Imagine a lazy evening where the only real drama involves two dogs and a plush vegetable. On the @zoemarietheaussie Instagram page, a recently shared video shows the absolutely chaotic energy of living with a furry sibling. While Zoe, a beautiful Australian Shepherd born in 2016, tries to relax, her brother Charlie has other plans. Despite having his own stash, the fluffy white Bichon Frise decides that whatever his sister touches is his. It just goes to show how one dog can obsess over another’s toys without a shred of guilt.
Dog shows no fear while stealing toys from sister
The scene opens in a cozy bedroom with the TV humming in the background. Zoe sits calmly on a plush blanket, minding her own business. She is playing with a green cucumber toy and once she takes a break, she keeps it under her paw for safekeeping. Even though Charlie has two items right in front of him, he starts sniffing hers. Suddenly, he yanks it away with zero hesitation. Zoe just watches him, looking remarkably displeased but choosing to stay peaceful. “Siblings, am I right?!?!” her owner joked in the caption of the post. True.
Charlie doesn’t stop with just one heist. He briefly tosses the cucumber back before snatching it again right in front of Zoe’s face. The Aussie’s “big sister” energy is on full display here. One viewer even commented that she is remarkably tolerant of his antics. Except for a confused look, she doesn’t reprimand Charlie at all.
Later, the owner gives Zoe a new bagel-shaped toy to make up for the theft. Charlie is already hoarding the cucumber and another plushie under his neck. Yet, he still wants what Zoe has. He leans over and slides the bagel away from her paws as wekk. Zoe simply stares at the wall, seemingly questioning her life choices. Hundreds of people liked the clip, with many empathizing with her confused face.
Zoe might be the older one, but her little brother definitely has the bigger personality. Hopefully, she eventually gets to keep a toy for more than five minutes. If you have a multi-pet household, this relatable robbery probably looks very familiar.
