Dog doesn’t know how to open door, so sibling helps him “every single time”

Many owners worry about having a two-dog household, but when introduced properly the two can not only cohabit without issues—they can also become best friends!

A viral TikTok video shared on Tuesday under the username @the_craftin_couple shows the beautiful friendship between two dog siblings who also happen to be best friends. Accordingly, the clip has melted hearts all over the internet.

The heartwarming post shows one of the dogs struggling to open the doggy door to get back into the house. His sibling quickly comes to the rescue, opening it as soon as he hears barking.

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), before bringing your new puppy home you should make sure that both dogs have a space of their own, such as a crate or an exercise pen, where they can retire when they’re not in the mood for interaction.

It’s also crucial that the dogs meet in a neutral place like in the car or in the yard, so that your established dog doesn’t see the puppy’s arrival as an invasion of their space.

You should always supervise their interactions until you’re sure they’re comfortable with each other, separating them whenever you start noticing either of them becoming overwhelmed.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 260,700 views and 26,700 likes on the platform.

One user, Nicole, commented: “True love. I wish I had a life partner like that. this just made my morning.”

Another user, Amy@SintonAnimalFriends, commented: “My Maggie, aka The Boss, sits in front of foster crates and barks to remind me they haven’t been walked yet. Every. Damn. Day.”

ClaireVoyant added: “Aww, my dogs bark to let me know when the cats want in.”
