Pit Bull Boops Toddler Sister's Nose In Cute Sneak Attack & The Joy Is Contagious
A family dog can bring so much joy to any home. In fact, perhaps one of the most precious family memories are those priceless moments of dogs and babies being adorable together. And now a viral TikTok has captured exactly that. The moment features the silliest pit bull named Coco, her toddler sister, and a hilariously timed boop. Seriously, this sneak attack is the epitome of joy.
@christinaa.ortega The chaos these two create 🥲 #pitbull #babyanddog #bully #fyp #besties
Coco the pit bull is the definition of a silly billy, and this video is proof. Because, when it comes to boops on the nose, this sweetheart pup can't help herself. The subject of Coco's boop this time around is her little sister, an adorable, giggling toddler. As Coco walks up, it's unclear at first what she might do as her sis continues to laugh. She even places her hand near Coco as if to pet her, but she's giggling so hard she misses.
Finally, when she least expects it, Coco attacks — boop on the nose! In the funniest turn of events, this loveable pit runs away. One viewer asked the question on everyone's mind: "Is this how dogs play 'I got your nose?'" We think the answer is absolutely yes!
Are pit bulls good family dogs?
Coco is the sweetest, but as the TikToker joked in the video, many expected this pup to be "vicious" because of her breed. It's true, pit bull types have a bad rep for being rather aggressive. A statement by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) shares that aggression is not breed-specific, and is most often context-dependent and fear-based. So, is Coco an anomaly, or can pit bulls be safe for families and small kids after all?
Pit bull terrier types (which include several variations), are known for their strong and playful nature. As the United Kennel Club (UKC) notes, they "make excellent family companions and have always been noted for their love of children." Pitties are also known for their rather high "prey drive," or natural desire to chase, chew, and capture. So, it's important to train and socialize these energetic canines to establish desirable behavior early.
Also of note, these tough-looking softies get so attached to their family that they're actually prone to separation anxiety. Proper counterconditioning and desensitization can teach your pit that even when its family is gone, everything is okay. While you're around, odds are you'll have a happy camper. So, if you're wondering what type of dog to get if you have kids, you can absolutely keep pit bulls in the running.
