Lemon the Golden apparently has no intention of giving up her title as the family baby, even after a real baby enters the picture. The Golden Retriever recently stole the spotlight in a sweet video after her family introduced a finger-puppet book meant for the baby. Instead of sitting back and letting the little one enjoy storytime, Lemon immediately decided the tiny puppet deserved her full attention.

The video opens with Lemon sitting close to her family as someone holds up the small children’s book. A green finger puppet sticks out from the book, and the curious Golden Retriever quickly notices it.
She sniffs around the pages and moves closer, looking as though she wants to investigate exactly what her family has brought home. The text on the video sets up the joke: “POV: your parents bought a finger puppet book for the baby, but you still think you’re the baby.”
And Lemon certainly acts like she believes the book belongs to her. Lemon keeps her attention fixed on the finger puppet. She reaches toward it, appearing ready to turn the reading session into playtime. Lemon’s Instagram profile, @lemon_poppymarie, introduces her as “Lemon The Golden” and identifies her breed as a Golden Retriever.
Her bio also gives followers a glimpse into her personality, describing her as a “Sock thief” and “Pup Cup lover.” The profile also mentions that Lemon has a younger cat sister who is “small, orange, and a little spicy.”
The comments quickly filled with people who completely understood Lemon’s reaction. One user joked, “DIS MY FAVORITE STORY.” Another wrote, “This is so hilarious.” One viewer praised the books while adding, “Those are the cutest little books! Perfect for the big babies.”
Another called the whole scene “absolutely adorable.” The most fitting reaction came from a viewer who challenged the video’s premise altogether: “What do you mean ‘thinks’?? She is your forever baby!” Another viewer agreed with Lemon’s apparent claim to the book, writing, “She IS the target audience!”
