A lot can be said about a dog’s true nature by how they treat someone half their size. And Gunner, the gentle giant from @justgunnerstunner, proves that patience might just be his superpower. In the video, the massive XL Bully lounges beside his two pint-sized sisters, Tokyo and Aiko — a pair of mischievous little Dachshunds who clearly run the house (Just don’t tell the cat, Lucian!).
The text on screen reads, “My Dachshunds are being raised by a banned breed,” as Gunner sits perfectly still, tail softly swishing, eyes kind. The contrast is both striking and heart-melting — he’s all muscle, they’re all mayhem, and somehow it just works.
Owner shows how Bully raises Dachshunds in video
This incredibly touching and important video has quickly captured attention, racking up over 98K likes. It uses a popular, controversial issue to highlight the gentle nature of a loving pet. The clip rolls through a series of moments that could melt anyone’s skepticism about the breed.
We see Aiko nibbling on Gunner’s floppy lip while he patiently lets her. Then she moves on to tug at his back leg like it’s a chew toy, and he still doesn’t flinch. Tokyo joins in too — casually stealing his favorite bone and plopping down right between his front paws. Gunner just sighs, gives his human the most dramatic “Did you see that?” look, and rests his chin on the bed.
Despite the chaos, his love for them is constant. There’s a clip of him curled around Aiko during nap time, one giant paw draped over her tiny frame like a blanket. Another shows him and Tokyo basking in the sun, tangled together in lazy afternoon peace.
The reel ends with all three wearing colorful beaded collars, the caption reading, “Our brother is soft, not scary,” in the Dachshunds’ voice. And it’s true — Gunner’s not just their protector, he’s their calm, their safety, their “hero.” Viewers celebrated his loving personality, noting that “Gunner has more patience than most people I know!” It sure looks like that for most of us.
