Sometimes, when you bring a new puppy home, it takes them a little while to adjust to all the new sights and sounds. They don\u2019t always know the difference between friend and foe\u2014which can make for some adorable exchanges during the learning process.<\/p>\n
Chewie, the Shihpoo puppy, just had the cutest argument with a dish towel we\u2019ve ever seen, and it\u2019s the perfect reminder that even the simplest things can seem super scary to a brand-new pup. His mom shared the terrifying (and hilarious) encounter on their TikTok, @chew.chew.the.shihpoo, and it\u2019s almost guaranteed to make you giggle at his tiny but mighty bravery.<\/p>\n
According to his mom, this little fluffball is always arguing with something, and today\u2019s opponent is a fuzzy dish towel hanging from the oven handle. The black-and-tan cutie is sitting directly in front of his nemesis and using his serious big-boy bark to let the towel know there\u2019s only room for one of them in this kitchen.<\/p>\n
When he jumps up for a closer sniff, the towel moves\u2014and that\u2019s it. Chewie has had enough! He jumps back, like the dishcloth is about to eat him. His mom tries to reassure him, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a towel!\u201d but that doesn\u2019t calm him one bit. He continues to toss tiny woofs toward the hand towel in adorable protest of its presence.<\/p>\n
