“Excuse Me?!” Dog’s Hilarious Response to the Family’s New Puppy Addition

Bringing a new family member into the household is a momentous event, filled with excitement, adjustments, and sometimes even drama. However, not everyone welcomes the newcomer with open arms—or paws. Pets, just like humans, can feel a range of emotions when their cozy routine is disrupted. Whether it’s a baby, a kitten, or, as in this story, another puppy, the ripple effects are unavoidable. For one dog named Kevin, the arrival of a new sibling was nothing short of an earth-shattering betrayal that he simply couldn’t overlook.

Kevin’s life took a dramatic turn when his family unexpectedly brought home a new puppy, Lyle. What made it worse? They didn’t even ask for his approval! Kevin, who has always been the star of the show in his household, couldn’t believe his humans had the audacity to introduce a new furry sibling without consulting him first.

Kevin and Lyle are the beloved dogs of Carleigh Johnson Stroup and her husband. According to Stroup, Kevin has always been the center of attention. Known for his sweet and affectionate nature, Kevin thrives on cuddles and constant companionship. “Kevin is so sweet and loving,” Stroup shared with The Dodo. “We can never lay down without him immediately laying down with one of us.”

For years, Kevin enjoyed being the sole recipient of his family’s affection. From lounging on the couch to snuggling up in bed, he was used to being the center of his parents’ world. His routine was predictable, comfortable, and entirely focused on him. But that all changed the moment Lyle walked through the door.

So, you can imagine Kevin’s shock when Lyle, a high-energy and undeniably adorable puppy, entered the scene. Suddenly, Kevin’s kingdom was being shared, and he was less than thrilled about the arrangement. The sight of his humans fawning over Lyle felt like a betrayal of the highest order.

Dogs are creatures of habit, and a new addition can stir up feelings of anxiety and territorial concerns. For Kevin, the change seemed more like an insult. After all, why would his parents need another puppy when they already had him?

Kevin’s reaction to Lyle’s arrival was nothing short of iconic. In a now-viral video, Kevin’s facial expression speaks volumes. With a piercing “What have you done?” look directed at his humans, it’s clear that Kevin is not ready to embrace his new role as a big brother. “That’s absolutely his signature, ‘What. Have. You. Done.’ face,” Stroup explained.

Meanwhile, Lyle, oblivious to the drama, eagerly tries to win over his big brother. The little pup follows Kevin everywhere, attempting to play and bond. However, Kevin’s death stare remains unwavering, as if hoping his intense glare will convince his parents to return things to the way they were.

Lyle’s enthusiasm knows no bounds. Whether Kevin is napping, eating, or simply enjoying some quiet time, Lyle is right there, eager to join in. Stroup shared that Lyle’s obsession with Kevin is both adorable and relentless. “He only wants to go where Kevin goes,” she said. “He’s just absolutely obsessed with him.” Despite Lyle’s relentless efforts to befriend Kevin, the older dog’s look of betrayal doesn’t soften easily.

The adjustment period wasn’t easy for Kevin. Every playful pounce, every wagging tail, and every energetic bark from Lyle seemed to chip away at his peace and quiet. Kevin’s parents tried to reassure him with extra cuddles and attention, but it was clear he wasn’t ready to share the spotlight.

However, over time, even Kevin couldn’t resist Lyle’s charm. While Kevin initially lamented the loss of his undivided attention, he has slowly come to accept—and even appreciate—his younger sibling. Stroup admits that the two have now become inseparable, much to everyone’s delight. “Even after all of Lyle’s attempts at ruining Kevin’s peace and quiet, they’ve become inseparable,” she said. “Kevin appreciates having a brother to hang out with when we are gone.”

Their bond has grown stronger with each passing day. Now, Kevin and Lyle can often be found playing in the yard, napping side by side, or teaming up to beg for treats. While Kevin may never forget the initial shock of Lyle’s arrival, he’s learned that having a sibling isn’t so bad after all.

The adorable duo’s viral video has not only captured hearts but also earned them their own Instagram page. Fans can now follow Kevin and Lyle’s growing bond and witness their antics firsthand. Though Kevin’s initial betrayal face will forever remain iconic, it’s heartwarming to see him embrace his role as Lyle’s big brother—even if it wasn’t his idea in the first place.
