Sibling Pugs! Anyone who grew up with a sibling and went on long car trips knows that sitting in the back seat of a car with little to no power over how long you will be stuck in said car has definitely picked a fight with the person sitting next to them.
And dogs are no exception.
We see that in this new funny video from the account @frankiedoesny, featuring Pug siblings Frankie and puppy Pug, Rambo.
Little Rambo is upset because Frankie has escaped from his car seat while Rambo is still strapped into his own on their car trip.
So, as a result, Rambo has decided to repeatedly hit Frankie for being in his space and for having freedom and autonomy of self, ultimately.
In response, Frankie is now barking. His mom asks him why he’s not in his car seat. “If you don’t want him to bother you, then get back in your car seat,” she says.
Seems logical.
Frankie ends up obeying his mom and gets back in his car seat, though he doesn’t seem happy about it as he continues to bark.
Frankie and Rambo’s mom wrote as a caption, “When the kids are arguing in the back seat,” as they do remind you a lot of children poking and yelling at each other in the car.

Should Dogs Have Car Seats and/or Seat Belts?
The answer is generally yes when it comes to car seats and seat belts for pups.
“Dogs should be safely and comfortably restrained during all car trips to protect everyone involved—no one plans on having an accident, but accidents occur,” said Dr. Carol Osborne, DVM, an integrative veterinarian and owner of Chagrin Falls Pet Clinic, to PetMD.
“Dogs roaming around in your vehicle can inadvertently cause an accident, and you can both be injured as a result. And even if a dog doesn’t cause an accident, they can be severely injured or injure others if they become airborne,” she said.
Pugs
Pugs are small, sturdy dogs best known for their wrinkled faces, big round eyes, and charming personalities. Originally bred as companion dogs, they thrive on human attention and love being part of the family. Pugs are affectionate, playful, and often a little mischievous, making them wonderful companions for both individuals and families.
Despite their compact size, pugs have big personalities. They enjoy short walks and playtime but are just as happy curling up on the couch with their favorite person. Because of their short noses, they can be sensitive to heat and intense exercise, so gentle activity and a cool environment are important.
With proper care, a balanced diet, and lots of love, pugs are loyal, entertaining companions who bring joy and laughter wherever they go. 🐾
