Tiny Shih-Tzu Doesn't Let Playpen Stop Him From Seeing His Dog Brother
Anyone who owns two dogs can tell you how much fun it is watching them interact with each other. One Shih-Tzu named Tigo wanted to be close to his dog brother Payton, even though Tigo was in his doggy playpen while Payton finished his dinner.
That's when Tigo found an innovative way to bridge the gap between them!
The hilarious video was uploaded by the TikTok account for @shihtzusofsavage and you can view it on Instagram here. People can't get enough of these adorable dog brothers.
People magazine reports, "The canines' owners, Brian and Rachel Hunter, of Savage, Minnesota, tell PEOPLE it was dinner time for the two Shih Tzus when Tigo's innovative incident occurred. Tigo had finished his food well before Payton, whom the couple has had for about 14 years.

"Because he's a puppy, he inhales his food, so we're like, 'Oh, we'll put him into his playpen just so Payton can finish because, being our little old man, he takes forever to eat," Brian says."
We can't get over how hilarious Tigo looks moving his dog playpen like that. What a smart boy!
The Hunters have a total of three dogs and it's just a beautiful example of how having more than one dog can enrich not only the lives of their owners, but the dog's lives as well. If you are considering adding another fur baby to your family, there are many wonderful reasons to do so!
Why Your Dog Needs Their Own Dog
Dogs are highly social animals, and having a doggy sibling can alleviate feelings of boredom or loneliness. An amused dog will be a less destructive dog!
Dogs learn from and copy each other, so having a dog and adding another dog to your family may aid in training the new dog, especially when it comes to getting them housebroken.
Dogs love playing with each other, so two pups that can run around and chase each other means they will be getting exercise and improving their heart health and muscle tone.
For the owners, having two dogs means experiencing double the joy, love, and unique personalities. It's so much fun watching two dogs play together, go on walks together, and cuddle each other.
Plus, adopting another dog into your family means you'll be saving a life, and making space in a shelter for another homeless dog to get a chance to find his forever family. There's nothing better than that.
If you are considering getting a dog to keep your own dog company, consider this your sign to do just that and visit your local Humane Society or animal shelter. Giving two pups a loving forever home is just such a wonderful thing to do, for both you and the dogs and the community!
