“Golden Retriever Acts as Caretaker, Tucks Owner into Bed and Turns Off Light When She Falls Asleep” (ViDeo)

Tianlang the golden retriever has become a viral sensation after he was filmed taking care of his owner who had accidentally fallen asleep while on the phone, in her home in China

A lovable golden retriever has been filmed tucking his owner into bed after she fell asleep.

He then decides to take her phone from her hand before dragging the blanket over her.

For the finishing touch, the pooch jumps up on its hind legs and switches off the light.

The amazing footage, taken in eastern China, first surfaced in August last year on Chinese social media.

But it has exploded once more online after being shared to TikTok by @goldenretriever07.

More than 3 million people have liked the video with thousands more flocking to the comments section to voice their thoughts.

“Great, now I have to try and convince my husband that we should get a golden retriever,” one viewer wrote.

Another commented: “We don’t deserve dogs.”

“See this is why dogs are better than cats,” a third said.

And a fourth gushed: “I’m not crying, you’re crying.”

It is not the first time golden retrievers have gone viral thanks to their adorable features.

Last week, a story emerged about a cute pooch who was born with a mohawk – and still has it today.

Meanwhile, another golden retriever could not contain her excitement at being given a treat on her 11th birthday.

And another youngster recently discovered a dishwasher for the first time. His hilarious reaction quickly saw the video become a viral hit online
