Maverick, the golden retriever, didn’t seem quite sure what to think about the arrival of his new human sister on April 13, 2024.

Machayla Culver, 27, and her partner filmed Maverick’s reaction to meeting baby Kaila. The amusing video has been shared on TikTok and has been a source of laughter ever since.

In her TikTok post (@machaylaculver), Machayla shows Maverick inspecting the crib, his expression a blend of curiosity and confusion. It’s evident that Maverick was unsure about the new tiny human in his home.

Machayla described Maverick’s reaction as “very confused, but intrigued.”

Despite his first reaction, Maverick is now embracing his big brother duties more and more each day. He’s exhibiting a protective behavior towards Kaila.

Seemingly amused by her dog’s reaction, Machayla said, “Our seven-year-old golden retriever, Maverick, was surprised and quite confused when we first brought baby Kaila home. His expression seemed more curious and concerned. We knew he would quickly adapt to not being an only child anymore.”

“And indeed, he has quickly become her biggest fan and personal bodyguard. It’s heartwarming to see, and he never strays too far from Kaila.”

The video shows Maverick’s protective instincts, watching over his new sibling to ensure she’s fine. This behavior continues even beyond the video recording, with Maverick keeping a close eye on Kaila every day.

Machayla has no doubts that Maverick will become a wonderful furry companion for Kaila. The American Kennel Club (AKC) concurs, noting that golden retrievers are naturally great with children and are known for their affectionate and playful nature towards other dogs and humans of all ages.

ACording to the AKC, golden retrievers are also trustful and enjoy pleasing their owners, thus earning the status as one of the favorite dog breeds in America.

Maverick and Kaila’s first encounter on video has received over 5.4 million views and 389,200 likes on TikTok. Machayla’s humorous video caption reads: “I wish I could read his mind.”

The unexpected fame Maverick has gained from the video has been exciting for Machayla. She said it has been “so fun to experience,” and she loves seeing her furry friend gain fans.

Speaking about the overwhelming response, she said: “The reaction on social media has been incredible. It’s been so entertaining to read through all the comments. I’m glad this precious home video has brought joy to so many people.”

The video has attracted many comments, many of them praising Maverick’s initial sassy reaction to his human sibling. Some of the amusing comments included, “Who ordered THIS? Not me.” to “The looks of betrayal lol,” and “I think he’s owed an explanation.”

One viewer appreciated Maverick’s devotion to his new role, posting, “He’s taking guard dog duty very serious!”
