People are in awe of the infectious “golden retriever” energy from their partners. The term has been trending on social media for people who resemble the breed with delightful personalities. Right from having bright eyes to beaming smiles, this energy has become a crowd favorite. Genesis Figueredo—who goes by @figueredogeni on TikTok—shared a heartwarming glimpse of her boyfriend after he spotted her in a crowd. The woman titled his response on seeing her as “golden retriever” energy and his reactions are nothing short of the same. The adorable duo has left everyone smitten, awaiting the same tranquilizing experience for themselves.

“My boyfriend before and after seeing me,” the woman wrote. The man is seen in the golden light of the sun, walking through the crowd, looking for his partner. His eyes gazed around, but his expression showed he was not too excited about the day. Through his resting face, he seemed to give the impression that he was a serious and straightforward man. He had a perplexed look on his face and was hastily trying to make his way through. For a moment, it seemed like he was agitated by the people’s walking pace and just wanted to reach his destination. However, things changed in a magical jiffy once he spotted Figueredo.

His clenched eyes immediately opened, his face lit up and a smile unfurled. The man went from a serious and stern tone to the most eager and cheerful one. As soon as he spotted his girlfriend, nothing else mattered. The sun, the crowd, nothing seemed to bother him. He quickly began making his way like a golden retriever would. Upon seeing their pet parents or loved humans, the furry canines look refreshed and cheerful. They instantly leap towards their favorite person, not worrying about other things.
