Golden Retriever Puppy Meets His Reflection for the First Time and Doesn't Know What to Do
"Who is that?" One Golden Retriever puppy was so confused when he saw another dog staring back at him. Little did he know, he was looking in the mirror! It was the dog's first time seeing his own reflection. And it was so incredibly cute.
As a 9-week-old Golden Retriever, Saint is bound to experience so many firsts. His first walk, his first trip in the car, and yes - his first time looking in the mirror.

It was a big moment for the Golden, that's for sure. This was a first he was bound to never forget. In a video his mama shared online, it shows the Golden Retriever trying to figure out who the other dog was in his house. Who let this other good boy in?

The pooch was so surprised by the appearance of another dog that he started barking at it. He had to protect his favorite humans, after all.
"My Golden Retriever seeing his reflection for the first time," the video's onscreen caption reads.
"Where has mom been hiding this handsome man for so long?!!?" the pup's human joked in the caption.
People in the comments section couldn't stop laughing at the dog's adorable misunderstanding.
"This guy's got good moves," joked one person, as if reading the pup's mind.
"That brain cell is working overtime," someone else teased.
"Why are you copying me?!" chimed in another person.
"It's like he's reading my mind," added one commenter.
Are Puppies Territorial?
This little guy looks like he's ready to rumble. He doesn't like another dog in his house one bit. Some dogs are known for being a bit territorial, but what about puppies?
It depends on the dog of course, but puppies are not often territorial. Aggression is a behavior that is developed over time and is typically present in adult dogs.
This can be a good thing if you want a dog to protect your home or property. But it can be a mess if your dog is aggressive towards friends and foe alike. If your dog is exhibiting signs of extreme aggression, speak with an animal specialist. They can help you get your dog's aggression under control.
