Golden Retriever apologizes to his brother for stealing a treat by giving him a HUGE hug

An adorable Golden Retriever apologized to his brother for stealing his treat by giving him a massive hug on Wednesday.

The sweet moment was shared this week on an Instagram page dedicated to two  darling Golden Retrievers, five-year-old Watson and nine-year-old Kiko.

In a video captioned ‘A dog’s way of saying sorry,’ Watson got into a bit of trouble after stealing Kiko’s dog treat, or ‘chewy.’

‘Hey, Watson,’ their owner says,’do you understand when I’m talking to you?’

Watson, who is seen sitting inside the family’s home, stares wide-eyed at the cell phone camera and gives a tail wag of acknowledgment.

‘You do? So, I gave you a chewy, I gave Kiko a chewy, you ate Kiko’s chewy,’ their owner explains.

The camera pans between a Watson and Kiko, who is staring expectantly at his owner.

‘What do we say when we steal someone else’s chewy? Do you know?,’ the owner asks.  

After stealing a glance at his brother, Watson slowly walks over to Kiko, briefly nuzzles their noses together and suddenly leans back on his hind legs.
