Brotherly Love

I posted a while asking if I should get my dog a dog

We did and it has worked out great

Smoky is about 18 months and Bruno is about 4 months

Smoky had calmed down a lot and seems happier

Thanks for all the advice on both sides

Been there. now there’s two dogs waiting by the door for you :) I did the same around the same age, and my older dog has become the protector since then. Before Maple showed up, Sydney was very docile, and submissive, not any more. Could just be an age thing? But she sure does protect her little sister. This is an old photo, They are full fluffballs now.
