He kills them with kindness and licks.
Cosmo might have sensed that the maintenance man wasn't a threat. He seems like a very good dog. He might react differently to someone who is a threat. All 3 of our dogs reacted to most people the same way. 1 family member came by for dinner, and they all had the hair on their back stand up and bark
Cosmo managed to distract the potential burglar into giving him belly rubs. Cosmo is a true crime fighter!!!
So true!!
Can’t do crime if you’re too busy petting the belly!
Yes that's true
Goldens are happiness.
that’s terrifying guard dog behavior. the poor maint guy could’ve drowned from over-licking & drool puddles. “This is Cosmo. He doesn't believe in stranger danger. Because strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. 13/10”
"You are such an excellent dog" is such a cute and true sentence
Awesome response! I love this dog!
❤️❤️❤️
I have never met a golden whom I did not immediately love with my whole heart
True. But I encountered two goldens owned by the same ahole and they were the most vicious aggressive animals in any dog park I've ever seen. They immediately ran thru the gate and just started attacking dogs left n right before launching into mine. It got ugly. Ahole people make ahole dogs.
Definitely environment over nature.
Rebels: Explains why neighbor’s 2 German Shepherds were so aggressive. Deceased now. Unfortunately, neighbor alive and well, has 2 new dogs, 1 a German Shepherd pup. It acts up, calling animal control
I hate that pit bulls get such a bad rap. When it's the irresponsible aholes the breed attracts.
Pit bulls are rightly banned in some countries because of their bite strength and the possibly lethal consequences when their owners are arseholes. My neighbor shouldn’t own German Shepherds, relieved the dogs are dead. Ownership of certain breeds should be regulated
I remember a story from a lady here in Germany. She runs a shelter and is an insanely good dog whisperer. She can get along with almost any dog. She told in her book that the most dangerous dog she ever met was a Golden. Owner had used an electric shock collar from remote... Like observing
The poor dog via camera and "discipline" it for the slightest mistake. Even she couldn't handle that dog. It would attack and go all in on the slightest triggers.
I only say I love you too: Family Lifelong friends Dogs I met ten seconds ago
Yeah I’m gonna have to constantly have one for the rest of my life. I have a golden doodle right now, and I love her so much.
Ah yes, the ”hello“ stretchies. Love it!
Goldens: "Here's the jewels!"
This made me lol so hard! 🤣
Pup is probably lonely, locked up alone for too long. 😢 I don't understand why people think it's OK to keep high energy dogs in an apartment or locked in the house all day. Does he ever get to run off leash? At least he's not stuck in a crate. (no, they DON'T "like it")
My friend lives at the edge of a park with their pitbull. The dog whines all day long because he has to watch dozens of strangers come and go that he can't go out and become immediate friends with. He loves every single person he meets. It's his life's goal to befriend the universe.
🥰
They're good judges of character
Quite the watchdog you got there...🧡🧡🧡
Sharing hiz toys - same-same as my Gud Boy Archie. GUD BOYZ.
As soon as I saw him move away, I knew that he was going to be coming back with a toy.
Same!
I’m dying!!!
So very Golden! 🥰
Ugh my dog is the same. If a burglar ever broke in she would just want a belly rub.
I just had to take an insulin shot to cope with this video! It's way too sweet!
Cosmo can be my friend any day!
Great tactic lulling the intruder in a false sense of security. Next level guard dog. 💪
The best video.
Goldens. It’s who they are.
Not high enough of a rating, give him infinity/10
😆 Cosmo has never met a stranger.
Um.... if you want a guard dog, and golden retriever is not even close to the right choice...lol
I have two cats. One will run away if someone new comes over. The other thinks everyone is his best friend.
Cosmo just wants to hang out! Ain't nothing wrong with that.❤️
Well... I'm in love with Cosmo
Took him longer than I thought it would to show off his toy.
Thanks for keeping us safe, Cosmo! Good job!
Oh yeah, he’s gonna help robbers carry your stuff to their truck. 🤭
Dogs know people. This was clearly a very good person. 13/10
Our manager sent me a text to tell me our dog was “convincing” and there was no way he would have come in if he didn’t know him. He takes his job very seriously it would seem.
Fierce🤭😍🐶🥰
LOL Good dog Cosmo. 💙💙💙
They're besties now.
Such a good boy❤️ My Rottweilers does not welcome people like that - they knock visitors to the floor and lick them 😂
A friend texted me, was I close to her house, could I go by and grab her laundry off the line before an incoming storm please? I did- her rottweiler let me enter through the dog door, grab a basket, pull the laundry, place it inside, have big sloppy greetings, and then lock up again. 🤣
😂You'd have been dead meat if you'd have done that with our doberman. He was great with family and friends—when my parents were around, but neither friend nor foe had better have tried to enter when they weren't at home! We had the blood stains on the wall to prove that intruders were NOT welcome.
You are a great friend, nobody could make me enter through a dog door😂🤣 Most Rottweilers are sweet giants ❤️
cool maintenance guy 😊
That’s what I say about our puppy. No strangers, just friends she hasn’t met yet. Good to see this after hearing how our judicial system is going to hell with the confirmation of Emil Bove. I have some choice words for him I’m not allowed to say anymore but can say”same to you, buddy. No honor 4U.”
Haha , the best . He should screen his guests though 😂
He’s a lover, not a fighter!
What a Love🩵
But this is Cosmo's secret plan, to distract with belly rubs until the cops arrive!
No, that’s a true guard dog
He could lick somebody to death...it could happen!
I live with 3 goldens. They are NOT guard dogs.
I recently fostered a golden who was thrown from a car preggers. She gave birth two days later, so she had to endure the pain for 8 weeks as she nursed. Everyone is now happy and spoiled in new homes, but everywhere she went, a stuffed animal had to be in her mouth. I guess it's a golden thing, lol.
Omg he brought him a toy.
A dog will protect YOU, not your property. He has no concept of property. As a decorator, I know dogs that will bark like mad when I first come to see a client, will not say a word when I let myself in, while the family is at work.
EXCEPT for Shar-pei. Their responsibility is the protection of the property - that's why, every few hours they get up and tour the length and breadth of the home place, to make sure all is at it should be. If it isn't? They come and find me and tell me what's wrong.
And do they do this when you're not there? It's still you they are protecting. My son has 2 Shar-peis. When he's out, they slob on the sofas.
He does it on a schedule, whether I am there or not. 'Course, my boy's a bonemouth and a rescue. He's protecting the homestead - I'm just one part of it.
Everyone has a calling. Cosmo’s is definitely NOT guard dogging.
and to bring him his favourite toy! oh my heart Twu Wuv💞
I love how the maintenance guy squeals with delight.
I’m screaming 🤣🤣🤣 - if he came in my house, I’d be mopping up blood for 2 days.
Boop
I’ve got a Lab. I’m sure she’d direct any intruder to ever valuable I’ve got for bit of food and a belly rub.
Fortunately, the Lab version of “valuable” is the peanut butter jar, the bacon stash, and the cheese.
Yup. Fortunate for me I don’t keep the safe in the pantry or fridge 🐕🦺
@manraysky.bsky.social every time I see a golden retriever I think, "the Gateway Dog!" which I'm sure I got from you.
Clearly bringing that skeleton toy was a threat. “Belly rubs or this is how you’ll end up”
But did Cosmo let him leave ? Our Goldie would let people in but wasn’t so happy when they wanted to leave 😂
No he’s a maintenance guy. So he just maintains 24/7 belly rubs 😂
I have a feeling that this flat is going to see a lot more maintenance in the future 😁
Best kept flat in the block
I believe this dog’s super power is being so cute and personable he would be able to convince anyone who broke in to play with him so long they would forget why they were there and would just leave, no harm done and having had a really enjoyable day. ❤️🐶
It’s the “oh darn it where are my manners, let me just grab.. here! Welcome,welcome! Here is my bestest toy! I offer this toy as a greeting from my kind to yours! Here begins the Treaty of Eternal Friendship! Belly rub cements it! Today is the best day!”
Terrifying doggo
Cosmo’s a lover not a fighter
We don't deserve dogs. That said, that dog would 100% go with that guy, if asked.
How can people leave dogs alone at home all day???
🤣🤗
What a delightful fella he is!
Cosmo's blissfully naive worldview and adorably misguided trust in humanity warrants a significantly higher rating, clearly he's a solid 15/10.
What a big fuzzy goof
@rningscissors.bsky.social
I love cosmo
Concur. Such an excellent doggo
Yes. Great guard dog you got there 😂
Cosmo: Coming in is fren shape. Playtime and tummy rubs confirm: Is fren!!
On the upside, that little dog could probably lick you to death…
... or beat you to death, with that waggy tail ...
Hello fren! Let me show you where the valuables are! 😂😂🥰🥰
Cosmo, you rock!
