Girlfriend Realizes She's the 'Other Woman' After Dog Reacts to Hand-Holding
Newsweek ^ | Jan 21, 2025 | Liz O'Connell

Posted on 01/22/2025 2:59:12 PM PST by nickcarraway

The moment a girlfriend tried to hold hands with her man to show the dog's reaction left viewers in stitches.

A January 16 TikTok video by user @blacksheep6012 showed the couple sitting together on the couch with their dog minding her business at the footrest. Although she was resting, the canine closely watched the woman, ensuring no funny business would happen under her nose. The dog couldn't bear seeing them together; that was her man, and she needed to make sure the woman knew.

All was fine among the three of them until the woman reached out and grabbed her man's hand. This immediately got the dog up. She made her way to the couch and positioned herself between the couple.

The pup then proceeded to get up close and personal with her human. She tried planting a kiss on his face. To make sure the woman was watching, the canine turned back to her with a death glare that screamed: "How dare you come close to my man?"

It dawned on the girlfriend that she is the third wheel in the house, and she wrote in the caption that she is "the other woman."

One of the funniest parts about the dog's reaction is that the woman didn't come into the picture late. She didn't ruin the relationship the canine might have had with the man.

She wrote in the comment section: "I actually am the one that adopted her as a puppy he didn't even want me to get a dog."

We had 3 female dogs, I couldn’t pet any of them in the presence of the others as it turned into vicious dog fights. They only did it with me, not my wife or daughter.

If I sit next to my wife on the couch, our dog Cody IMMEDIATELY jumps up and gets between us. My wife really dotes on him (I mean a LOT).

I had a German Shepherd and a Lhaso Apso. I had to make sure the German Shepard was given attention first and to her satisfaction before I could give the Lhaso Apso attention.

Sounds like an alpha female limiting her competition for the alpha male. There is something to all of that.

We have three cats and there’s a certain order for petting them without witnessing a hissy fit.

Do you ever accidentally mess up and trigger them? It’s like that game Simon Says from the 70’s.

Decades ago when I was in the dating pool, my girl-cat was downright vicious to the women I brought home. Hissing, spitting, looking daggers at them. When she finally accepted one I knew that was who she found suitable for her man. My faithful girl cat lived another 15 years afterwards and and I’ve now been happily married over 40 years.

When my wife and I started dating, her mom ad a terrier/dachshund mix who liked me but if my wife sat next to me, the dog became standoffish. I joked that the only reason she married me because I was the only BF the dog would tolerate. After we got married, we would take care of the dog when her mom and her husband traveled. That dog would get up at 6:00 in the morning (mom was from the farm) & come to my side of the bed to dance and snort until I got up, let her out and fed her.

“Some guys, they do anything to get girls. I was trying to get girls while I was taking my dog for a walk. I figured some girl would say, ‘Oh, what a cute dog.’ Before you know it, you start talking, you get the girl. Didn’t work out, my dog is too smart. He was using me to get other dogs.”

My best buddy has two female German shepherds.
They are sisters and they both love me.

It gets interesting sometimes.

It’s a well known practice to favor the old dog over the newbie.

The old one cares, the newbie doesn’t (yet).

George T Cat hated every guy with the exception of my dad. He loved to climb into dad's shoes. But every guy I dated or even allowed in the house was met with total disdain. And you have never seen disdain until you have seen it coming from a five pound fluff ball. Until that one special guy appeared. Yep, that was the one I married.

The Cat knows. Trust the Cat.

The first time my current husband came to my place after we met, my Maine Coon, Duchess, jumped right up in his lap first thing. I thought that was a good sign.

We have 2 mini dachshunds, 1 year apart. The minute I carried the younger one, the male, into the house, he completely became the dominant dog -— 8 weeks old, and dragging the one year old female around by her ear. Every time we show any attention to the older one, the male has to try to get between us. If I put them outside, the little one races to get to the door first, fake mouthing at the female to keep her from getting out the door before him. Pretty much same behavior in most situations. I call him a little bully, but he is very sweet and affectionate; he just HAS to be first!
The little dachshund we used to have would try to bite me if I approached my husband to give him a kiss, if he was sitting in his lap. My husband was HIS, and he wasn’t going to share him with me!

Amazing little creatures aren’t they.

A Maine Coon in his lap? Was she being friendly or trying for a satisfying double femur snap?

Some great stories in the posts here, but there is possibly something being overlooked. The progressive propaganda organ, Newsweek, is reduced to collecting cute pet stories from TikTok.
