"That moment when you meet your new brother," the text on the screen reads. And in the video, which is only seven seconds long, we can see just how excited both Golden Retrievers are to meet each other.

The older dog, named Chowder, jumped and hopped around with the biggest smile on his face as the puppy, named Gumbo, sat and wagged his tail as hard and fast as he could.

Adding to the magic of the video is the sound used, which is a little kid giggling. The sound came from the Pixar movie Monster Inc. when the little kid giggled at the site of James P. Sullivan.

It's the cutest giggle sound, and it absolutely made the video of Chowder and Gumbo that much cuter.

In the comments, people shared their reaction to the adorable video of the brothers as happy as could be meeting each other.

One wrote, "My heart."

Another shared, "This is too adorable."

Someone else added, "Awe, that laughter sounds exactly how’d I’d imagine that puppy sounding!"

One shared, "This is so cute."

Another joked, "As a grown man, this is how I sound when I come home and see my puppy."

Quick Facts About Golden Retrievers

There's a reason why Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds and it has a lot to do with their temperament and how easy they are to love.

According to Rover.com , Golden Retrievers are a "tried and true family dog" and they're very social which makes them a perfect match for busy households with kids.

"Goldens make a wonderful family pet and are fiercely loyal to their humans," the site explains. "They love companionship and will not do well when left alone for long hours."

They love to run, play, swim, and burn off lots of energy but they also really love to cuddle which is such a sweet mix of traits.

Rover.com notes that Golden Retrievers weigh up to 75 pounds, with the female dog's weight maxing out around 65 pounds. They shed "moderately" and only occasionally need a bath. They're typically healthy dogs and pretty easy to train — and playing fetch is a great tool to use for training, Rover.com shares.
