Golden Retriever Hunts Lizards with True Focus Like It's His Full Time Job originally appeared on PetHelpful. Golden Retrievers are one of the most playful dog breeds around. They just love life, no matter what they are doing. Whether it's naptime, playtime, or dinnertime, it is always easy to tell when a Golden is living their best life! Marley, a 7-year-old Golden Retriever, loves being outside, soaking up some fun in the sun. Recently, his mom shared a video of him playing in the front garden and it has people cracking up. They live in Florida, and if you have ever been there, you know that as the sun goes down in the evenings, the lizards come out to play! Well, they likely come out to eat bugs for dinner, but as far as Marley is concerned, they are outside strictly for his entertainment. The video starts out, and you can tell that Marley has a lizard in his sight. He takes a brief moment to assess the situation. Then he jumps in to seize the opportunity to greet his new playmate, literally. One minute he is standing outside of the garden's edge, and the next minute all four of his paws leave the ground at the exact same time in the cutest little Golden Retriever bunny hop you have ever then uses his powerful sniffer to follow the lizard through the garden, one inch at a time. Unfortunately for Marley, the lizard won this round and got away without having to play. However, something tells me this Golden Retriever will be using his cat-like reflexes for another round of lizard-hunting in the near future! This pup is racking up fans left and right with many of them leaving fun comments about his lizard leaping antics, including: 'As the tail wags, that happy hunter is so amazingly special.' 'I'm gonna watch the hop a million times!' 'A golden gazelle hunting lizard gizzard, LOL!' 'I love watching when Golden bears do the FOOMP! That is what we call it when our Golden does it!!' Golden Retrievers, with their friendly and loyal personalities, have an adorable knack for making people fall in love with them. We can add Marley to the lengthy list of Goldens we love!
