Love triangles are always messy.
This tale of jealousy, protection, and affection involves two humans and a dog. Yes, you read that correctly!
One husband was caught by surprise when his canine companion emphatically barred him from his own wife.
The ensuing “quarrel” is one for the adorable history books!
Meet Bailey the beautiful golden retriever.
Golden retrievers are the best.
They’re among the most intelligent and popular dog breeds in the world.
Seriously, they’re beloved by everyone. They’re kind, smart, and beautiful!
And sometimes they’re pretty protective!
Dad had to learn the hard way today.
Mom’s under the watchful eye and protection of the Golden Knight!
Don’t worry, Bailey’s much more engaged than he appears! His aloofness is calculated, lowering any perpetrator’s guard.
Husband walks his fingers up Mom’s lower leg.
By this point, Bailey’s perked up.
He doesn’t like what he sees!
Dad hasn’t crossed the line yet, but he’s getting dangerously close.
Mom keeps her cool like nothing’s happening.
The video’s cheeky, whimsical classical music adds some playful flavor to the shenanigans!
Husband inches a little further, one finger at a time.
Suddenly, Dad crosses the proverbial line.
Bailey’s not having any of it, cutting off Husband’s motion and protecting Mom’s feet!
Bailey’s capable of a broad range of emotions… including jealousy!
He’s so protective because he loves Mom so much!
And honestly, Bailey is extra adorable when he’s protective.
This little “quarrel” may lead you to believe that Bailey and his father have proverbial beef.
Turns out, Bailey and Dad are stars!
They’ve been adding to their hit YouTube channel for years!
Funny Dog Bailey has hundreds of thousands of subscribers across the globe. In fact, he has over half a million at this very moment!
Dad tries another angle of attack. Maybe the change of position will lower Bailey’s keen guard.
Husband holds his wife’s hand. As usual, she’s cool as a cucumber.
Bailey’s instantly suspicious.
He’s keeping a close eye on this developing situation.
Bailey proceeds to smother their embrace. He simply will have none of it!
Every time Husband gets too close to Mom, Bailey’s there to break it up.
But Dad has some tricks up his sleeve!
Unfortunately for him, Bailey’s a smart dog!
Dad’s over-the-back trickery gets snuffed out in a split second.
Sometimes, Dad goes a little too far.
According to Bailey, that is.
And when Dad goes too far, sparks fly. Things get a little heated, but in an adorable, loving kind of way.
Mom’s reaction to an offscreen skirmish is perfect!
At the end of the day, Bailey and her dad love each other to death.
Is his wife off-limits when Bailey’s around?
Maybe, but that’s okay.
I’d be jealous, too, Bailey!
Their hug says it all.
Although it may be hard to tell in this video, Bailey and his dad are best buds! Bailey, Mom, and Dad appear to have a wonderful, loving life together.
The trio has a ton of adorable videos featuring Bailey as the standout star.
He’s a big, golden ball of love.
And he’ll protect what he loves at all costs!
