A woman’s viral TikTok clip has internet viewers in a state of pure adoration over her golden retriever puppy.
The video, which showed the pup trying on a new raincoat that makes him look like an adorable frog, received over 562,000 views. The wholesome clip has viewers obsessed with the puppy, named Barney, who is just 4 months old.
In the footage, a series of on-screen captions narrated the experience from the pup’s perspective.
“‘I have a new raincoat. Would you like to see?'” the owner captioned the video. “‘OK, here it is …'” The caption introduced the star of the show: “Barney tried on his new raincoat today, please be nice to him … and yes, Barney owns a proper rain jacket, this is for fun!”
The Cutest Frog on the Internet
The video shows Barney standing patiently while wearing the green raincoat, which features large, googly frog eyes on the top of the hood. The puppy seems to be a little unsure of the outfit, but his stoic nature only adds to the cuteness.
In the comments, Barney’s owner said the coat, a dog costume meant for laughs, was a bit tricky to size. She told a user, “it’s a 5XL (which is crazy, but you need to size up like six sizes!)” and added that he “walked OK in it, but he wouldn’t sit down.”
Internet viewers’ reaction was immediate and filled with pure joy.
One user couldn’t contain their excitement: “I don’t think you realize how much I need to fuss over this pup,” they wrote. Another’s comment summed up the general consensus, declaring Barney to be “the cutest frog I’ve ever seen.”
Many people felt an instant connection to the puppy and his funny outfit.
“Do me a favor please? Give him a gentle kiss on the head and tell him I would die for him. Thank you,” one user wrote.
For many, the video was a sign to get a similar dog accessory for their own pets.
“I need some clothes for my baby too,” a commenter noted. Barney’s owner replied, “This is your sign!” encouraging others to join in on the fun.
The owner’s social-media page has been documenting Barney’s growth since she collected him at 8 weeks old. The account is full of puppy videos showing his journey from a tiny puppy to a now-4-month-old internet sensation.
