Golden Retriever Shares Everything That Scared Him This Week, and the List Is Pretty Funny
No one can deny that golden retrievers are loyal and family-friendly creatures. However, these adorable furry pets also have the reputation of being sensitive darlings. Whether it's throwing tantrums or getting upset because their humans are leaving, we've seen plenty of evidence that proves that golden retrievers are just toddlers in a dog body.
Unfortunately for the golden breed, Cash the golden retriever, who has his own YouTube channel Cash the Golden, isn't doing much about bettering that reputation. A little on the fearful side, Cash is a sensitive fellow who scares very easily. In his recent weekly roundup, the golden lists all of the different things that frightened him in the week, and, well, it's a pretty lengthy and funny list.

The Random Things That Frightened Cash Are Hilarious

As most golden retriever parents know, this dog breed is anything but dull. As Cash's humans show, this golden is full of chaos around every corner.
Just in one week, Cash had to deal with various scary events that have left him a bit rattled. A frightening encounter with a leaf when he was sticking his head out of the car window means he no longer fully sticks his head out of the car window in case the leaf returns.
Watching the blow dryer hose move around means he automatically goes into attack mode, where he tries to fend off the strange device.
Even a group of roofers working in his neighborhood means he immediately has to turn the other way because why are there humans so high up in the air?
On the same note, Cash isn't a fan of a robot lawn mower or yard signs.

All of these things (and probably more) are just some of the things that frightened Cash in one week, and there's little chance he will forget about them anytime soon.
As hilarious as it may seem, Cash isn't the only golden retriever on the internet with these peculiar frights.
"Yesterday my dog got scared of my fishing rod," one person wrote in the comment section.
Another pet parent added, "My German shepherd was the same, at the same time she charged at mooses on sight…"
"My mom's golden is the same way but worse," one person said.
Although there's no telling what might frighten Cash next, at least we can rest assured that it will be equally as entertaining as this list.
