Brothers and sisters are supposed to be there for one another. They’re supposed to get along, watch each other’s backs, and have fun together. But in reality, it doesn’t always work out that way!
Deep down, brothers and sisters love one another, but that doesn’t mean they have to get along. Many siblings develop rivalries and annoy one another, and this funny phenomenon even exists in the animal world too.
Just take a look at these dogs who are clearly not too happy about having a brother or sister.
1) Not A Very Friendly Greeting
This Pyrenean Mountain Dog named Milo is meeting his new baby bro for the first time, and it doesn’t look like he’s too pleased about it.
2) That Face
Sometimes, a facial expression says more than words ever could. That’s the case here.
3) Why Do You Have To Be Like That?
The dog on the left looks like the moody miserable teen sibling of the happy pup on the right. Maybe someday they’ll get along.
4) Grr!
The poor dog on the right doesn’t seem too happy about his new sister showing off her fangs. At least he’s trying to keep cool about it and simply leaning away, rather than growling back.
5) Nom Nom!
Ouch! This poor, unfortunate dog is getting his leg chomped on by his new baby sis.
6) New Teddy Bear
Looks like this big boy has got a brand new teddy bear to snuggle up with, but he doesn’t seem all that pleased about it.
7) Who’s The Boss?
The new white dog seems to be asserting his dominance in this household!
8) That’s Not A Chew Toy
It’s funny how this big dog simply seems to have given up and allowed his little bro to chew on his tail. He just hasn’t got any energy left anymore.
9) A Little Confused
The big dog, named Sarge, seems a little confused by how close his new sister, Pepper, wants to be to him at all times.
10) Behind You
These two brothers look like they’d form an awesome comedy double act.
11) Respect Your Elders
The owner of these dogs heard one of them crying and came to see what was going on, finding the big older brother blocking the stairs and preventing the little one from climbing up.
12) Why Can’t I Be An Only Child?
The dog on the left looks so mad at his brother’s happiness! That’s one of the coldest glares we’ve ever seen.
13) Play Dead
Looks like the big dog is playing dead and hoping his annoying younger sibling will eventually leave him alone.
14) Patience Is A Virtue
We’ve got to respect this big dog. It can’t be super comfortable having a sibling trying to use your head as a pillow, but the older dog is doing her best to stay patient and calm.
15) Look Closer
At first glance, you might not even notice that there are actually two dogs in this picture! Take a closer look, and you can see that one of them is being used as a seat.

This annoying little bro has decided that his sibling is just the right height and squishiness to be used as a headrest for their car rides.
17) That Glare
This poor dog, being used as a seat cushion by his bro, is glaring at his owner like “Why did you have to get another dog!?”
18) Turning His Back
This big dog, named Watson, decided to turn his back on his super cute sibling, hoping that he might disappear and stop annoying him all day long.
19) That Face
That facial expression says it all. This older dog is not at all happy about the new addition to the family.

With its little grey beard and eyebrows, this old dog looks so grumpy and grouchy as its sibling tries to play around.

23) Life Was So Good Until You Got Here
This funny pup looked so happy and cheerful until he heard his little brother running in behind.
24) Nope, Nope, Nope

25) My Life Is Ruined
There’s not a whole lot of love on the face of that older husky when his new little sis comes to play.
26) Don’t Touch Me
This little pup definitely isn’t a big fan of her sister touching her.
27) I’m Not A Seat
We’re seeing a bit of a trend here of little sibling using their big brothers and sisters as car seats. It might be comfortable for them, but it doesn’t seem fun for the ones being used as seats.
28) Life: Ruined
This older dog was so happy and peaceful in her home… until the new pup arrived and started eating her face.
29) Brotherly Love
Even if you had some arguments with your brother or sister when you were young, they probably didn’t spend most of their days sitting on you like this one!

Some siblings break the trend and turn out to be best buds, never arguing or having any issues with one another at all. Sadly, that’s not the case here.

This big bro was caught redhanded, wrestling with his younger sibling and looking at his owner with those big, innocent, puppy dog eyes to try and get out of trouble.

35) Sibling Life
Plenty of bullied brothers and sisters all over the world can relate to this image.
36) Chillin’
This big dog doesn’t seem too bothered about his little bro using his nose as a pillow, but when the little one starts getting older, it could become a problem!
37) What Is It?!

39) I’m Watching You
The Boston Terrier seems more than a little suspicious of his new Dachshund brother.

The chair is more than big enough for both of these dogs, but one of them insists on sitting on his brother instead.

This big bro is doing his best to ignore his little brother’s annoying behavior, closing his eyes and hoping he’ll just disappear.
42) Little Help, Please?

This poor dog probably wonders what he did to deserve such an angry little sibling.

This big sister Pitbull looks so fed up with her little sister’s antics. She just wants one little moment of peace and quiet.
54) Oww!
That looks pretty painful, and the little puppy seems so pleased about biting her big sister’s leg.

These two dogs are leading very different lives. The older one looks so tired and bored, while the younger fluffy pup seems to be living the life of his dreams.

This big bro has had to get used to becoming nothing more than a fluffy cushion for his little brother.

66) What Is This?
The little pup seems so pleased to have a big sister, but the big sis isn’t quite sure about the situation.
67) This Is It
This is what being a little brother or sister is all about: annoying your older sibling as much as you can and getting away with it.

69) You’re It
Looks like this pup wants to play tag with his brother, who isn’t quite in the same mood.
