Dogs can be rather intelligent creatures. That said, there are some aspects of life that are simply too complicated for them to fully understand… if at all. For example, just like human babies, dogs often see themselves in a mirror and think the have spotted another dog. As the pet owner in the video below has learned, the same can be true of shadows. Allow me to introduce you to Max. This super adorable puppy recently made a new “friend” his owner calls Shadow. Although they have only just met, Max already does not trust this second “dog.” This second pup does keep doing the exact same thing as Max, after all. You have to admit that is pretty sketchy. Needless to say, Max is not the biggest fan. Witness this sweet pup in action in the video below! @lee_401 Max made a new friend named “Shadow”. #shadow #puppy #fyp ♬ Welp, Didn't Expect That – Yu-Peng Chen & HOYO-MiX “Your black lab is just as fast as your other dog,” someone jokingly points out in reply to this viral video. Other clever commentors add, “This would make a great Pixar short” and “Ok but in fairness it took me a hot minute to realize there was only one dog.” This Fascinated Puppy Simply Can’t Get Over His New and Mysterious Shadow Friend Perhaps Max and his Shadow friend will make amends once he gets older. On the contrary, there is a good chance he will always have a rivalry with this mysterious “friend” of his. In any case, Max’s owner is certainly amused by this rather silly ordeal — and she is far from the only one. There are plenty of other pet owners who understand what Max is going through. Just take a look at this adorable Labrador who seems endlessly amused by a mysterious shadow friend of his very own. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
