This Golden Retriever Who Loves to Slide Down Hills Will Bring You Joy
Leny the Retriever is sliding right into our hearts.

There are a lot of funny dogs out there. There were those two adorable dogtectives who went viral for their "conversation" about the proper pupcedure when your human's in trouble. There was that hyperactive hound who couldn't stop photobombing his pawrents' engagement photos. And we'll always love the pup who proved that dogs all have the same manic reaction to hearing you open up a bag of potato chips. But there's something special about Leny, the Golden Retriever from Spokane, Washington, who is going viral for how much he loves rolling down hills.
