Dogs are known for their friendly nature, effortlessly forming bonds with a variety of animals. Their innate desire for social interaction has made them wonderful companions not only for humans but for other pets as well. Yet, while they may seem friendly toward everyone, dogs like to establish deeper connections. After spending time with a friend, they often start to mimic their behaviors—a phenomenon that can be surprising in the animal kingdom. A prime example is Lola, a lovable dog who underwent a transformation when she met a new companion.
Lola’s New Friend
Melyssa Sobczyk, a devoted dog mom from Palm Desert, California, cherishes her pup, Lola, above all else. Despite being in her senior years, Lola remains playful and eager to learn new things, often bringing joy and laughter to Melyssa’s life. However, a swift change was on the horizon for both of them.
On a whim, Melyssa visited a shelter and adopted a cat named Goose, sparking a remarkable change in Lola’s behavior. The two bonded instantly and became fast friends. Melyssa quickly noticed that Lola began mimicking Goose’s behaviors; she began loafing like a cat and stretching in the same way after getting up. While this was surprising to Melyssa, it also made her happy to see such a great friendship flourish.
Reaction On The Internet
After capturing a video of Lola loafing, Melyssa felt this hilarious moment deserved to be shared and posted it on TikTok. The video quickly gained attention, and one viewer commented, “My pom learned from my cat that listening is optional.” While not all changes might be positive, it’s amusing to witness how well animals can mimic each other’s behaviors.
Another person shared, “I had a cat when I got a puppy, and while I was training the puppy, the cat picked up on some commands. He can meow on command, sit, give paw, and stand!” This showcases that even cats can be eager to learn commands, despite usually ignoring them.
Furthermore, it’s fascinating to see how eager cats can also be to learn commands, a behavior generally atypical for them. One commenter noted, “I got kittens after having a dog for a few years, and the dog has taught one of the kittens to bark.” This unexpected outcome highlights the surprising dynamics of interspecies relationships. It’s always heartwarming to witness the responses from others who find this situation relatable. Simple videos like this uniting animals can bring joy to many, reminding us of the lighthearted moments in life that we all cherish.
