New movie plot. Dog accidentally goes home to a family that mistook it for their own dog, and the humans think it's their dog but the cats know it's a different doggo
My cat disappeared for more than a month, i looked everywhere for him and low and behold i saw him walking down the street dirty and skinny.I picked him up took him home gave him food and although he was acting weird I thought the other street cats had traumatized him so i totally ignored it. Weeks later, my real cat came home. So now i have two identical cats that i cant even tell apart as they all answer to the same name.
Well this made me chuckle. precious. but imagine your original cat's indignity that he could be replaced so easily. Really funny story, animals are just a constant source of surprises
Can’t blame the owners because you EXPECT your dog to look slightly different after a visit to the groomers. What proves that the owners are good is the fact that they noticed the behavioral differences. That means they care enough about their dog to know when it is acting different
Uh where did the groomers come in? The dog went to Daycare... They picked em up from daycare so the dog would have looked exactly the same as they dropped em off.
@@shaina2323the daycare ALSO does grooming as mentioned in the video about 2-3 times. So they expected the dog to look slighting differently after getting a groom. It was a groomer + a doggy daycare
A fresh grooming can make quite a bit of difference. I wouldn't have thought that much, except my aunt had her long haired toy dog done. Poor Bo barely looked like the same dog, it was such a hatchet job. He looked chubbier and no where near as cute w/ all his whisps cut off, and so badly. Those retrievers looked enough alike, w/ a groom, whatever subtle difference they might have thought they noticed, a fresh groom could put them in doubt. Thankfully they noticed by that night w/ all the behavior differences.

The fact the golden retriever didn't react being taken away by strangers shows how much he trusts humans, even strangers which can be both a good thing or a bad thing for the dog, depends on whether the person is good or bad.
@@CJ-bb3yv I can believe that if I had a goldy, it would probably greet my robbers, open the door, let them take whatever they wanted and sent them off with tea, cookies and a hug. Heck, might even get in the car with them in case they felt lonely!
@@CJ-bb3yv My golden is actually a good guard dog. If she hears a strange noise or sees someone out the window she'll growl and watch closely. Has an intimidating bark too.
My father in law did this once. Picked the dog up from doggy day care and it was the wrong dog. He brought “her” in the house and my mother in law was like “what the hell is wrong with you, that’s not Ruby!” 😂😂
@tessdurbervill711 - I disagree. It's much better for a dog to be loved by his people in the mornings, evenings, nights and all week-end long, and to be taken well care of at a good doggie daycare where he can play with his doggie buddies, than it is for the poor dog to be stuck in a cage at an animal shelter with no one to love him. A dog would choose a loving home and doggie daycare over a shelter any day!!
@@tessdurberville711 some dogs love doggy daycare. they get to run around and play with other dogs all day. would you rather those dogs be euthanized at a shelter? chained up outside all day? should we get rid of child daycare too?
@@tessdurberville711 Its not always about people being too busy. My dog goes 1 day a week so that shes used to the people and dogs there so when I go on vacation shes comfortable with everything.
Happened to my Dad with his black lab Bart, a country dog. Dad brought home who he thought was Bart and had him for 2 days. Bart was acting weird. Crying at night, wouldn’t follow my Dad on his ATV, wouldn’t catch popcorn when my Dad threw it in the air and was pooping in the middle of the yard, Bart always went into the bush to do his business. On the other end, the Judge found it weird when he picked up his Elwood, a town dog, from the kennel and instead of hopping into his pet crate in the back of the Infiniti he climbed up front to the passenger seat… the Judge told my Dad that for a day Elwood was constantly crying at the door to go out, which he never did before. Wasn’t until the Judge’s son came home and was playing on the floor with the dog and petting him and said, “Dad, this isn’t Elwood… looks like him but it’s not him.” The kennel phoned my Dad and asked if his dog had been behaving differently since coming home… my Dad said, “Definitely!”. They explained that they feared the dogs had been switched by accident. My Dad asked, what’s the dog’s name? And they told him. Dad yelled out “Elwood!” And the dog jumped up and started wagging his tail, lol! My Dad and the Judge met back at the kennel where the staff couldn’t stop apologizing… the dogs met nose to nose and by all accounts were in fact identical. My Dad and the Judge had some laughs telling their stories about the weird behaviour of their respective dogs. Often told my Dad he should write a kids book about it or something 😂
The Cats were immediately like “WHAT THE F IS THIS?? Who is this stranger you have brought into our domicile??” That poor dog was probably so confused, yet curious. He thought he was getting a free car ride and the next thing he knew he was getting clawed and hissed at.
I had a strange moment years ago after losing my dog in '18. It was a definite hardship. There was this lady out walking her dog. It's not something I normally would have done, but I explained I'd just lost my dog, which happened to look a lot like hers, and could I please borrow her dog for a minute. I gave him a hug and just let it all out. It was one of the most healing experiences I've ever had. I'm grateful I had that last chance to say goodbye and that the woman was willing to fulfill such an unusual request!
I’m so sorry for your loss in my lifetime I have lost several and I would feel and react the same way you did. I’m glad that you came across the woman and her dog and that the experience helped you.
@@justinabraham7291 yeah they are they use methods that simply work and get them the best results for what they need were as humans are not always that smart take the stupid Russian army throwing lives away begging for what they do not need to survive that is one great example of human stupidity right there🤣🤣🤣
I almost did the same thing while picking my orange cat after he was being hospitalised in a vet clinic. There was a line up of about 3-4 almost identical orange cats, and the first one purred and responded to me nicely I thought it was my cat and almost brought him home. 😂 My cat was the last on the line up, looking thoroughly unimpressed. 😂
Remember cats act as per their moods Does not mean they will always welcome you with happy face like a dog, even if they are in a bad mood They will act ignorant if they are annoyed by your certain act
We had two orange cats, and both had dopplegangers in next street. Well our male cat and his doppleganger fought and once I found them on our steps-meowing as hell(so I went to look), opened the door and if one didn't dart home and other run away, I'd not be able to tell which one was ours. So similiar were they. Our female cat took it to next level. For several months the other family had no idea they are feeding extra cat...(she ate at home too!)
I don’t think it’s a loyalty thing, it’s more like they are too much of a social butterfly, goldens are people dogs. But yeah they would walk off with any person. 🤣😂🤣😂
I think these hosts underestimate the friendliness of golden retrievers. Every golden retriever you ever meet could be mistaken for your own pet based on how excited they are to see you 😂
"Every golden retriever you ever meet could..." Be carefull with such things. I knew a man who had a Golden Retriever who was prone to biting. He almost bit me in my hand when I was just passing buy on the street. Don't assume just by race that the dog will be friendly. He might be not.
The EXACT same thing happened to me. My golden was taken home by another family by mistake of the daycare staff and they only realized it when I came to pick up my dog and they only had that the other family’s dog. Apparently my golden was having a ball at her ‘new’ home.
That's what was missing from this story. What happened when the other family came to pick up their dog? Did they instantly know that it wasn't their dog or did they take Emme home with them and didn't know until contacted?
My dog jumó and hug me and sometimes pull me dow only when I leave he for a few hours day care at the pet sitter ! Plus I speak Italian, Spanish and a bit of English to he lol.
@@oil_painted_dessert you got that right - any animal I own, I surely will know how it will look for sure, and these two dogs do NOT even look like "twins"
I can definitely attest to that lol My boyfriend and I were riding down the street in a car once. Saw a girl riding her bike with a golden retriever on a leash as we passed. Cruised up to the red light & suddenly they appear at my side. She's out of breath and the retriever smiling big, tongue hanging out panting a little. She said he just chased us down the street when he saw us go by. She was very surprised and out of breath. 😂 If I'd been driving I would've stopped and made a new friend. But my bf wasn't as touched by that Hallmark moment 😏😁
@@yomain7227 well as true as they are friendly, hell our family owns 2, and a mini pinscher and basenji mix, however science backs up that humanity bred pit bulls for fighting and intended on them having aggressive natures Inside and embedded in their dna, though it’s slowly getting better, please do not ignore a scientific fact about the breeds personalities as much as I understand training is a huge thing, that intentional added aggression in their dna shows here and there.
Did the other family not notice they had the wrong dog as well? Fun story: Went to a house party where everyone was required to take off their shoes. When I was leaving I put on what I thought was my shoes but from the time I walked a few steps I knew something was off but couldn't figure it out. After staring for a while I realized it wasn't my shoes. It was the exact same shoes, brand, style, size and color but not mine. It was the only pair left which meant that someone else went home with my shoes!
@@Brollyssweetface Lol, yes. With the help of the host we were able to figure out who the other person was. She had already made it home before she fully noticed and was on her way back when she was contacted. Very funny.
Those retrievers have such a loving disposition and are so docile, congenial, friendly and calm that the wrong dog very happily went along with everything
Not always true, neighbors up the road from us have one and it has gone after my grandson and my granddaughter on a few occasions. I didn't believe it at first until my granddaughter showed me the videos. There is no way for the grandkids to avoid being near that house because that just happens to be where the school bus stop is.
This almost happened at a daycare I worked at. We had two little girls around 9 months old that looked very similar. One day the dad came to pick up his daughter but actually lifted up the other baby. The teacher asked why are you taking (the other child) and he took a better look and realized he had the wrong baby!
This almost happened to me. I picked up my Sheltie from the groomer. She looked a little different, but I also thought it was the grooming. Before leaving, I decided to allow the dog to relieve herself. To my surprise, the dog lifted his leg; and not squat like a female. That was my "a-ha" moment that I had the wrong dog.
I worked at a doggy daycare and this video just reminded me of something funny that happened. We had this dog named Posie who would come everyday. This one day she came to pick posie up, but then she came back later on. We were so confused, and honestly a little worried because she was an older woman and we thought she was going crazy 😆 turns out. She had a twin that we didnt know about, and they didnt communicate very well that day about who was picking Posie up 😂
@@MrSymBooat the doggy daycare where I used to take my dog, they would remove the collars so the dogs wouldn't get hurt while playing together (teeth or claws can get caught in buckles).
@@oldauntzibby4395I work at one too, and we also recently started with the no collars. Weird thing is though, they still let some dogs have their collars on. And not like “oh well we only let dogs with no dangerous things on their collar to have it on” like no, I had to pry out two pieces of plastic with my hands that a tiny dog was eating and would’ve choked on. And the dogs still roughhouse and have collars on. Like 75% of dogs have no collars, and then 25% do. It’s odd. I just wish they all had collars on so it’s easier to grab them if needed. Now you just have to do it by the scruff which is harder, and definitely more dangerous if you need to haul em off to time out for misbehaving with the other dogs, and you can’t keep a grip on them. And God forbid they get into a fight, a collar is a must have for safely getting them to release their bite.
We had a cat that looked exactly like ours walk right into our house and sit right on the couch. Just made himself right at home. We thought he was our female cat that goes and comes as she pleases. It wasn't until Millie came home that we realized we had an imposter. 😂
@@Ayverie4 Can't aren't natural to the outside ecosystem either, it's cruel to the whole natural order they disrupt and the wildlife they kill. They've wiped out so many species alone that there's a reason you're told to only let them out for walks on a leash and have them wear a collar with a well on itto notify wild animals.
Speaking of which , Years ago, I just started dating a guy, my cat came up to him and sniffed his hand, then ran off and puked. The guy turned out to be a jerk. Always trust the cat
Someone accidentally took my dog home with them at my dog’s daycare. I went to pick her up and she wasn’t there. So scary. It was an elderly woman who couldn’t tell one goldendoodle apart from another, I guess 😂😂😂😂 My dog loves old people and happily went home with her. The woman figured it out when my dog jumped on the couch (her dog isn’t allowed on the couch, my dog runs the damn household 🤣). She was returned to the daycare and when we were reunited she cried like she’d been to war.
This happened to my sister. She had a golden retriever puppy and there was one at the daycare that was the same age and gender and looked almost exactly like my sister's. My german shepherd was growling at the unknown puppy on the car ride home (he had never growled at her before, but we thought he was just tired and grumpy from daycare) and my sister noticed that the color of the dog's nails were different. Luckily, the daycare noticed right away and gave us a call! It was pretty funny!
The poor dogs were probably thinking - “This must be an extended day with extra features 🤔 Like, go to another Daycare after THIS Daycare!?!? Okay, cool” 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Lokey21 youre not being whatevered. I am saying what i would never do. Stop being so sensitive. My post had 0 to do with you. Unless youre offended because you work at a daycare I dont see how you could think that
@@3rdreichball525 looks like you’re The Sensitive One. Remember…. This is MY COMMENT where I am making a joke Ha Ha. If you didn’t get it, you should’ve kept scrolling….
the story needs to explain what the other dog's family did. Did they also accept the wrong dog and take her home? Was theirs staying over night? Anyway, cats win again.
Bingo I mean this would take two families to both not realize they had someone else's dog?! Was the other dog being boarded for a longer length of time did this all happen in a matter of hours before the other dog got picked up? I mean come on news, what happened with the other dog?
Years ago a friend saw a russel terrier running around and he freaked out cuz they looked just like his russel terrier. He brought them home and then realized that his dog Annie was already there and this dog was a boy. He ended up keeping him cuz the owners literally didn't care he was missing, said to keep him. He was such a thin and timid dog back then.. it was destiny he rescued him and gave him a twin sister and a loving family ❤
I came home from walking my kids to school and found my Maltese, Gizmo, in the neighbors yard. I yelled at him to come over, picked him up, took him inside…and found the real Gizmo. I swear to you, these dogs were identical. Gizmo (the real one) was not amused. The fake one could not have cared less. I put the fake one in the backyard and walked to my front yard to try to figure out whose dog I had stolen. Sure enough, a lady came walking down the street, looking for her dog. I felt so disconcerted that I had so easily been convinced it was mine!
I've taken home the wrong dog before too, this family had the exact same white lab like mine. Since Labs are so chill, I didn't notice it wasn't my dog. If it wasn't for the family calling my vet and calling me because they fed him chicken (he's allergic), I'd have live the rest of my life with this dog. Their dog knew the same commands, the same mannerisms, he even comes when you call him by my dog's name... Labrador's, the very definition of "I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm happy to be here."
This happened when I was a kid at the kennel. Dad picked up the wrong Golden Cocker Spaniel. He ended up with our dog’s biological father! ☺️🤭 The kennel actually figured it out within a half hour & my dad returned the father & got our dog back. 🐾❤️🐾
As a teenager there were numerous moments when I suddenly grab the elbow of some random mother in the mall thinking it was my mom. This is perfectly plausible!
Happened to us too...my husband mistakenly brought home a look-alike doggy from the daycare but realized something was wrong when that little thing refused to get out of the car, just sat on the back seat staring at him. He immediately took the pup back to the daycare and brought our puppy home😀
Believe it or not, this happened with my sister's dog, a black lab. Her husband mistakenly brought another dog home from their dog's daycare. Labs are another one of those famously friendly breeds, so when the daycare staff accidentally brought out the wrong dog to him - another female black lab about the same size and age - in the pickup area, she happily hopped right into the back seat.The staff member buckled her in so he didn't notice any difference from the front. He didn't realize the error until her got her home and noticed she was behaving strangely in the unfamiliar house and was wearing a different collar.😂
There was a story some years ago of a vet's office that had THREE identical black lab patients. Two in particular they kept mixing up with their owners. The problem was that one of the labs *really* liked one of the other families (maybe as he was from a one person household and the other family had a bunch of kids) and so he'd be super excited to see that family come in.
The family’s own dog was prob thinking, hey, why don’t we switch it up every now and again so I can have a nice vacay and you can play with the humans. lol.
Yep happen to me with our chocolate lab. As I was bringing her to the car to go home my 10 year old daughter started yelling from the car "that's not Coco" . We went back inside and sure nuff that was Coco identical twin😂 I am embarrassed I didn't notice 😊
@@xrrrismickey I asked the same question because both dogs had the white patch of hair on the chest. My daughter said she could tell because our dog is chubby and something with tail not the same as our dog
I feel like low key those golden retrievers shaked paws & busted a whole "Parent Trap" thing 😂 & at the end of the day they both appreciated their experiences & probably made them closer to their families ❤
This reminds me of the Grandpa who took the wrong kindergarten home! She was wearing a mask, and didn’t say anything about being picked up by a stranger. Crazy!
The same thing almost happened to my dog Jasper! He and his brother Frankie go to the same daycare and they are about 95% identical. They brought out my dog to his brother's owner and she was like-- Hello there Jasper! They quickly realized how easy it was to mix them up. We had a good laugh.
Twice, with the same dog no less, people have said that my dog was actually theirs. After witnessing the extreme affinity and obedience toward me, they awkwardly realized that the dog was, in fact, mine.
I almost took the wrong Westie home. The doggie daycare handed this other dog to me and I thought Linus looks smaller than I thought he was plus this Westie was happy to go home. Linus is usually not happy to leave daycare. So I led the dog to the car, put it in the basket, and my husband said “this is the wrong dog!” I took the dog back in to the day care and I told them they gave me the wrong dog. They said “Oliver! This could have been a disaster!” Then they brought Linus out to me who was not as happy as Oliver to go home
I think the funniest part of this story is the cats' resactions! I think if they hadn't got a haircut that day, it wouldn't have happened. You almost expect your animal to look different immediately after.
Another funny part of this story - the look on the "furry imposters" face in the picture with the "original" furry lol Come up with a caption on what the dog is saying / thinking someone please ! (It's the dog w/o the harness! Once you see the pic you'll know which one im talking about from the look on his face lol)
Goldens will always be golden, the most wholesome and trusting dog breed. Props to the cat for immediately figuring out it wasn't Emmie that they brought home.
This happens more often than people realize. Every grooming salon and doggy daycare has at some point sent the wrong dog home with the wrong owner. lol
At my facility we use the TabBand Max colored collars. Helps avoid situations like this when dogs look similar and you can't tell them apart!!! The bands don't snap, don't smudge with water, and come in all the colors. Colored animal tags solve the issue of sending pets off with the wrong owner. 😅
My son brought home a white kitten that he thought was one of our litter because it looked just like the other all white kittens; they were Turkish Angora mixes. Believe me, the other kittens backed the newcomer into a corner and surrounded the poor kitten. When I got home, I realized we had one too many. It was a neighbor’s new kitten. Believe me, cats always know who’s theirs!
I used to work in a doggie daycare and this happens from time to time. Sometimes a new staff member will get the names mixed up and bring out the wrong dog when the owner comes to pick them up. Usually at least one of the families notice before they get home. I’ve never heard of it getting this far before 😂
To everyone wondering why the golden retriever wouldn’t act differently… do you know how friendly those dogs are? 😂 My dog is a mix so he’d be harder to get confused with another dog. But he loves people and would probably go with another family. He might tug on the leash or something and he’d definitely cry if he was stuck in their home for a long time. But it could definitely be tricky! I’m just surprised they didn’t figure it out by the dog not recognizing it’s name!
This cracks me up because I KNOW my Schnauzer would NEVER go with someone else and there's no mistaking her cute little attitude problem! She's my love! ♥️
They’re definitely both very socialized dogs used to different people and various changes in their daily life amazing! I have eight dogs and among them the only one that I could think of who would be willing to go with a stranger is Oliver, he’s a kind of bloodhound mix we’ve had him for several years he was abandoned by a hunter and we rescued him He loves people and is always very happy even to meet strangers
I had the same thing happen with a couple stray cats. This feral cat kept scratching our front door and one day I let him in. He came in and out several times for about a week. Then one time he was in the house, we heard scratching at the door and it was another cat that looked just like him! It turns out they were both doing that, but I never saw them together until that moment. 🤣
Something similar almost happened to me once with my cat, but I realized almost immediately. lol It was nighttime and I had just gotten home, and my cat likes to sit in a certain spot in our lawn and greet people when they walk by. I saw him sitting in his spot like normal, but it was dark and I couldn’t see him too well. I thought he had been rolling in dust or dirt though, his fur looked lighter. I went to go pet him and say hi to him, but when he got scared and took off running, I immediately knew it wasn’t him! It turns out it was actually a grey cat and not a black cat, and as he ran away, my actual cat jumped out of the bushes and started chasing him. I guess that must have been a nice spot in the grass!
hey there I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hear back from you!
Only a golden retriever would willingly go home with a complete stranger 😂😂

I was just thinking this. Was probably happy to go home with whomever ….
Yeah, too friendly, too trusting.
I don't believe one could take home the wrong german shepherd...

Can’t blame the owners because you EXPECT your dog to look slightly different after a visit to the groomers. What proves that the owners are good is the fact that they noticed the behavioral differences. That means they care enough about their dog to know when it is acting different

I just think Goldens are extremely friendly and up for adventure. The dog was probably excited to leave the boredom of the "daycare"

The fact the golden retriever didn't react being taken away by strangers shows how much he trusts humans, even strangers which can be both a good thing or a bad thing for the dog, depends on whether the person is good or bad.

@@CJ-bb3yv I can believe that if I had a goldy, it would probably greet my robbers, open the door, let them take whatever they wanted and sent them off with tea, cookies and a hug. Heck, might even get in the car with them in case they felt lonely!
@@freechilli8755a golden literally did this. The robber even gave the little guy a hug before taking someone's bike.
@@newbie6377oh my goodness that’s absolutely ridiculous yet heartwarming. I’m just glad the robber didn’t hurt the puppy.
@@CJ-bb3yv My golden is actually a good guard dog. If she hears a strange noise or sees someone out the window she'll growl and watch closely. Has an intimidating bark too.
My father in law did this once. Picked the dog up from doggy day care and it was the wrong dog. He brought “her” in the house and my mother in law was like “what the hell is wrong with you, that’s not Ruby!” 😂😂
If you need to send a dog to daycare, you are too busy to have a dog.
😂😂😂
@tessdurbervill711 - I disagree. It's much better for a dog to be loved by his people in the mornings, evenings, nights and all week-end long, and to be taken well care of at a good doggie daycare where he can play with his doggie buddies, than it is for the poor dog to be stuck in a cage at an animal shelter with no one to love him. A dog would choose a loving home and doggie daycare over a shelter any day!!
@@tessdurberville711 some dogs love doggy daycare. they get to run around and play with other dogs all day. would you rather those dogs be euthanized at a shelter? chained up outside all day? should we get rid of child daycare too?
@@tessdurberville711 Its not always about people being too busy. My dog goes 1 day a week so that shes used to the people and dogs there so when I go on vacation shes comfortable with everything.
This once happened to me as a child in daycare. I'm sure I'll see my real parents again one day.

Ye
Well, you made it this far without seeing them proves your now parents are great 😊

Imagine this is real and not a joke 💀
Happened to my Dad with his black lab Bart, a country dog. Dad brought home who he thought was Bart and had him for 2 days. Bart was acting weird. Crying at night, wouldn’t follow my Dad on his ATV, wouldn’t catch popcorn when my Dad threw it in the air and was pooping in the middle of the yard, Bart always went into the bush to do his business.
On the other end, the Judge found it weird when he picked up his Elwood, a town dog, from the kennel and instead of hopping into his pet crate in the back of the Infiniti he climbed up front to the passenger seat… the Judge told my Dad that for a day Elwood was constantly crying at the door to go out, which he never did before. Wasn’t until the Judge’s son came home and was playing on the floor with the dog and petting him and said, “Dad, this isn’t Elwood… looks like him but it’s not him.” The kennel phoned my Dad and asked if his dog had been behaving differently since coming home… my Dad said, “Definitely!”. They explained that they feared the dogs had been switched by accident. My Dad asked, what’s the dog’s name? And they told him. Dad yelled out “Elwood!” And the dog jumped up and started wagging his tail, lol!
My Dad and the Judge met back at the kennel where the staff couldn’t stop apologizing… the dogs met nose to nose and by all accounts were in fact identical. My Dad and the Judge had some laughs telling their stories about the weird behaviour of their respective dogs. Often told my Dad he should write a kids book about it or something 😂
Write a book for kids about this incident. My grandkids would love it ! ❤
Yes. I agree. It would be a good book for children. Country dog and town dog!! 😊
Thanks to that son or else the dogs would both suffer
So funny. I wish we had gotten the perspective of the other owners who picked up the wrong dog!
@@ouestlelivre there's a difference?
The Cats were immediately like “WHAT THE F IS THIS?? Who is this stranger you have brought into our domicile??”
That poor dog was probably so confused, yet curious. He thought he was getting a free car ride and the next thing he knew he was getting clawed and hissed at.
Cats:
THIS IS MY OWN PRIVATE DOMICILE AND I WILL NOT BE HARASSED, B*TCH!
I had a strange moment years ago after losing my dog in '18. It was a definite hardship. There was this lady out walking her dog. It's not something I normally would have done, but I explained I'd just lost my dog, which happened to look a lot like hers, and could I please borrow her dog for a minute. I gave him a hug and just let it all out. It was one of the most healing experiences I've ever had. I'm grateful I had that last chance to say goodbye and that the woman was willing to fulfill such an unusual request!
😢
That just goes to show how special that partner was to you. Honestly a heartwarming thing to hear as well
I’m so sorry for your loss in my lifetime I have lost several and I would feel and react the same way you did. I’m glad that you came across the woman and her dog and that the experience helped you.
Yes, I’m crying. I’m so sorry for your loss 😭

That's because cats and dogs recognise each other by smell and sound. Us humans, on the other hand, are much better at processing visual information.

I almost did the same thing while picking my orange cat after he was being hospitalised in a vet clinic. There was a line up of about 3-4 almost identical orange cats, and the first one purred and responded to me nicely I thought it was my cat and almost brought him home. 😂 My cat was the last on the line up, looking thoroughly unimpressed. 😂
Your cat may be hated a doctor hence was annoyed with you
Remember cats act as per their moods
Does not mean they will always welcome you with happy face like a dog, even if they are in a bad mood
They will act ignorant if they are annoyed by your certain act
I wonder how you figured it out in the end?
"My cat was the last on the line up, looking thoroughly unimpressed"
what an ungrateful b*tch 😱
We had two orange cats, and both had dopplegangers in next street. Well our male cat and his doppleganger fought and once I found them on our steps-meowing as hell(so I went to look), opened the door and if one didn't dart home and other run away, I'd not be able to tell which one was ours. So similiar were they.
Our female cat took it to next level. For several months the other family had no idea they are feeding extra cat...(she ate at home too!)
As the Mom of a Goldie, I often say to people that she would walk off with a serial killer. Their only loyalty is to the person with food 😂
this is the PERFECT reply!
I don’t think it’s a loyalty thing, it’s more like they are too much of a social butterfly, goldens are people dogs. But yeah they would walk off with any person. 🤣😂🤣😂
Then, they are loyal to the food, not the person who gives them food.
@@enibeni2071
I think most people would just call that survival instinct.
Sh**! 🙂🤣🤣😂
I think these hosts underestimate the friendliness of golden retrievers. Every golden retriever you ever meet could be mistaken for your own pet based on how excited they are to see you 😂
LoL yeah
You Australian?
Yes. I met one during my senior year HS and she was so friendly. It was our first meeting yet ❤
XD exactly this!
"Every golden retriever you ever meet could..."
Be carefull with such things.
I knew a man who had a Golden Retriever who was prone to biting.
He almost bit me in my hand when I was just passing buy on the street.
Don't assume just by race that the dog will be friendly. He might be not.
Its very funny how the dogs didnt even seem to care that they had different humans xD
They're not called Golden Retrievers for a reason
I like how the cats were not fooled 😂
Lol
Probably because of the unfamiliar scent
Because they are animals and they know scents lol
@@CeeWorld69🤓
Hahahhaa the cats knew
The EXACT same thing happened to me. My golden was taken home by another family by mistake of the daycare staff and they only realized it when I came to pick up my dog and they only had that the other family’s dog. Apparently my golden was having a ball at her ‘new’ home.
That's what was missing from this story. What happened when the other family came to pick up their dog? Did they instantly know that it wasn't their dog or did they take Emme home with them and didn't know until contacted?
Your dog had a special treat that day by making new friends. 😂
😂😂😂
Goldens love everybody!
My dog jumó and hug me and sometimes pull me dow only when I leave he for a few hours day care at the pet sitter ! Plus I speak Italian, Spanish and a bit of English to he lol.
It would have been interesting to learn the experience of the family who took home the other dog.
I could definitely tell they are different; geez
@@mathewhorodner2000It’s possible they had a similar experience but are too embarrassed to be on tv. I know I would be.

Easily the top 3 anime betrayal
but how did the dog go home with some strangers 😂 definitely something a golden retriever would do ahaha
They are the friendliest dog on earth!!
Doggo: Well, no problem, they’re my new family.
I can definitely attest to that lol
My boyfriend and I were riding down the street in a car once. Saw a girl riding her bike with a golden retriever on a leash as we passed. Cruised up to the red light & suddenly they appear at my side. She's out of breath and the retriever smiling big, tongue hanging out panting a little. She said he just chased us down the street when he saw us go by. She was very surprised and out of breath. 😂
If I'd been driving I would've stopped and made a new friend. But my bf wasn't as touched by that Hallmark moment 😏😁
@@heddagaza2713 actually pitbulls are friendlier
@@yomain7227 well as true as they are friendly, hell our family owns 2, and a mini pinscher and basenji mix, however science backs up that humanity bred pit bulls for fighting and intended on them having aggressive natures Inside and embedded in their dna, though it’s slowly getting better, please do not ignore a scientific fact about the breeds personalities as much as I understand training is a huge thing, that intentional added aggression in their dna shows here and there.
Did the other family not notice they had the wrong dog as well? Fun story: Went to a house party where everyone was required to take off their shoes. When I was leaving I put on what I thought was my shoes but from the time I walked a few steps I knew something was off but couldn't figure it out. After staring for a while I realized it wasn't my shoes. It was the exact same shoes, brand, style, size and color but not mine. It was the only pair left which meant that someone else went home with my shoes!
That is hilarious! Did you ever get your shoes back?
@@Brollyssweetface Lol, yes. With the help of the host we were able to figure out who the other person was. She had already made it home before she fully noticed and was on her way back when she was contacted. Very funny.
That is hilarious. I thought only Michael Scott could do that.
You should have left the party first. 😁
It's 3 in the morning and I'm cracking up 😂
Those retrievers have such a loving disposition and are so docile, congenial, friendly and calm that the wrong dog very happily went along with everything
Seriously LOVE Goldens!!!!! Never ever met one I didn’t adore. I love most breeds but those are top tier for family dog
Belly rubs and treats. They’re saps 😂
Not always true, neighbors up the road from us have one and it has gone after my grandson and my granddaughter on a few occasions. I didn't believe it at first until my granddaughter showed me the videos. There is no way for the grandkids to avoid being near that house because that just happens to be where the school bus stop is.
Totally a golden retriever personality. “Strange people want me to go home with them? Ok! 🤷🏻♀️”
It's bad, these dogs can never protect you from strangers who mean harm to you.

This almost happened at a daycare I worked at. We had two little girls around 9 months old that looked very similar. One day the dad came to pick up his daughter but actually lifted up the other baby. The teacher asked why are you taking (the other child) and he took a better look and realized he had the wrong baby!
That's actually terrifying 😅 good thing the teacher could tell the difference lol
😱Glad the staff was alert!

@@matthewsalvador9783 it’s happened before with lifelong and disastrous consequences. That’s why the ID bracelet on baby, mom, and dad
This almost happened to me. I picked up my Sheltie from the groomer. She looked a little different, but I also thought it was the grooming. Before leaving, I decided to allow the dog to relieve herself. To my surprise, the dog lifted his leg; and not squat like a female. That was my "a-ha" moment that I had the wrong dog.
It’s okay in California though
@@slamdunktiger😂😂😂😂😂
Is the sheltie a good dog?
@@SumilatsFansReadURLs Yes, but you've got to train the Sheltie and be "smarter" than the Sheltie.

I worked at a doggy daycare and this video just reminded me of something funny that happened. We had this dog named Posie who would come everyday. This one day she came to pick posie up, but then she came back later on. We were so confused, and honestly a little worried because she was an older woman and we thought she was going crazy 😆 turns out. She had a twin that we didnt know about, and they didnt communicate very well that day about who was picking Posie up 😂
I thought the dogs at the care centre would have name tags or Sth?
@@MrSymBooat the doggy daycare where I used to take my dog, they would remove the collars so the dogs wouldn't get hurt while playing together (teeth or claws can get caught in buckles).
@@oldauntzibby4395I work at one too, and we also recently started with the no collars. Weird thing is though, they still let some dogs have their collars on. And not like “oh well we only let dogs with no dangerous things on their collar to have it on” like no, I had to pry out two pieces of plastic with my hands that a tiny dog was eating and would’ve choked on. And the dogs still roughhouse and have collars on. Like 75% of dogs have no collars, and then 25% do. It’s odd. I just wish they all had collars on so it’s easier to grab them if needed. Now you just have to do it by the scruff which is harder, and definitely more dangerous if you need to haul em off to time out for misbehaving with the other dogs, and you can’t keep a grip on them. And God forbid they get into a fight, a collar is a must have for safely getting them to release their bite.
😂😂😂😅hahaaa!
The cats KNEW. My dog behaves totally differently after a haircut. But that's still my dog.
😂
Plot Twist: you've been getting a different dog after each haircut 😂😂

Golden retrievers are "Hey, I don't know you but whatever. You're people and I love people."
We had a cat that looked exactly like ours walk right into our house and sit right on the couch. Just made himself right at home. We thought he was our female cat that goes and comes as she pleases. It wasn't until Millie came home that we realized we had an imposter. 😂
If you do not care enough to keep your cat inside. .....

It's cruel to keep a cat inside. You can see they develop mental problems. It is not natural.
@@Ayverie4 Can't aren't natural to the outside ecosystem either, it's cruel to the whole natural order they disrupt and the wildlife they kill.

No, it's on a cat by cat basis.

Speaking of which ,
Years ago, I just started dating a guy, my cat came up to him and sniffed his hand, then ran off and puked.
The guy turned out to be a jerk.

@@spiralrose the cat always knows
I like how the cat has better identifying skills than the owners!😂😂
They can just smell that this was not the same dog.
Because they could smell that it was a different dog, humans don't have as powerful a sense of smell
Like animal senses
Animals can speak to each other on a non verbal level even if you ignore smell and other factors.
Someone accidentally took my dog home with them at my dog’s daycare. I went to pick her up and she wasn’t there. So scary. It was an elderly woman who couldn’t tell one goldendoodle apart from another, I guess 😂😂😂😂 My dog loves old people and happily went home with her. The woman figured it out when my dog jumped on the couch (her dog isn’t allowed on the couch, my dog runs the damn household 🤣). She was returned to the daycare and when we were reunited she cried like she’d been to war.
The trauma of being kicked off the couch lol
My parents did the same with me in PreSchool. They never figured it out, but that’s fine. My new parents are cool.

Did the cat figure it out? lol
This happened to my sister. She had a golden retriever puppy and there was one at the daycare that was the same age and gender and looked almost exactly like my sister's. My german shepherd was growling at the unknown puppy on the car ride home (he had never growled at her before, but we thought he was just tired and grumpy from daycare) and my sister noticed that the color of the dog's nails were different. Luckily, the daycare noticed right away and gave us a call! It was pretty funny!
The poor dogs were probably thinking - “This must be an extended day with extra features 🤔 Like, go to another Daycare after THIS Daycare!?!? Okay, cool”

Yes! I was definitely wondering about that.
Bingo I mean this would take two families to both not realize they had someone else's dog?!
Was the other dog being boarded for a longer length of time did this all happen in a matter of hours before the other dog got picked up? I mean come on news, what happened with the other dog?
Years ago a friend saw a russel terrier running around and he freaked out cuz they looked just like his russel terrier. He brought them home and then realized that his dog Annie was already there and this dog was a boy. He ended up keeping him cuz the owners literally didn't care he was missing, said to keep him. He was such a thin and timid dog back then.. it was destiny he rescued him and gave him a twin sister and a loving family ❤
That’s such a heartwarming story. I am happy he got a loving home.
I came home from walking my kids to school and found my Maltese, Gizmo, in the neighbors yard. I yelled at him to come over, picked him up, took him inside…and found the real Gizmo.
I swear to you, these dogs were identical. Gizmo (the real one) was not amused. The fake one could not have cared less. I put the fake one in the backyard and walked to my front yard to try to figure out whose dog I had stolen. Sure enough, a lady came walking down the street, looking for her dog. I felt so disconcerted that I had so easily been convinced it was mine!
Golden's Level of Loyalty 😂. They can go home with just about anyone. They just happy to be there 😂
I've taken home the wrong dog before too, this family had the exact same white lab like mine. Since Labs are so chill, I didn't notice it wasn't my dog.

Happened to us too...my husband mistakenly brought home a look-alike doggy from the daycare but realized something was wrong when that little thing refused to get out of the car, just sat on the back seat staring at him. He immediately took the pup back to the daycare and brought our puppy home😀
Believe it or not, this happened with my sister's dog, a black lab. Her husband mistakenly brought another dog home from their dog's daycare. Labs are another one of those famously friendly breeds, so when the daycare staff accidentally brought out the wrong dog to him - another female black lab about the same size and age - in the pickup area, she happily hopped right into the back seat.The staff member buckled her in so he didn't notice any difference from the front. He didn't realize the error until her got her home and noticed she was behaving strangely in the unfamiliar house and was wearing a different collar.😂
There was a story some years ago of a vet's office that had THREE identical black lab patients. Two in particular they kept mixing up with their owners. The problem was that one of the labs *really* liked one of the other families (maybe as he was from a one person household and the other family had a bunch of kids) and so he'd be super excited to see that family come in.
The family’s own dog was prob thinking, hey, why don’t we switch it up every now and again so I can have a nice vacay and you can play with the humans. lol.

The same thing almost happened to my dog Jasper! He and his brother Frankie go to the same daycare and they are about 95% identical. They brought out my dog to his brother's owner and she was like-- Hello there Jasper! They quickly realized how easy it was to mix them up. We had a good laugh.
So Frankie's owner is a cat?
Twice, with the same dog no less, people have said that my dog was actually theirs. After witnessing the extreme affinity and obedience toward me, they awkwardly realized that the dog was, in fact, mine.
Yikes
Speaks volumes of the chill of a golden retriever.
I almost took the wrong Westie home. The doggie daycare handed this other dog to me and I thought Linus looks smaller than I thought he was plus this Westie was happy to go home. Linus is usually not happy to leave daycare. So I led the dog to the car, put it in the basket, and my husband said “this is the wrong dog!” I took the dog back in to the day care and I told them they gave me the wrong dog. They said “Oliver! This could have been a disaster!” Then they brought Linus out to me who was not as happy as Oliver to go home
Finally a newsworthy story.
Totally! 💯

This happens more often than people realize. Every grooming salon and doggy daycare has at some point sent the wrong dog home with the wrong owner. lol
I like how the other dog looks annoyed than happy.
At my facility we use the TabBand Max colored collars. Helps avoid situations like this when dogs look similar and you can't tell them apart!!! The bands don't snap, don't smudge with water, and come in all the colors. Colored animal tags solve the issue of sending pets off with the wrong owner. 😅
If my dog was in a room full of look-alikes, I'd know instantly which one she was because she'd be the only dog who wouldn't be exited to see me.
Awww they just have to give you the cold-shoulder for a little bc you left them 😂
Your dogs sounds exactly like my first dog.

I'd always recognized my late dog no matter what
My son brought home a white kitten that he thought was one of our litter because it looked just like the other all white kittens; they were Turkish Angora mixes. Believe me, the other kittens backed the newcomer into a corner and surrounded the poor kitten. When I got home, I realized we had one too many. It was a neighbor’s new kitten. Believe me, cats always know who’s theirs!
I used to work in a doggie daycare and this happens from time to time. Sometimes a new staff member will get the names mixed up and bring out the wrong dog when the owner comes to pick them up. Usually at least one of the families notice before they get home. I’ve never heard of it getting this far before 😂

This cracks me up because I KNOW my Schnauzer would NEVER go with someone else and there's no mistaking her cute little attitude problem! She's my love! ♥️

Love the fact that you even have doggie day care, so much better than leaving them at home.
You know those cats were hissing up a storm 😂
Poor dog just wanted some new friends 😭
They’re definitely both very socialized dogs used to different people and various changes in their daily life amazing!
I have eight dogs and among them the only one that I could think of who would be willing to go with a stranger is Oliver, he’s a kind of bloodhound mix we’ve had him for several years he was abandoned by a hunter and we rescued him He loves people and is always very happy even to meet strangers
The dog was lookin like “y’all knew damn well” 🤣
Cats: "ayo this ain't my Emmie"
Awwww golden retrievers are so friendly! It's good to know that it worked out well, & she was returned to her Mommy & Daddy! ❤
I had the same thing happen with a couple stray cats. This feral cat kept scratching our front door and one day I let him in. He came in and out several times for about a week. Then one time he was in the house, we heard scratching at the door and it was another cat that looked just like him! It turns out they were both doing that, but I never saw them together until that moment. 🤣
Ha, they were playing you.
@@horsepanther They really were. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Something similar almost happened to me once with my cat, but I realized almost immediately. lol
It was nighttime and I had just gotten home, and my cat likes to sit in a certain spot in our lawn and greet people when they walk by. I saw him sitting in his spot like normal, but it was dark and I couldn’t see him too well. I thought he had been rolling in dust or dirt though, his fur looked lighter.
I went to go pet him and say hi to him, but when he got scared and took off running, I immediately knew it wasn’t him! It turns out it was actually a grey cat and not a black cat, and as he ran away, my actual cat jumped out of the bushes and started chasing him. I guess that must have been a nice spot in the grass!
hey there I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hear back from you!
