If you think having a younger sibling is all rainbows and sunshine then you only need to have one to make you think otherwise. The truth is, rivalry exists in every family, not just in humans but in dogs as well. Being the only child, one gets to receive all the love and attention from their parents. And our canine companions, in particular, love to get every bit of love and attention from their owners.
Some pet owners think that bringing a new pup home to keep their pet company would make them happy. But these photos tell the opposite. Apparently, some aren’t actually amused by having a younger brother or sister. Since these doggos are used to being alone, they might find it confusing (and annoying) to have a highly-energetic puppy prancing around them. Not to mention, jealousy kicks in when they realize that they will have to share their human’s affection and attention.
These Photos Show How Dogs Feel About Having A Younger Sibling
Unlike humans, animals don’t lie. What they manifest through behaviors and facial expressions are the real representation of their emotions. Canines smile when they’re happy and they frown when they’re sad. They even have their brows furrowed when they’re agitated and stressed. It’s actually easy for pet owners to understand what their doggos feel and think through these signs. And you only need to look at these facial expressions to know what they’re thinking about having a younger brother or sister.

“Please Take That Thing Back”
People have been sharing photos of their dog’s reaction after they got a new puppy. And for sure, these reactions are not the ones they’re expecting to see from their pets. Well, it would take time before these pooches can accept the new member of the family into their lives. Besides, domestic canines are wired to adapt to their new environment and lifestyle. They may not be happy with having a younger dog around at first. But they’ll eventually get along, just give them time.
