This Golden Retriever Joined Mom at the Gym, and It Was Amazingly Chaotic
Leave it to Todd the golden retriever to make going to the gym a fun bonding activity. The famous pup recently showcased how he likes to work out in a new clip alongside his human, which has more to do with his clinginess to his mom than with physical activity.
The viral golden retriever is known on the internet for his hilarious mischief and skits, which often include his father, Tucker. Both goldens have become clear fan-favorites on social media, and it's not hard to see why. The two adorable golden retrievers know a thing or two about how to make their fans laugh with their over-the-top skits and chaotic internal thoughts that have us cackling at all times.

Todd is less interested in getting his summer body ready and is more interested in spending one-on-one time with his human. Running alongside his mom on a separate treadmill just for dogs proved to be too far away for the Golden Retriever, who asked to be even closer.

With his signature mischievous grin, Todd hopped onto his mom's treadmill to be as close as possible and to help her get her steps done faster. While we don't know that six legs on one treadmill gives you the most accurate results, we can't help but think he was just trying to help his mom finish her workout a little faster.
In the comment section, Todd's internet fans couldn't help but laugh at this golden's "helpful" treadmill walk. "Double the steps, half the electricity. Your Golden is living in the future," added one commentator. Another user pointed out the obvious with, "Tell me your Todd is clingy without telling me your Todd is clingy. You go first. LOL"
Although we are positive that Todd's mom would rather work out on the treadmill alone, at least she can say her furry friend is hands-on in caring for her physical health. But with that adorable Golden Retriever smile and fluff, we can't help but forgive him for being just a little bit clingy.
