Dog Crew of 4 All Have Wildly Different Reactions to Stuffed Pup

In a home with multiple pets, the resident humans usually feel a tighter kinship with one over the others if that pet's personality feels similar to theirs. For example, I relate most to our old, bitter Persian cat who's really a Grinch in disguise (and would sooner sleep than get into anything fun), while my husband is more like our optimistic Corgi, up for any new adventure.

In the Moriarty's full house of four pups-Maverick, Blue, Titan, and Bauer-each has a completely different response to Dad's surprise stuffed dog. Once you see this, you might think, "That one's like me!"

For starters, Maverick, the Golden Retriever service dog, is a very good boy who always has a good boy reaction, so this isn't much different. He's followed by an equally well-behaved Husky named Blue, who's more concerned and confused that the stuffie isn't responding, which is pretty on-brand!

Titan comes in third, and though he might feel similar to Blue, he's more interested in trying to figure out if the stuffie is nice because he wants to play (understandable).

And finally, the wrecking ball and youngest of the bunch, Golden Retriever Bauer, runs in like his fur's on fire! He's ready to slice and dice anything in his path, and today, it's that stuffed dog! So, of this funny canine crew, which one do you relate to most?

Mom and Dad love to test out reactions with the quad, and in another post, they attempted to trick the pups into thinking an alligator was swimming in the pool. Now that you've seen each of the personalities, I'm sure you can guess how this one ends!

We're safe from gators… I think? #dogsoftiktok#husky#goldenretriever#huskies#dogs

The Main Personality Differences Between Golden Retrievers and Huskies

If we take age, experience, and training out of the equations above, reactions to something new come down to the breed's general traits.

Golden Retrievers are typically eager to please, trainable, and affectionate "Velcro" dogs who thrive on attention, while Huskies are a little more independent, have higher energy levels, and can be stubborn at times, depending on what's in it for them.

Obviously, all of that goes out the window when our chaotic king, Bauer, comes along!
