Watch This Golden Retriever Get Lifted Over “Invisible Fence”

A golden retriever named Finn has captured the affection of internet users with his unique habit—refusing to step past the edge of his driveway without a lift.

Alicia Henderson, Finn’s human, posted a video on TikTok showing the 90-pound dog being gently carried by her son whenever he needs to go beyond the “invisible fence” at the end of their driveway. Trained from a young age to stay within the boundary, Finn won’t budge unless someone carries him.
