In a comical turn of events on the streets of New York City, a Golden Retriever named Levi became fixated on what he perceived as a giant stick. His owner, Melissa Mitas, shared a video capturing Levi's intense interest in a woman's walking stick, which the dog instinctively believed was a large branch ready for retrieval.
Levi's excitement was palpable as he tugged on his leash, his natural instincts overriding his understanding of the object's true purpose.
