Ellie the Golden Retriever Wows the World With her Exceptional Self-Control

Self-control is not a skill that everyone confidently possesses.

Some of us can't even have sweets in the house, because we know they won't last more than 2 days. Definitely not talking from experience here…

Anyway, it's never too late to practice some good old healthy self-control. Maybe we just need the right role model to look up to. Luckily, we may have found the perfect one.

Meet Ellie

Ellie the golden retriever, or @elliegoldenlife, is many things. She is adorable, super smart, super fluffy, and, well, has some super self-control. Anyone who has come in contact with a golden retriever knows that if there's one thing they love, other than cuddles and water, is some good food. They're also just extremely hard to say no to, so this combo can make them really difficult to train sometimes.

Ellie, however, seems to be quite the special girl. Her human Kevin has an entire TikTok page revolved around her squishy face and impeccable skills. Is there anything else anyone could possibly need on a platform?

One video of Ellie showing off her unmatched self-control around raw meat literally exploded on the app. It has over 29 MILLION views. Yep, TikTokers definitely approve.

I mean, does it get more impressive than that. She is so expressive and perceptive, but then also super patient. How does she do it? People are truly amazed by this pup.

Kevin saw the amazing feedback and decided to share a similar video but this time with fruit! Yep, some dogs love fresh fruit as well, and it's always adorable.

The way she licks each little piece and doesn't go in for the rest is so impressive. This update was only posted this week, but we could definitely forsee it blowing up as well.

While documenting his road trip Kevin also likes to do taste tests with Ellie.
