A golden retriever sporting a cone after a vet visit has taken social media by storm, thanks to his cheeky brother’s antics.

The amusing scene, shared on TikTok by @livving.dead.girl, shows the cone-clad pup struggling to navigate the room.

To add to his woes, his brother playfully taps him on the back, clearly finding the situation amusing.

The pup, however, is less than thrilled and barks back in protest.

The owner’s voice can be heard intervening:
“Stop hitting your brother.”

A caption accompanying the viral video reads:
“When you’re not only stuck in a cone but your brother bullies you for it.”

This playful interaction hints at a bond between the two dogs, but it also sparks curiosity about whether dogs can truly form friendships.

Scientists have differing opinions on this matter.

Some argue that dogs, like their wolf ancestors, operate more like co-workers with individual ambitions.

Others, however, believe that the numerous heartening stories of animal friendships on social media suggest otherwise.

The video has garnered significant attention, amassing over 3.5 million views and 684,100 likes on TikTok.
