We often see our pets as furry babies, but it turns out they might be acting more like older siblings, and our kids are definitely taking notes.
An adorable viral Instagram video proves this theory beyond a shadow of a doubt, showcasing a Golden Retriever accidentally teaching a baby dog sounds.
The mystery began when a mom noticed her daughter making unusual groaning noises.
It puzzled the parents for a while until they finally connected the dots: their Golden Retriever made the exact same sounds!
The clip shows the infant groaning during playtime, and later, the mischievous pooch is seen walking around the house with a blanket in his mouth, making similar groans as he goes about his day.
This brother-sister duo’s identical noises are utterly endearing and hilariously prove just how much of a “sibling thing” it is to pick up habits from each other.
Commenters found the video both funny and relatable, with many chiming in about their own experiences.
One user playfully remarked that the “big bro” was teaching his little sister how to talk, while another joked about their “toddler howls at dinner time.”
So, if you have dogs at home, get ready for some unexpected and often hilarious habits your human baby might pick up.
While some traits could be good, like listening (after some initial hesitation!), be prepared for the possibility of them ganging up on you for treats and snacks.
Stay sharp – you might need to be a step ahead of this adorable, furry, and surprisingly influential duo!
