The little pup, originally from Georgia, has only lived with Blevins for a few weeks. However, his determination and lively spirit have already made a considerable impact. “I only just brought him home to live with me on July 5,” said Blevins. “I had another dachshund who lived to be 15. He passed away last year so I started over with this new puppy—and he’s something else!”

Despite being barely 10 weeks old, Earl B carries himself like a ten-year-old veteran in the Blevins household. His audacious spirit is most evident during meal times, where Earl B confidently struts over to his significantly larger siblings, Piper, a 12-year-old pit bull mix, and Belle, a 3-year-old chocolate Labrador, openly eyeing their meals.

More interestingly, Earl B’s adventures don’t stop at trying to eat his siblings’ food. According to Blevins, this is not a one-time incident. “He wants to do everything the big dogs do,” she shared. “He follows them around, he plays with their toys and tries to eat their food! He has no idea he’s only three pounds!”

This puppy’s determined pursuit of parity with his larger, older housemates will likely benefit everyone involved. A study in the journal Evolution, Medicine & Public Health suggests that dogs thrive better with companions of the same species.

The study, surveying over 21,000 dog-owner pairs, studied the impact of environmental factors such as income, age, and residential setting on a dog’s health. It was discovered that dogs living with another animal companion were “significantly healthier than dogs with fewer household companions.”

Regardless of the initial bewilderment and possible annoyance from Piper and Belle regarding Earl B’s fearless attitude at meal times, Blevins is not phased. “My big dogs have spent their whole lives around a dachshund, they know how it goes,” she confidently stated. She even suggested that the larger dogs might be “a bit intimidated” by the pint-sized newcomer.

Blevins finds the young Daschund’s boldness around the larger dogs amusing and somewhat unexpected. “He’s too at ease with the big dogs, in my opinion,” she exclaimed. But this audaciousness appears to be part of a broader pattern displayed by Earl B. “He isn’t scared of anything! He tries to go up and down stairs and jump off the bed and couch, a real daredevil,” Blevins mused. “I’ve had a dachshund before; that’s just how they see themselves, as the top dog!”

With Earl B’s “big dog complex,” there’s never a dull moment in the Blevins’ household. The puppy’s spirited and fearless demeanor provides endless amusement. Even Belle, the chocolate Labrador, seems to be warming up to the sprightly dachshund’s lively antics. These humorous and adorable interactions serve as a constant reminder of how entertaining and unpredictable life can be with pets.
