Goldendoodle Has 'Arch Enemy' Cousin Over To Stay, Hysterics Over Response

A goldendoodle from Florida has become an internet sensation after a video of him reaction to an unexpected guest staying over for the night went viral on TikTok.
The hilarious clip, shared in June under the username @loganmakenzee, shows the dog sitting stiffly upright in his doggy armchair, eyes locked on the front door where his cousin is standing up staring at him.
"When your arch enemy of a cousin comes to stay the night" reads layover text on the clip. The caption says: "It's giving bratty sister vibes."
If you suspect that your dog dislikes a particular canine, you might be right. Experts at VetStreet say that, just like we sometimes can't stand other people, dogs can also feel the same way about other pups.
But how do dogs decide who they like and who they don't? It is mostly in the smell. With a nose that can smell up to 100,000 times better than humans', canines can pick up all sorts of olfactory clues that signal something they either like or dislike.
And the other dog doesn't even need to be close for your pup to make this decision, because they can do it from a long distance, too.
Another reason your dog may not like another specific canine is because of past experiences, with either the pup in question or a very similar pup. In fact, dogs that smell, look, or move in a similar way can all be a trigger.
And, last but not least, your pup may just be hyper-protective of you. Maybe your dog doesn't just hate all other pups; it just doesn't want you to be near any of them.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 2.6 million views and more than 281,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Apg8113, commented: "I can't explain it but they both look so human it's weird."
Ty posted: "She refuses to leave her throne until her court date. She's suing her parents for upholstering the chair with her fur."
Caroline added: "The little one looks like the annoying little villain cousin if this were a cartoon."

Couple Get Engaged, They Can't Believe What Their Golden Retriever Captures
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Many couples hire a photographer to capture the special moment when they get engaged, but that wasn't necessary for two childhood sweethearts who got their golden retriever to film the entire proposal instead. As you can imagine, the footage is a mixture of joy, excitement, and the zoomies. On July 4, paramedic Emily Ward and her now fiancé Jacob Oxlade, both 27, headed over to Horseshoe Bay on their boat. They went for a gorgeous sunset walk with their golden retriever, Murphy, who had a GoPro camera attached to him so they could capture as much footage as possible. Ward, of Brisbane, Australia, told Newsweek that she "didn't question it too much" as her partner said he needed camera footage to share with their photographer friend. But as the evening unfolded, there turned out to be a very different reason for the camera—as Oxlade got down on one knee.

"It was quiet, thoughtful, and perfect—I couldn't have dreamed it better. Jacob was so thoughtful—I had only ever said I didn't want it to be in a busy place. I just wanted it to be the two of us, and Murphy of course." With the camera on his back, 4-year-old Murphy had a very integral role to play as the engagement photographer. The adorable footage shows just how happy Murphy was for his owners, who have been together since they were 14 years old. He sat in the middle of them during the proposal, and then when Ward started to jump around excitedly, he instantly got the zoomies. Would you expect anything less? Ward was left speechless when she watched the footage back, and it's become something she will "treasure forever." She continued: "I couldn't have imagined anything more special, and I feel incredibly lucky to have a partner who knows me so well. That video is a keepsake I'll always hold close. I never would've pictured something like that for myself, but now I can't imagine it any other way." Indeed, her favorite part of the video (aside from the proposal itself, obviously) is when Murphy turns around and realizes there's a camera attached to him, and then immediately starts zooming around once again. He ran straight past his owners and ran towards the boat instead. No matter how many times she watches it, that particular moment leaves Ward in hysterics every time. Ward shared the footage on TikTok (@ and it's delighted social media users, leading to more than 644,100 views and 116,900 likes at the time of writing. TikTok users have hailed Murphy's cinematic masterpiece, and many even suggested that he should film the wedding too. He will certainly have a role to play on the big day, as Ward told Newsweek that he will get to enjoy "his special moment" walking down the aisle. Murphy the golden retriever filming the proposal.

We've been together since we were 14, and for a long time, neither of us really wanted a wedding or marriage. We both come from families where marriage didn't always work out, and that shaped our thinking early on. But as we've grown up together, we've realized we're not our parents. We're us, and I wouldn't change anything about our story," Ward said. In just a matter of days, the TikTok video has generated over 900 comments as social media users praised Murphy's Oscar-worthy directorial debut. One comment reads: "This is a cinematic experience. Camera work 100/10. Good boy 1,000/10." Another TikTok user wrote: "Surely he's filming the wedding." Another person replied: "I think this is my favorite proposal video ever." While one commenter joked: "He's watched their whole love zoomie was his standing ovation." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
