Upon witnessing the initial reaction of her dog to the arrival of a new puppy, a woman from Destin, Florida, became concerned that her two pets would never be able to get along with one another.
On the other hand, that was only until she managed to capture something extraordinary on camera.
The video was uploaded to the social media account for the dogs, which is found at @tankandolaf. In it, the young puppy, Tank, can be seen lying on his stomach on the ground and requesting that his older brother, Olaf, poke his belly.
Surprisingly, Olaf shows his brother his affection by patting him on the tummy with his paw for the very first time after the advent of his sibling.
“We were starting to worry these two would never be friends. And then this happened,” she writes in the TikTok video that went viral on Tuesday and was uploaded by a user. The caption has the phrase “Can’t believe I caught this on camera” written in it.
The person who posted the advertisement, Claire Samford, stated that she had adopted the tiny dachshund approximately four weeks ago because she believed that her Great Pyrenees mix, who was five years old, was bored and required a companion pet.
On the other hand, ever since little Tank, who weighs only approximately 3.5 pounds, arrived at home, his brother, who weighs 100 pounds, has been nothing but terrified of him.
“[He] would just ignore Tank’s attempts to play. Until yesterday, when Tank flipped over on his belly and I witnessed them play for the first time. It was such a special moment watching them bond, and I hope their friendship will only continue to grow!” she stated.
Olaf’s connection with his younger sibling was described by a few readers in the comments section as giving him the “pyr paw,” but would you please explain what exactly this is?
According to the Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue, the pyr paw is a classic character attribute of this breed. It is a behavior that they typically exhibit when they are requesting attention, and it is frequently regarded as a charming and humorous way to interact with you.
As long as you introduce them in the appropriate manner, introducing a new puppy into your house with your existing dog can be a very exciting experience for both of them, even though it may take some time for them to build a trusting relationship with one another.
You should give them the opportunity to sniff each other while they are taking short pauses from the walk. After that, bring them home together, but be sure to leave house lines on both of them so that you can simply separate them at any time.
Almost immediately, the video became extremely popular on social media platforms, and it has been viewed more than 4.7 million times and has garnered 686,800 likes on the platform.
