A dog named Rex used to be the only dog in the family. We can easily say that Rex is a spoiled dog. His humans adopted him when he was a tiny puppy, and he always had their attention.
How Rex Became Jealous?
Rex’s mom, Michelle, stated that they’ve always wanted to adopt another dog so Rex would have someone to play with when he’s left alone in the house but decided to wait until Rex got older. When the time came when Michelle and her partner decided to adopt another dog, they adopted a Dalmatian named Eiger.
Hoping that Rex would welcome his new puppy brother into the family, they realized that the plan didn’t work as they expected. As soon as they brought Eiger home and introduced him to Rex, Rex instantly became adorably jealous.
Rex wasn’t even discreet about his jealous behaviour. He didn’t share his toys with Eiger and always tried to take his parents’ attention away from Eiger. However, despite Rex’s obvious disapproval of Eiger, Eiger tries hard to win his big brother’s affection.
Eiger would initiate play and try to get Rex’s attention. It took a while for Rex to warm up to Eiger. After two months of Rex’s jealous behaviour, Eiger can finally win his trust and friendship. Michelle was even surprised to see Rex grooming Eiger.
What was even more surprising was that Rex started cuddling. Rex didn’t like cuddling so much before. But when he saw Eiger enjoying it, he also began to enjoy it. Rex finally realized that it’s not such a bad thing to be a big brother to a puppy.
Now, Rex takes his new role as a big brother seriously and genuinely loves being around Eiger. Rex’s change of heart was quite a pleasant surprise for his family. Both dogs are now best friends and inseparable. Here’s a video featuring Rex and Eiger becoming best friends.
