A dog owner caught the moment her Doberman was forced to curl up in a tiny dog bed, leaving the internet users in hysterics after revealing who had stolen the much larger bed.
Dog owners Rich and Devon Wagner of Atlanta, Georgia certainly have their hands full with two Dobermans and a French bulldog. Each pup has their very own dog bed to rest and sleep in, but it seems that River the French bulldog much prefers to pick and choose where she sprawls out.
Devon shared a video on TikTok (@felix.and.westin) showing the moment she caught one of the Dobermans, named Westin, curled up into a tight ball in River’s small dog bed. Of course, that wasn’t his first choice, because as it turned out, his bed was taken by none other than River.
Of course, this wasn’t entirely surprising to Devon, who told Newsweek that River is “the boss of the house.” She may be the smallest pup in the pack, but she’s undoubtedly the one in control.
“I noticed as I came into the living room that Westin was curled into a tiny ball in River’s bed, as I looked to the right, I saw River enjoying having Westin’s giant bed all to herself,” Devon said.
“I was not surprised because we have two Dobermans, and she has them both wrapped around her little paw,” she continued.
Whether it comes to his dog bed or a toy he’s chewing, River regularly tries to boss Westin around. Devon does her best to “keep that under control,” especially as River tends to bark at Westin until he gives in.
Since the video was shared on TikTok, internet users have lauded the hilarious bond between River and Westin. In just a matter of days, the clip has gone viral with over 89,400 views and more than 10,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing.
The online response to the video is beyond anything Devon expected, and she’s loved connecting with fellow French bulldog owners who can relate to their diva antics.
“I’ve gotten a lot of nice comments from wonderful people, many who also have a Frenchie or a Doberman. Most of them said they’re not surprised to see the Frenchie taking the large bed,” Devon told Newsweek.
She continued: “Westin is friendly and loves all people and dogs. He is very athletic but also loves a good nap and snuggling. River is a ball of energy and loves all people. She is not a typical Frenchie, she has a ton of stamina and energy. She enjoys swimming and wrestling with her Doberman brothers, but her favorite activity is training for protection sports.”
TikTok users can’t get enough of River’s mischief, as many took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One comment reads: “That is so Frenchie of that Frenchie.”
Another TikTok user wrote: “The little dog is the Alpha.”
While one commenter added: “Go ahead and buy another one – although the Frenchie might take both.”
