Golden Retriever's Reaction to Mom Snuggling New Puppy Has the Internet in Stitches

Bringing home a new puppy is always an adjustment, especially for the pet who's used to being the center of attention. For Beau, the Golden Retriever, the excitement of welcoming his new little brother, Bruce, seems to have already worn off, although it's only been a month. These days, he's feeling just a tiny bit jealous of all the extra love the puppy is getting.

In a video shared by their mom, she's sitting on the floor playing and snuggling with Bruce while Beau watches from around the corner. The attention used to be all his, and the expression on his face makes it clear he's wondering what happened. Viewers couldn't help but sympathize with the sweet Golden Retriever, whose adorable case of sibling jealousy is as relatable as it is sad and hilarious.

Wait…I actually feel so bad. I think he might just be a bit jelly he's not hanging out with his new brother.

"This is enough to stop me getting a second dog," shared @thiscommentisfree, and many people agreed with her.

@Debbie suggested, "Call him over and assure him," and Beau's mom replied, "This guy gets all the reassurance, trust me, but I feel like I have to give the puppy some attention too, you know?"

We get it. We're sure it won't be too long until these two guys are besties.
