If you share your home with more than one dog, you already know: affection must be distributed equally. A viral video featuring two long-haired Dachshunds perfectly captures what happens when one pup gets all the love, and the other refuses to be ignored. The clip starts sweetly enough, but within seconds, it turns into a hilarious display of sibling-style jealousy.
The ‘other dog’ appears in front of the camera out of nowhere
The on-screen text sets the scene: “When you’re giving one dog attention and the other gets jealous.” At first, one dachshund soaks up affection in front of the camera. The pup leans in, enjoying pets and kisses, clearly basking in the spotlight. Then, the “other dog” enters the frame with sad, emotional puppy eyes. The caption sums up the moment perfectly: “‘SCUSE ME.” The camera catches it all, making it look like a funny example of the dogs making sure everyone gets equal attention.
Dog parents flooded the comments with stories of their own attention-seeking pups. One user wrote, “Hehehe sweet angel.” Another added, “Aww, Freddie.. I see u!” One commenter shared, “Know that! Always had to have both on my lap.” Others confirmed that the behavior is common. One wrote, “This definitely happens.” Another explained, “Facts. I’ll be giving smooches to one of my dogs, and the other will come flying out of whatever room he was in to insert himself.” One viewer even experienced the same thing in real time, saying, “As I’m showing my husband this video, our puppy decided to get on his face for kisses while my older one was waiting patiently. Thanks for the laugh!”
