Kirk Herbstreit’s golden retriever, Peter, isn’t so sure about making a new friend.
In a now-viral video shared by the college football analyst ahead of Saturday’s College GameDay broadcast from BYU’s campus in Provo, Utah, Peter has a hilarious reaction to meeting BYU’s mascot, Cosmo the Cougar, who makes several attempts to win over the hesitant pup. Unfortunately for Cosmo, not even a few tempting gifts are enough to convince Peter that the oversized feline is someone he wants to hang out with.
View this post on InstagramAs Peter is brought into the room, he initially doesn’t seem to notice Cosmo.
“He didn’t see him yet, this is good,” Herbstreit says, as Peter walks right past the mascot in an attempt to ignore the situation at hand.
Once the golden retriever spots the towering cougar mascot, he appears far less interested in the introduction.
“Say hi, Peter,” someone encourages the dog in the video, as Cosmo tries to get his attention. Peter, however, seems content to keep his distance.
“He’s actually a kitty cat,” Herstreit says, as Cosmo attempts to make a better first impression by offering Peter a new toy and a collar, hoping the goodies might help break the ice. But the golden retriever remains unconvinced, eventually retreating behind his dad rather than getting any closer to his would-be friend.
The attempts to win Peter over continue, with someone suggesting that he might really like what Cosmo has to offer. Even the promise of a nice steak is floated as a possible incentive.
Still, Peter isn’t taking any chances. Cosmo then offers a plush bed, seemingly hoping that a comfortable place to relax might change his mind. But Peter remains firmly uninterested, back up further away, seemingly terrified of the creature, let alone closing his eyes for any amount of time with the mascot nearby.
In one final effort, Cosmo offers the hesitant dog a treat, which he also refuses, even with the encouragement of Herbstreit.
“He’s like, ‘I don’t trust it,'” Herstreit jokes.
The video, which has racked up more than 26,000 likes and 650,000 views, quickly hit a chord with fans of Herbstreit’s beloved four-legged friend.
“Peter is not having it. He’s never seen a fur baby stand that tall,” one user wrote.
Another added, “Peter really said ‘that’s a CAT bro. I’m NOT meeting a CAT.'”
