California Woman Notices Her Golden Retriever Picking Up Strange Objects On Walks, And They Keep Getting Bigger
When a California family wasn’t looking for a puppy, Summit won their hearts. Now, his daily walks are filled with finding “treasures” that keep getting bigger and more hilarious.
An Unexpected Love
After their previous dog, Baker, passed away, the family wasn’t actively looking for a new puppy. The heartbreak was still fresh, and they needed time to heal.
But sometimes, the perfect companion finds you when you least expect it.
The very first day his future mom met him, she fell in love with him immediately. It was a connection that felt right from the start.
The First Treasure
It didn’t take long for Summit to show off his unique personality. While sitting out on the front lawn together, he did something that would become his signature move.
He immediately picked up a “treasure” and brought it right over to her.
That simple gesture was the beginning of a hilarious and endearing lifelong habit.
A Curious Collector
Every day when they go for a walk, Summit is on a mission. He spends his time sniffing around the neighborhood, searching for the perfect item.
His mom notes that he is incredibly curious, always looking for something new.
In the beginning, he would carry small things like leaves and tiny sticks. But as he grew, his ambitions grew with him.
The Bigger, The Better
As Summit got bigger, his treasures got bigger, too. He soon graduated from tiny sticks to much larger finds.
Living in an area with palm trees, he discovered a favorite: fallen palm fronds.
“There’s a lot of palm fronds, which fall off the palm trees, and those are his favorite,” his mom explained.
Showing Off His Finds
Summit doesn’t just collect these items for himself; he wants the world to see them. He likes to show everybody his treasure when they walk down the street.
He struts with pride, carrying his oversized prizes.
“You so proud, buddy?” his mom often asks as he proudly parades his latest discovery.
Comically Oversized
Sometimes, Summit’s ambition gets the better of him. He will pick up a treasure that is so big, it’s almost as heavy as he is.
He almost looks like he can carry full trees. The weight and size can even throw him off balance as he tries to maneuver.
His mom laughs, saying, “Honestly, I don’t know what is going inside his head. Oh, my goodness.”
A Drama King On Four Legs
Summit’s treasure hunting isn’t without its challenges. He is notoriously stubborn when it comes to letting go of his finds.
Sometimes, his mom has to step in and help him out because he absolutely refuses to drop it.
She lovingly refers to him as a “little drama king on four legs” when he insists on keeping his oversized prizes.
Spreading Joy To The Neighborhood
Summit’s antics don’t just entertain his mom; they bring joy to everyone who sees him. He turns everyday moments into little adventures.
Whether he’s picking up a treasure, doing a “boing,” or performing a silly dance, he is a constant source of entertainment.
People driving by will even roll down their windows to yell out how cute he is. Summit surprises his mom every day, and as she says, she “wouldn’t have it any other way.”
