Arlington (USA) - It's a bit of a funny quirk: since Emma has been living with her owners Kevin and Katie Bubolz in Arlington, Virginia, she has regularly spent time in their coffee table. But while the female golden retriever fitted in there easily as a puppy, she now has to squeeze herself in. Her owners explained the reason for this in a video last week.

The curious clip shows various stages in the life of the furry friend and her older companion Ellie.

Whether as a puppy or an adult dog , Emma can't get away from the piece of furniture and sometimes even jumps into it, even if it comes to a rough end.

According to her owners, it is Emma's ultimate favorite place. For a long time, they thought that the furry friend would grow out of it, but that is still not the case.

Then the light finally dawned on them when they thought back to her first days at home.

It was the first place where Emma took her first nap. According to her owners, she also played with Ellie for the first time in the living room around the coffee table.

In the clip, there are flashbacks showing Emma in her puppy days. In it, she can be seen all the time playing around the coffee table with her fur friend - or resting in it.

The cute video has been a hit with the TikTok audience. In the first week since its release, the clip has already had 1.4 million clicks. It also has more than 125,000 likes.

But this success is no coincidence. The two golden retrievers have a huge fan base: 7.2 million users follow them on TikTok alone , where their videos can be found under the name "elliegoldenlife".
