“We don’t need unity in theory, we need solidarity in practice.” -Curious George Brigade
Ollie is a 7-year-old chocolate labrador retriever living in the UK. He has been enjoying his internet fame since 2021 and has been described as 10/10, a certified good boy.
Last month, Ollie posted about how he had surgery to remove a lump found on his eyelid and has been advised by his vets that he had to wear a cone for a few days while his stitches healed. Here he is on his ‘shady’ Instagram post with an update on his health last month.
And another update came just a couple of weeks later, Ollie’s owner posted a super cute reel of her dad and Ollie sitting on the couch. This time though, it isn’t just Ollie who’s got the cone of shame around her head. Her dad had apparently wanted Ollie to “feel less lonely” during his recovery period so he decided to wear a cone. In the video below, you’ll see Ollie being petted by the owner’s dad while holding a mug and watching tv.
“It’s always the Dads who didn’t want a dog 🤣🤣,” Alex Morgan, Ollie’s owner, captioned the Instagram reel. And the same video has been posted on their TikTok page as well and has accumulated 3.6 million views since being posted.
With almost 3 million followers on TikTok and 218k followers on Instagram, Ollie has been sharing his numerous tricks and adventures on both accounts and have been diligently posting a few times a week, sometimes featuring some of his friends and his family.
Here’s a TikTok of Ollie and his cone buddy one week after the couch video.
@good.boy.ollie My dog is actually my dad’s best friend 🥲 #dogdad #labrador #dogsoftiktok
Since Ollie’s all better now, we hope to see more updates from this duo. For now, I’ll scroll through some old videos of the ‘Booty Balance King’, Ollie. Read more about his balancing skills here.
