Siblings. In every family, they seem to know exactly how to irritate each other, and that goes for canine siblings, as well. Henry, the Black Labrador‘s family was just trying to have some nice Christmas memories, but Henry? He woke up with a holiday chip on his shoulder.
Now everyone will know why. He’s a slap-a-holic. He’s doling them out left and right. He doesn’t care about Santa or presents or the Christmas spirit. Bah humbug! He’s in the slapping spirit, and absolutely no one is safe.
The caption mentions that “he’s lucky his Christmas presents were already wrapped and under the tree,” and I couldn’t agree more. Lump of coal, Henry! Those poor siblings. They just took what he was dishing out so politely.
Well, viewers are endlessly amused even if it is Christmas violence. “Bro woke up and chose festive violence,” commented one viewer. People admit that they cannot stop watching (“OMG, I watched this 10 times in a row.”) and, also, there is so much sympathy for the poor brown dog: “Justice for the brown dog.” LOLOL. They also don’t appreciate the way the brown dog was kissed before they were ruthlessly slapped.
Siblings Slapping Siblings Is a Tradition As Old As Time
Siblings annoying siblings is nothing new. Search TikTok, and you’ll be inundated with video after video of all sorts of craziness.
There’s biting, there’s slapping, there’s hitting of really sensitive areas.
Then there’s the popular “I will bark in your face until you give me some attention.” In the above video, you’ll notice it often ends with the victim sibling swallowing the offending sibling’s face whole. Definitely one way to stop it!

With Henry, it feels like he just woke up way overstimulated and decided everyone should experience what he was. That paw isn’t aggressive — it’s more expressive. It’s telling them, “I’m done,” “Don’t breathe near me again, ok?” and “This audio slaps, so I think I will, too.”
The fact that it’s all happening under a happy Christmas tree just adds to the insane family drama. Henry doesn’t want “peace on earth.” Henry wants “slaps all around.”
