Rex, an attractive Golden Retriever dog, belonged to Michelle and her family. Until the dog mama acquired a dog sibling for their pet, he was the only child. They took Eiger, a wonderfully cute Dalmatian puppy, home with them at the time. Rex was enthralled by the situation and wanted to know more.
That thought quickly evolved into outright envy. Eiger was disliked by the Golden Retriever. Rex was hesitant to share his toys with Eiger and refused to let the small puppy touch them. Instead, he’d make sure Eiger wasn’t allowed to play with them.
Michelle was stumped as to how to resolve the matter. She didn’t know how to convince Rex that Eiger wasn’t going to take his place. Instead, the owners desired a long-term relationship between the two dogs.
Michelle understood that Rex just wanted to be involved and be reassured that his family still loved him. However, the possessive Golden Retriever was definitely both resistant and hesitant towards his sibling.
However, after a while, Rex started to come along. He began to lick and groom Eiger, which showed that he was ok with having the dalmatian around. The dogs started to cuddle a lot.
Rex & Eiger would now even go inside the crate on their own. This was a ‘Wow Moment’ for Michelle and her family because Rex never liked cuddling. Still, Eiger loved it so much that the Golden Retriever started to enjoy it as well.
Rex soon became a big brother, and he took that role seriously. He just wanted to protect Eiger whenever something was going on. The two of them definitely had a fantastic relationship. They loved to cuddle, play, and sleep with one another and were inseparable.
