A couple got their dog a new puppy—but judging by her reaction, she’d much rather be an only child, leaving the internet in stitches.
Kat Allen (@katallen__) shared footage of their new black Portuguese Water Dog, Stella, bounding up to their goldendoodle, Lola, who carried a toy in her mouth. She was less than impressed, and her reaction garnered 54,500 likes and 537,500 views.
“We got our dog a dog but it turns out she’d rather be an only child,” she wrote as the text overlaying the video.
In the footage, Lola bats her new sibling with her paw, leading the pup to lose balance and fall over.

“Don’t worry they’re friends now,” Allen captioned the post.
Portuguese Water Dogs, originally bred to herd fish into nets and retrieve lost tackle, are known for their intelligence, athleticism, and love of water. They tend to form strong bonds with their family and require consistent training and exercise to stay happy and well-behaved.
Goldendoodles, a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle, are popular for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and often hypoallergenic coats. They are social animals who generally get along well with other pets, though—as Lola demonstrated—not all are immediately thrilled with a new roommate.
Introducing a new puppy to an older dog can take time and patience. According to the American Kennel Club, successful introductions rely on neutral territory, positive reinforcement, and close supervision. Even if the initial reaction isn’t friendly, many dogs will adjust over time and form strong bonds.
TikTokers related to Lola’s less-than-thrilled response and flooded the comments with their own stories.
“My dogs pretended to be friends around us but when I got cameras I saw the male would take the female toys and and food. of course she couldn’t say anything,” said one user.
“Lmao doodles are so handsy,” said Rameisha.
“Lmaoooo! As much as I think my golden needs a friend I fear this is how it would go. I don’t see her sharing ANYTHING,” said Bianca.
“This looks like our current situation….. almost exactly since our oldest doodle is a light brown color and our new goldendoodle is black!,” shared another dog mom.
“Doodle hit him with the WWE special and strolled off like nothing happened lol,” said another user.
“I’m currently dealing with this. Did it got any better?” asked Jennifer.
Allen concluded: “Took some time but they are best friends now! Lola just needed to accept that Stella wasn’t going anywhere.”
