New Puppy And Dog Have Hilarious Stare Off - Cute Videos

Two animals meet for the first time and hilariously engage in a prolonged staring contest.

Animals are all about establishing and maintaining dominance. Anyone who has ever owned more than one pet at a time knows this to be true. Whenever food or treats are present, there is always one who is the first to eat. When it comes to relaxation, that one particular dog or cat will, more times than not, get their preferred spot.

This idea of dominance has nothing to do with how friendly or unfriendly a dog or cat is but more about establishing a hierarchy amongst themselves. 

A short clip posted on TikTok shows a puppy and a full-grown dog meeting for the first time. The two cute animals immediately get into a battle of wills, with an extended staring contest.

In the clip, the puppy sits on a red rug in the middle of the room as the full-grown dog, from the other side of the room, stares at its new housemate. For the first few seconds of the video, there is no movement between the two as the camera ping-pongs back and forth between the two canines.

But suddenly, there is movement. The full-grown dog begins approaching the puppy. But the little guy does not appear intimidated in the slightest. The puppy holds his gaze and never breaks eye contact.

The full-grown dog continues walking up to the new animal. At about the 35-second mark of the clip, the two animals are nearly touching their noses.

Eventually, it appears the full-grown dog moves ever so slightly. This causes the puppy to jump, leaping playfully at the other dog. The puppy continues to greet its new best friend, touching the full-grown dog’s face several times before the clip ends.

It looks like this is the start of a beautiful friendship!
