This Golden Retriever Listening to Classic Music Is Anything but Calm

When the zoomies hit, it's hard to keep them contained. No matter what one can try or do, it seems like once a dog's zoomies or destructive mood hits, there's no going back. For me, watching my sibling's Boston terrier get the zoomies is one of the most hilarious things ever. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to get into a destructive mode, but rather starts galloping around like a wild horse. If one has ever seen a Boston get zoomies, it's well worth a watch.

However, as fun as it is for some, not all dogs get the same type of zoomies. Take Gamja the golden retriever, for example, who recently had a wild case of wanting to destroy. Thankfully for Gamja's human, her destruction only came at the cost of one plush toy and not any furniture. Despite their humans' best efforts, there's nothing that can hold Gamja back when she gets going.

Not Even Classical Music Can Keep This Golden Calm

Classical music might be known to help calm down humans, but it turns out it just activated this golden retriever's wild side. Instead of calming down and coming to a stop, Gamja decided the classical music deserved a bit of a dance-an honest mix-up.

With a teddy bear in his mouth and fluff all over the living room, Gamja started up her dance with a few spins and twirls. Set on taking out all of the fluff from the teddy bear, Gamja showed absolutely no signs of slowing down. As evidenced by all the fluff already on the floor, it looks like the classical music was a last-ditch effort to calm Gamja down. Sadly, it looks like that didn't happen.

In the comments, users were having a blast with this ferocious pup and her seemingly intense mission to create as much chaos as possible. "Gamja is a ballerina and just twirling to whatever music comes along," commented one viewer. Another fan offered another explanation for the chaos: "This is what they call 'interpretive dancing.'"

While we aren't sure this is exactly what her humans expected, we do appreciate the artistic flair Gamja added to the music. Maybe next time her humans should try meditative music to help ease the chaos? Or maybe just embrace it with some rock music.
