Melbourne, Australia - Golden retriever Mustard knows exactly which card to play in order to get his way. But unlike most dogs, his goal wasn't about food!

The furry friend has something completely different in mind, as a TikTok video from last month reveals.

In the now viral hit, Mustard lays his head on the sofa and begs his owner with his puppy-dog eyes.

He then changes sides and half climbs onto the couch, where he again gives his owner a pleading look.

Finally, the woman takes heart and opens a small gate to let him out.

Mustard immediately runs joyfully into the area where baby Mackenzie is lying. The little human immediately gets a few "kisses" from the golden retriever, who is now overjoyed!

Naturally, TikTokers couldn't get enough of the moment, and the clip now boasts over 1.5 million views.

But why does the big dog even let that tiny fence stop him from seeing the baby in the first place?

In a comment, the mother, who also has a golden retriever named Honey alongside Mustard, revealed: "They're really scared of the fence. It's really funny."

The dogs see to it that they give the fence a wide berth, so long as their owner doesn't open it for them first.

Nevertheless, another thing worries the Australian a little: "I can't believe he's climbing onto the sofa. He's so heavy that I can't even stop him."

But of course, Mustard is so well-mannered that he won't go a step further, as his owner has taught the two goldens from the start that they have to respect the boundaries with the baby.

"They're the best dogs," she said of the two pups.
