German Shepherd Tries To Swap Toys With Her Brother, but It Doesn't Go as Planned

If you have more than one pet at home, chances are they treat each other like human siblings do. Sometimes they're best of friends, while other times they can't stand each other. When it comes to German Shepherds Blitz (whom they lovingly refer to as "The King") and his sister Ember, it's pretty clear who runs the show, as you'll see in this video.

The clip starts with both dogs outside. Blitz has a ball that Ember clearly wants, though he doesn't seem willing to give it up. Watch as she brings him a few different toys, trying to get her to swap toys so she can have the ball. The look on his face definitely proves that he's not at all interested in making a trade with her!

Commenters React to Ember and King Fighting Over the Ball

Viewers had some funny things to say about King's reaction to Ember trying to take his ball. @leftwingrightwingsamebird pointed out, "Putting her head into his mouth like, 'Just get it over with if it means I get the ball!'"

Commenter @Andrea shared, "If you got them the same toy, they would still fight over one, lol! Mine do!" The dogs' mom replied, "That is a fact!"

The same thing happens at @Kelsey Alene Coburn's house, but with different results. "When our much bigger 2-year-old male takes our 8-year-old female's favorite toy, she comes to us for some very exaggerated lovins so he'll get jealous and drop her toy to come get lovins, LOL!"

Mom replied, "Smart girl, she knows exactly how to work it!"
