<\/p>\nA golden retriever has gone viral for the hilarious groaning noise she makes when she wants to be stroked.<\/p>\n
Rachel Kamens, who lives in New Jersey, was left scratching her head when she heard the sound emanating from her pooch, Biscuit.<\/p>\n
Wondering if it could be something of her concern, the first-time goldie owner posted a clip on Facebook and asked for advice.<\/p>\n
The heartwarming clip shows the almost three-year-old canine sitting upright in front of Rachel and making a low rumbling noise.<\/p>\n
The intensity grows when Rachel pets her and scratches her chest.<\/p>\n
She wrote in the caption: "My dog makes this groaning sound when she wants to be petted or is being petted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Does [anyone know] why one else's golden do this? It's almost like a snore.<\/p>\n
"This is my first golden. I had no idea or [if it] was common, I thought I somehow caused a bad behaviour."<\/p>\n
Her clip has garnered hundreds of comments and, surprisingly, many dog owners said they their furry friends have a similar trait.<\/p>\n
One said: "My goldie does this all the time for when she is being fussed over or if she wants food. She will sit there and stare at me with that noise. I love it."<\/p>\n

"Ours does that too!" a second commented. "Took her to the vet and they said it\u2019s normal! It\u2019s their way of communicating with us! We got special goldens."<\/p>\n
Others said the sound was startlingly similar to a farmyard animal.<\/p>\n
"My one golden does this all the time," a third said. "It\u2019s her piggie snorts. I love it."<\/p>\n
While someone else agreed, adding: "We call it piggie sounds. All my goldens did\/do this. It's a golden thing."<\/p>\n

Some said they call the sound a "golden purr" \u2013 a dog version of cat purr when they are in need of human attention.<\/p>\n
Rachel told Daily Star: "I've had other dogs but there are not pure bred until Biscuit. None of them have done this and I've never seen a dog doing this.<\/p>\n
"But a lot of the golden retriever owners report this same behaviour.<\/p>\n
"It will last as long as we are petting her. Usually we would have to tell her to go lay down, or 'that's enough'."<\/p>\n
