When you’re the new puppy in a home with older, established dogs, winning their affection can take time. For Binky, a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, making her two Golden Retriever brothers—Rocco and Grandpa Fred—fall in love with her is proving to be an adorable challenge.
Binky, only 8 weeks old, is clearly putting in the effort to win over her older brothers. Despite Rocco, the “middle child,” making her work for his approval, Binky isn’t backing down. She’s already showing her gentle, respectful nature, and it’s impossible not to root for her.
Rocco’s Big Brother Testing Ground
Rocco, as the resident middle child, is playing it cool with his new sister. He’s setting boundaries, not ready to fully embrace the new puppy just yet. But you can tell from the videos that there’s love bubbling under the surface. Rocco’s cautious approach is typical of a big brother ensuring the new sibling understands their place in the family hierarchy.
Grandpa Fred’s Reserved Approach
As for Grandpa Fred, the eldest dog in the family, he’s not as enthusiastic about Binky’s presence, but he isn’t hostile either. He’s content to let her settle in and hasn’t yet gone out of his way to welcome her into the fold. It seems like he’ll need a little more time before fully warming up to the new addition.
Binky’s Efforts and Growing Bond
Even though Binky has only been part of the family for a few days, she’s already working hard to prove herself. Whether it’s through gentle interactions or performing tricks to show off her smarts, she’s quickly becoming a part of the family. The fact that she’s catching on to tricks so quickly speaks to her intelligence and eagerness to bond.
Fans on social media are already rooting for her, with many predicting that Rocco will eventually realize how much he loves her being around. Some even joked about how quickly Binky will grow into a 120-pound Bernese Mountain Dog and be the one in charge of the house!
Despite the challenges of sibling dynamics, it’s clear that Binky is making her way into her brothers’ hearts one step at a time. Soon enough, she’ll likely be the boss of the house, and everyone will be happily following her lead.
