We see a ton of pet-related social media posts and accounts. One of my favorites is TikTok user @leia.the.golden, which features two golden retrievers. As you can probably guess, one of those goldens is named Leia. And Leia’s got a new younger sister, Daisy. Only one problem. According to a recent 10-second TikTok video, Daisy has Leia “contemplating her new life,” in which she has a pesky younger sister.
The video is captioned “Leia’s contemplating her new life” and begins with Leia putting her front legs up on the couch, while her human parent films the interaction. Leia is trying hard to get away from Daisy, who is also standing on her hind legs and putting her front paws on the couch, mimicking her older sister and also getting closer to their human parent. The video captions what they imagine Leia is saying: “Mom, she’s bothering me again.”

“Mom, She’s Bothering Me Again”
Daisy then moves in closer, putting her paws on her big sister, Leia. Leia immediately tries hard again to move away, and the caption on the screen reads, “Ew, too close.” Daisy leans in even harder, putting her head on Leia, and the caption switches to narrating what Daisy must be thinking. “But sister, I just want to playyy,” the caption says. Then the video pans back to show just a close-up of Leia’s face with the caption reading, “Can we return this thing?” And that’s how the video ends!

Some other TikTok users chime in in the comments with their own narrations of what Leia must be thinking and trying to communicate. “Can we return it? I’ll drop her off at FedEx,” TikTok user @balian76 commented. “Get this thing away from me,” another TikTok user adds. “Excuse me, Mother, but this is unbearable. I simply can’t even,” TikTok user @MissKate also comments.
There are many benefits to getting another dog as a companion for your current dog. The first benefit is just that—companionship. Especially if you’re frequently out of the house for work or travel, this can give your dog some social interaction and a friend to keep them company. It’s also a good way to increase your dog’s activity. Younger dogs have more energy and love to play, keeping your older dog engaged and active. There are, of course, some things to consider. Mostly, it’s important to be absolutely certain that both you and your current dog can handle the significant lifestyle change and all that comes with owning two dogs.
