Golden Retriever Puppy's Funny Attempt to Avoid Eye Contact with the Cat Is Priceless
Golden Retriever Puppy's Funny Attempt to Avoid Eye Contact with the Cat Is Priceless originally appeared on Parade Pets. Any psychologist will tell you that in early childhood, older siblings often exhibit dominant behaviors over their younger sibs. That certainly appears to be the case with pets too, particularly with Teddy the Golden Retriever puppy and his older sister, a silver cat who is keeping him in line! 'When you can't make eye contact with your sister because she will punch you in the face,' Teddy's pet parent writes in an adorable TikTok clip that truly illustrates the ups and downs of sibling relationships. Take a look and have a laugh at the pup's epic side-eye. Experts note that this dynamic is often a natural part of the sibling relationship, and hopefully for Teddy, there will be a shift towards a more equitable power dynamic as he and his sister mature. But for the time being, Teddy seems to be falling into line, not considering for one moment the idea of looking his sister in the eye!🐶🐾🐾 Poor sweet Teddy! His sister is all business. Though we can't see this kitty's face, based on the fear in Teddy's eyes, we wouldn't mess with her either. 'The cat's little chubby neck roll nearly took me out,' wrote a viewer. 'Her ears say it all.' In fact, that cat is reminding me of a marine drill instructor! Don't do anything to ruffle her feathers, or in this case, her sleek silver fur, Teddy!'This older sister-younger brother dynamic spans across all species, I'm afraid,' noted a fan on TikTok. 'I one-hundred percent believe she was about to throw paws,' said another. Of course, Teddy has good reason to believe he might get smacked based on the strong right hook his sister has shown in the pair's previous escapades. Take a look at this montage of their past minor squabbles and skirmishes. Though Teddy has every right to be wary, it really looks more like his sister cat is giving him gentle high-fives or simply playing. Still, stay on your toes, little guy! Cat behavior can be, umm, erratic. In the end, there's really nothing to be concerned about, Teddy. A few months from now you'll likely dwarf your sister and this fearful feelings will all be a distance memory. We think they'll be fast friends in no time!

How Golden Retriever 'Trained' Owner To Never Stop Petting Him Goes Viral
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. A dog has trained his owner to never stop petting him, with an adorable video going viral online. Amber McClain, 45, lives in Michigan with her husband Ben, two children, and 4 four-year-old golden retriever, Murph. "We always joke that he's a 'momma's boy' and a 'Velcro dog'," McClain told Newsweek, referencing the term used for when a pet is stuck to you. "He follows me everywhere. He has since he was a little puppy!" Explaining they got Murph during the pandemic, which "might contribute to his 'Velcroness'," McClain said the golden "detests any technology that might steer someone's attention away from petting him. "Often, if I'm looking at my phone, he'll come up and nose it right out of my hand. I work from home, so, a lot of times, if I'm on my laptop on my couch, he'll come up and sit on my lap in between me and the screen." A video showcasing Murph's contempt for anything that stops him from getting all the attention has now gone viral, after McClain shared a clip to her TikTok account @murphsmom2021 on May 31. From left: Murph smiles as his owner pets him, and instantly turns on the manipulation when she stops.

TikTok @murphsmom2021 Viewed more than 688,000 times, the footage shows McClain reaching out a hand and scratching Murph, who is beside her on the sofa. He has a smile on his face, and is looking at McClain with love in his eyes. But the second she moves her hand away, Murph's face drops—he stares at her dolefully, and then makes a sound that can only be described as an annoyed groan. McClain goes back to scratching, and the smile is back on Murph's face—for just moment, until she moves her hand again and the unimpressed expression, followed by a groan, is back. The battle continues, with McClain continually scratching and stopping, and Murph smiling and frowning multiple times—and TikTok users were in stitches, with one commenter writing: "He's trained you wonderfully." Another posted: "The 3rd time, he didn't smile. He was expecting to be disappointed!" "The change in his facial expression is so dramatic," one comment read, as another added: "The flip between smile and disappointment is hilarious." From left: Murph's expression changes instantly when Amber McClain stops giving him attention. From left: Murph's expression changes instantly when Amber McClain stops giving him attention. TikTok @murphsmom2021 McClain told Newsweek: "He does do this quite often but not every time." The owner added: "It's been fun to watch the video of Murph blow up. "He has such a funny personality. It's fun to share it with others!" Golden retrievers are popular as family pets thanks to their friendly and devoted nature, and getting along well with family, young children and other dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2024, the breed was third in the AKC's list of the most-popular dog breeds in the U.S. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
