As many dog lovers know, our faithful canine friends can be very alert about our needs and compassionate when we stumble into trouble. Japanese Twitter user @elmo_golret recently got a good example of that, just not quite in the way he expected, when walking his golden retriever Elmo--much to the delight of many on the internet.
While on a walk with Elmo, @elmo_golret took a sudden spill and fell down. Many a touching television segment or viral clip might have you believe that Elmo rushed immediately to his aid or called for help, but Elmo did something else that @elmo_golret couldn’t help but share with a laugh and a caption:
”A dog who beats the hell out of her owner who fell on the stairs (this is called “overkill”).”

Elmo did indeed rush to her owner’s side, but did so by tackling him and throwing a fit as if to scold him for being clumsy and having fallen down in the first place. Many in the comments were amused by the almost comic book-esque panel shot, comparing the moment to the stylings of Japanese comedic duos.
Fortunately @elmo_golret wasn’t hurt at all, and perhaps Elmo was worried in her own way. @elmo_golret now knows that the next time they slip, the real injury may come from their own dog, however.
