We can’t get enough of a good bromance, especially when it involves a dog and his human grandfather! That’s exactly what we get in this hilarious TikTok by @dukethatgolden. The 23-second video, which has already racked up over a million views, showcases Duke, a golden retriever, bonding with his grandpa over the holidays. The caption reads, “Exposing my golden retriever & his grandpa that have a really SPECIALLLL bro bond. He is the first grandchild…”
The video kicks off with the text, “Things I’ve caught my golden retriever and dad doing while we’re home for the holidays,” followed by a shot of Duke giving the camera a funny look. First up, the caption says, “Hand-fed scrambled eggs in the morning (there was sausage too),” and we see Duke standing next to his grandpa in the kitchen. True to the caption, grandpa hand-feeds Duke some breakfast leftovers straight from his plate before cleaning up.

Next, the caption reads, “Getting his teeth brushed after every meal.” Sure enough, we see Duke and grandpa again in the kitchen, with grandpa gently brushing Duke’s teeth. Then it switches to “learning how to wrestle,” showing Duke and grandpa on the living room floor. Grandpa starts a playful “wrestling” session with Duke, and after they finish, grandpa teaches Duke how to shake paws and say “Good game.”
And just like that, the video wraps up. The comments on the TikTok are as adorable as the video itself. User @Jennifer jokes, “The teeth brushing was hiding the evidence.” @Milliepod adds, “I only see two golden retrievers.” Another commenter says, “My dad kept taking my golden to the garage with him this weekend. He used the excuse, ‘Let you guys eat without interruption.’”
It’s so heartwarming to see the special bond between grandpas and their grand-pups. I totally get it—I’ve even started referring to my siblings’ pets as my “dog and cat nieces and nephews.” There’s nothing like spending quality time with your furry extended family members!
