Hermosa Beach, California - During a walk, Zebby the golden retriever from Hermosa Beach stopped in front of his owner's house and refused to take another step. What on earth got into the dog?

An Instagram video shows Zebby's owner's boyfriend Anson repeatedly tugging on the dog's leash, urging him to move forward.

But there’s nothing Anson can do – Zebby resists with all his might, refusing to walk.

After a while, Zebby turns toward the house. Suddenly his owner, Sophie Fogelson, comes out.
