“I use every bone in my body not to be googly-eyed over her and not kiss her and jump her bones all the time.”
Ellie and Emma, two golden retrievers turned social media stars, have stolen the hearts of millions of people all over the world.
Ellie and Emma are trained service dogs who travel all around the world with their owners, Kevin and Katie Bubolz. Kevin is a retired military helicopter pilot.
While overseas, Kevin met “the dog who inspired me to get Ellie, train her as a therapy dog, and start our Mission to Spread Smiles together.”
Emma joined the family in 2022. And last year, Kevin and Katie welcomed their first child into the world, Connor.
The golden duo are known for their multitude of tricks and sunny disposition. On Thursday, July 24, Ellie went viral again when Kevin shared a video of her reaction to the popular 2002 song “Get Low” by Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz.
One of the many commands Ellie obeys is backing up. Some of the lyrics in “Get Low” include “Back, back, back it up.”
While listening to the song, Ellie obeyed the command and started to back up when the song demanded it. “How do I tell my dog it’s just a song,” they captioned the video.
The sweet video shows Ellie looking at Kevin for approval as Kevin seemed shocked and elated by Ellie’s response to the lyrics.
Eventually they admitted that “we had to ban this song” to no longer confuse Ellie. Fans in the comment section adored the video.
“Oh her little face. She looks so confused at the end,” one commenter wrote.
“Omg, if you get her to wiggle with it, I'm done,” another joked.
“The way she looks at you like, ‘How far back do I need to go dad?!?’” another commenter pointed out.
“Oohhh so sweet Ellie is!! She takes it seriously,” said a fan.
