Tiny Chihuahua Uses 135-Pound Bully Brother As Bed and Loves Every Second of It
Typically, when we're ready to add a second dog to our home, we choose one that kind of matches (if not exactly matches) our first one. It's what we know and are comfortable with, so by default, we gravitate toward what we know.
On Monday, October 21st, one family went viral for their unusual dog combination and the hilarious opportunities it's granted them. It seems like the biggest one is the fact that they definitely only need one dog bed...
Life With Bullies is undoubtedly tough for the humans who are responsible for wrangling them, but for Chihuahuas who simply need a comfy cozy place to sleep, it's a breeze. That's just hilarious!
There are two dogs in this video: Odin, the big Bully boy who's just about 3 years old, and his 22-year-old Chihuahua brother whose name we're unsure of. Despite being old as anything, the Chihuahua is still only 6 pounds, and he gets pretty cold sometimes! To combat that, he has his own bed and blanket he uses often, and his own fluffy bed.
Most important, though, he has a 135-pound American Bully brother who doesn't mind being used as a pillow every once in a while. He honestly probably can't even feel the pup sitting on him, especially when he's padded with the blanket. Even if he could, but now, he's almost certainly used to it!
Can Big Dogs and Small Dogs Get Along?
The main reason why a lot of people are wary of a big dog/small dog combo is because they're concerned that the big dog will get annoyed with and overpower the little one, which could potentially end in injury. While that can be true, with proper supervision and introduction, a big dog and a small dog can get along great!
Before you bring your big dog home to your little dog or vice versa, you should have them meet up so that you can get a general feel for how they vibe with each other. Most shelters will allow you to bring any incumbent pups in to meet the new addition when you're ready to pull the trigger.
Small dogs tend to get cold easier, and as a result, they tend to seek out warmth however they can, which often involves some snuggle time. When your dog wants to snuggle their sibling, you can allow it as long as they're not exhibiting signs of stress or discomfort. Luckily, Odin is snug as a bug!
