Golden retrievers are known for being among the sweetest pups in the world, but not everyone is aware of how stubborn they can be.
A dog walker has left the internet in stitches after sharing a video of a stubborn golden retriever refusing to move after his walk in the woods, leaving her with no choice but to resort to extreme measures to get him back home.
In a post shared on TikTok in May, under the username thecrazydoggirl, the pup can be seen rolling over his body on the floor with all his weight, refusing to leave the woods as his walker tries her best to get him back inside the car, where all the other dogs are waiting patiently, almost judging his shenanigans.

After unsuccessfully trying to convince the pup to move, the walker was left with no choice but to pick him up and move him herself.
As the video shows, golden retrievers are not exactly small dogs, so carrying them is not easy. They're classified as medium to large dogs, but their stubborn behavior makes it even harder for their owners to pick them up.
An average male golden can reach 24 inches and 75 pounds, while females are usually slightly smaller, reaching about 22.5 inches and 65 pounds, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC).
They are very affectionate and are great with children and other dogs, making them perfect family dogs.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has received over 1.5 million views and 255,500 likes.
One user, Aleycia, commented: "It ended up raining on our walk and the golden retriever I was walking ran for the nearest puddle and just sat there. Took a solid 15 minutes to convince him to get out."
Christina Marie said: "Last week my neighbour was walking her golden retriever and he did this and I heard her through my window say 'Get up, you're embarrassing me!"
Abbie (Taylor's Version) added: "Hi, husky mum here. I had to carry my 8/9 month old husky up 2 flights of stairs as she wouldn't move but done zoomies in the house once she was in."
