Instagram user @candidlyashleigh shared a video on Instagram, featuring one happy Golden Retriever named Ace and his baby sibling, Beau, who seemingly cannot get enough of each other. Ace turns the kitchen into a mini show, jumping up to catch treats like it’s his full-time job. Baby Beau sits nearby in a high chair and watches every move — then immediately erupts into a hard laugh the second Ace springs into the air. It happens again and again: Beau never gets tired of it, and Ace doesn’t either.
Golden Retriever jumping to catch treats has baby giggling
The video’s on-screen caption anticipates a long bond between the Golden Retriever and the baby, saying what everyone is thinking: “I think they’re about to be best friends.” In the video, Ace stays close to Beau’s chair, sitting politely and then popping up to snag another treat. Beau, at the same time, looks completely locked in as if he is watching the greatest comedy special of his life — and for Beau, he certainly is.
The bittersweet caption adds the bigger family context behind the moment: “The dog we got our older boys while we waited through loss for our sweet baby. Now Beau’s here, eating real food, and I think Ace is realizing this kid might be worth keeping.”
If you are familiar with dogs and babies in one frame, you understand Ace and Beau’s dynamic — a dog would want to cater to the baby, protect them, and play with them to keep them close. And babies love the company. Overall, it’s a win-win situation and a good reason to get a furry friend for your baby.
Viewers were certain that this friendship was already final. One person wrote, “They are about to form a bond no one can beat!!!” while another chimed in with “Baby likes the dog!” Meanwhile, more than one viewer couldn’t get over Beau’s reaction, with one comment saying, “That belly laugh melts my heart! He’s so cute!”
