When planning your big day, the most important thing to remember is to always—and I do mean always—include your dog. If not for you, then for all of us searching the web for some kind of uplifting news. They may not understand what the hype is all about, but being included with their favorite people, no matter what’s going on, is enough for them.

Wally the Golden Retriever served as the witness in his parents’ recent nuptials, and based on his reaction alone, it’s the sweetest, most heartwarming piece of content we all need right now.

For a happy boy who loves being the center of Mom and Dad’s world, this is a huge moment—for Wally! The recent video shows how the pup witnessed the heck out of their “I dos,” and quite possibly stole the show!

As the post says, he was so proud of himself, and that’s pretty evident. Not a thought in his head about what he’s even doing, but just being between his two favorite humans with everyone happy and celebrating sounds like every precious Golden Retriever’s dream!

Obviously, a huge congrats to the couple is in order, but first, more Wally! The very good boy who’s known to his nearly half a million loyal followers as a “big Golden w/big emotions” did a stellar job as a witness, but he’s also good at expressing how fully he loves and desires to be loved.

There are plenty of posts showing this sweet soul who feels so deeply. One look in those expressive eyes, and you can tell he’s special.

@wally.meets.worldA very special soul 💛 #goldenretriever #dogs
