A new viral video shows a tiny Rottweiler refusing to back down in a tussle against a big canine. Garbo is small but fearless. She locks onto a toy and tugs hard. Degen, her big brother, stays calm and almost amused. The whole thing plays like a clash between a puppy versus a big dog. It is playful but also reads like a confidence-building lesson. By the end, Garbo keeps fighting for every inch. Degen still lets her try.
Puppy doesn’t give up, gives big fog a tough fight
The reel was posted on Instagram by @ginahedqvist this week. It shows “big brother Degen and little sister Garbo,” as the caption says. The dogs play on a gray blanket near the kitchen floor. Wooden cabinets and a brick wall sit in the background. The post had about 1K likes and five comments as of now. In this Puppy big dog video, the toy turns into a friendly tug match.
Play fighting like this can be normal sibling behavior. Dogs often test boundaries through short bursts of tug and wrestling. A bigger dog can also “handicap” themselves to keep it fair. Still, owners usually watch body language closely. Loose bodies and bouncy movement suggest play. Stiff posture and hard staring can signal real guarding.
The action starts with Garbo lunging at a pink and black ball toy. Degen holds it in his mouth and stands over her. Garbo pulls the rope end with quick, determined tugs. Degen growls lightly, but he does not snap. He even pins the ball with his paw at one point. Garbo keeps returning, then pounces again. The clip ends with her still trying to win the prize.
Fans replied fast. One wrote, “He’s training under the powerful Rottie Sensei”. Another said, “Just cute”. A third added, “???”. Someone else said, “Wonderful ❤️.”
