Some dogs love doggy daycare so much they don’t want to leave, and Jax, the Golden Retriever, is one of them. So when his mom, Meg, comes to pick him up, he makes it very clear in the cutest way possible that he’s not ready to go, and has us all in stitches.
Watch as Meg pulls on the leash and calmly asks him to get in the car. When he doesn’t, she takes matters into her own hands… literally. She has to drag him to the car, then give him a boost to get in. We’re not sure what goes on at daycare, but it must be a lot more fun than what happens at home!
Meg admits in the caption, “I get embarrassed that they watch me do this from their window every time…” Sorry, Meg! The neighbors are probably watching too because it’s so funny to watch such a stubborn dog!

Viewers Understand Why He Never Wants the Fun To End
Viewers got a kick out of watching Jax refuse to help Meg get him into the car. @Haleyrae61 shared a screenshot of Jax’s face as Meg pulled on his leash and said what he was probably thinking: “You can’t make me, b*tch!”
@kandihndrx made a good point: “At least you know they are not abusing him at daycare, lol!” Another commenter added, “At this point, he thinks you’re the daycare, lol!”
Commenter @Lisa got nearly 40k likes for saying, “I need a video of how he goes into daycare!” So do we; we hope she’ll post one soon because we have a feeling it’s a much different scene!
