Fall's officially here so it's time to get out the cozy sweater, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and take a trip to the pumpkin patch for a little family fun. This what Duke, the Golden Retriever, would call a perfect day. Luckily, his pet parents decided to take him along for the sweetest photo shoot of the year.

Duke shines as the real spooky season attraction in this brief TikTok video and his smile shows how much he enjoyed it. Take a look!

The Golden's big day is brimming with autumn vibes. Checking out the different pumpkins, posing with Dad, and taking alllll the sights and sounds in is Duke's idea of a good time.

Fall Activities to Do With Your Dog

Cool weather doesn't have to mean staying in. The Animal Humane Society suggests a few pet-friendly activities the whole family can enjoy—including your pup. If a Duke-inspired pumpkin patch isn't in the cards, try taking a family hike on a dog-friendly trail where you can all enjoy fall foliage in the crisp, autumn air. You'll all feel refreshed afterward!

It's a good time of year to take family photos, especially with the gorgeous scenery. Pick a spot where the background becomes the focal point, or dress in costumes for a fun card to send out to friends and family. There are plenty of dog-friendly costumes so they can get in on the fun, too. You can even do a fun photo shoot of just your pup because let's face it—you want to capture every cute thing they do.

If it's too chilly outside, make it a baking day inside and whip up a batch of pumpkin pie treats that both your dog and you can enjoy. Here's an easy recipe that comes together in no time and the batter can be used in a variety of ways.

If all else fails, rake up a pile of leaves and spend a little while playing together. Soak up the moments and enjoy just having fun.
