Goldie's Crate Trick Captivates Millions: Viral Video Reveals Pup's Unexpected Talent

In a delightful display of canine ingenuity, a seven-month-old golden retriever named Bixby has captivated the internet with his unexpected talent. A video of Bixby lying in his crate and scratching the bottom, creating a soothing, rhythmic sound, has gone viral, amassing over 712,000 views since it was posted on November 5.

The owner, who runs the @bixbythegolden account, was just as surprised as the viewers to discover Bixby's unique ability. "I don't think I even knew they could do this," the owner wrote in the caption, as the on-screen text questioned whether others had witnessed their dogs discovering their nails could produce such noises.

Viewers have drawn comparisons to Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos, which are known to induce a tingling sensation through certain sounds or visuals. One commenter joked that Bixby was "making tally marks like he's in prison counting the days," while others questioned the lack of bedding in his crate.

The owner explained that Bixby is a golden retriever, a breed "literally known for eating stuff they know they shouldn't," which is why the crate is kept bare for his safety. Despite this, the owner confirms that Bixby is a "goofy, silly, happy boy" who has captured the hearts of thousands with his unexpected talent.
