Foster Beagle Puppy Hilariously Tries to Get Pit Bull to Love Her Back

My dog had to get used to fosters coming in and out of her house from an early age. Some were large and had food aggression issues (we solved those by feeding her in her crate where she knew no one but her could get at the kibble). Some were puppies who followed her around like—well, like a puppy. She was a friendly, sociable dog, more than happy to show the new ones the ropes, whether they were big or small. In fact, t he only time I ever even saw her snap at a foster was when she was dying of cancer and the new puppy was mouthing the area where her tumor was.

The dog in this video looks perfectly healthy, but also wants nothing to do with the love an affection being offered to him by a very overeager Beagle foster puppy. Hopefully he’s just slow to warm up.

In this video, we see a cute, roly-poly little Beagle puppy, and the large brown Pit Bull trying hard to ignore her.

For two weeks, Porsche the foster puppy flirted and flirted with Baloo, an eighty-pound, chocolate brown pitta, who kept a polite but chilly demeanor in response to all her antics.

When they’d lay on the grass she’d try to cuddle him, and he’d just turn his head away. She’d scamper all over him and he’d pretend she wasn’t there. She even insinuated herself into the crook of his arm and he just lifted his head higher.

Honestly, that’s one patient dog.

Introducing a New Dog To Your Household.

Baloo is clearly a very well-behaved canine, who may not be buying whatever Porsche is here selling, but isn’t so annoyed that he wants to “correct” her in the time-honored canine tradition of a well placed nip or even a growl of discontent.

When bringing a new puppy into your home, it pays to introduce them to the resident animals slowly, on neutral territory like a nearby park or even yard, and certainly remaining in supervision of them both until you are sure that no one is going to get territorial and angry. Even well-trained dogs can have unexpected social issues when meeting new arrivals, but you know your dog best.

In this case, Baloo seems to tolerate the little one, which is sometimes the most that anyone can ask for, especially at first.

Remember, just because you imagine your dogs are going to be best friends they have minds of their own. Sometimes, not hating your roommate is the best you can do—especially if your roommate is a hyperactive puppy.

How To Get Dogs To Bond

But although these interactions can be cute in the short-term, there are ways to make sure that old dogs decide it’s good to have the little one around. Make sure that interactions with the small dogs are low-pressure and fun — doing activities the established pet enjoys, such as special walks or outings. Make sure the new arrival isn’t infringing on the established dog’s turf, like sitting in his bed or taking pride of place at the foot of yours. If you give attention to the new puppy, make sure you’re also loving on the older one. And of course, there’s always the liberal application of treats.
