Obedient Golden Retriever Takes Song’s Lyrics A Little Too Seriously

Ellie, the golden retriever, always does this when she hears this song.

Every dog owner strives to have a dog that obeys orders immediately and without question. However, Ellie the golden retriever might be a little too eager when she hears this song. “Turn around, bright eyes, turn around…” We all know the song, Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. When it is played for Ellie, she obediently turns around.

During a recent TikTok trend called “The Turn-Around Challenge,” people played the song while trying to turn themselves around in awkward ways set by the challenge. Most humans failed the challenge, but a hilarious side effect was the number of animals that heard the words and immediately complied. Just call Bonnie Tyler the dog whisperer, I guess.

These dogs taught each other the challenge. Apparently, two of these pups knew how to turn around and taught the third while listening to the song. They’re a little out of sync, but still hilarious.

The size of the dog doesn’t make a difference. Big dogs, little dogs, dogs who climb on beds… they all love the song and the challenge.

Did you catch that parody of the Oscar Mayer Weiner song? Old, but classic, and it fits. That little dachshund is just as proud as he can be every time he turns around. Ellie, the golden retriever, was definitely not the only dog who responded to that song.

These dog siblings are also predictable. Their human begins laughing before the words even hit because they know what is coming. The synchronization is almost perfect right to the end.

Ellie, the golden retriever, has sent me down a rabbit hole of videos that will not turn my life around. However, they have brought me some belly laughs.

Please share.
