When your sibling is a one-year-old pup and you're two

Sibling rivalry or fighting is normal, some even say it helps kids grow up and become more prepared for their adult life. 

But it's not often that you would find kids fighting with their fur siblings. Usually, the bond is likened to pure love. 

If we have to think about it and give it a closer look, when you have a toddler and a puppy, there might be some disagreement considering they are around the same age.

Now, when you first see something like this, it triggers many people because of all the dog attacks in our province. But the truth is some dog experts say that attacks can be a result of negligence by some pet owners. 

Keeping your kids around pets helps build their immunity and in this case, helps a little boy connect and play with a sibling figure, while also helping the dog have some innocent playtime. 

Here's another video of the two playing with each other, this time Harley was giving Pop Pop a good workout.
