In a video shared on TikTok by the dogs’ owner, who is known as Emmaajayneee, the Labrador can be seen standing back until the other dog has finished drinking from its bowl. The footage is accompanied by a caption that says: “Sidney was written by a [woman].”

In a further comment, the owner confirmed that both dogs have their own bowls for food and water, but Poppy always prefers Sidney’s ones, and Sidney allows it.

According to data published by the American Kennel Club (AKC), Labrador is the most loved dog breed in the United States, followed by the French bulldog and golden retriever.

Labradors are very affectionate dogs, and they’re great with children and other dogs. Their lifespan is usually around 10-12 years.

The video, which was first shared on the platform earlier in April, has gone viral, reaching over 37,800 likes, 190 comments and 343 re-shares.
