It’s a natural reaction for puppies to be jealous when there’s a new dog at home, but will they feel the same way when you bring a baby home? There are so many animal behavioral studies which shows that dogs do get jealous. They can feel love and loyalty, but they are also sensitive when it comes to rejection. Some dogs feel that when their human parents bring a new dog home, they feel like they’ve been replaced. But somehow, this has been a question among new parents who already have a dog before they even had children.
No parent would want to give up their dog because they had a baby. So what they do is try to get their dogs and their baby get along with each other to live a happy and harmonious life together. However, a mom discovered that her pup is not appreciating the attention that the new baby wants. Sibling rivalry is definitely brewing, but in a good way. But it is not new for dogs to be jealous of their new siblings. Let’s go ahead and find out how this mom discovered this cute rivalry between her baby and her pup.
We all know that babies would cry to get their mom’s attention. So when this pup realized that this is how he can get his human mom to notice him too, you wouldn’t believe what he did next! This funny yet interesting exchange was caught on video when both baby and pup are in the same bed. The pup already knew that mom is filming. The baby starts crying, clearly asking for something but the pup noticed this and he started howling while looking at his mom, wanting to know how she would react. Whether she would agree or not.
When the mom didn’t disagree and call him out on his loud howling, the pup continues to do this when the baby started crying again, wanting mom to know that yep! He was able to make the baby stop and mom seems to like it! The baby did it again and again and the pup howled still looking at the camera, and the baby ceased from crying. And before the baby could start crying once more, he beat her this time with his loud and long howl and the baby seemed to this exchange.
The pup may have noticed his effect on the crying baby which is why he kept on doing it while looking at their mom for approval, or maybe he just wants the peace and quiet that he was used to around the house. What was sure in this video is that this pup would not let his new sibling control the situation. He is surely the boss in this house and he knows how to impress his mom too!
