You might expect that big dogs would rule the home but it looks like that is not always the case. And that exception is exactly the case in the home of Claire Dean in Bala, Gwynedd, Wales. Claire has two dogs in the house – her three-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux named Theo and her 11-year old rescue Chihuahua named Chloe. Apparently, the large dog is afraid of everything!
The two odd couple siblings definitely get along well. However, there are occasions when Chloe is just too big for Theo. This is true despite Theo being physically MUCH larger than Chloe.
For example, there were the times when Chloe stole Theo’s bones and other toys. Theo never took any revenge against Chloe. And, there would she would frequently stand triumphantly on his bed as though daring him to do something but he would simply ignore her.
However, Theo is not just afraid of Chloe, he is afraid of everything! According to his owner Claire, Theo is quite literally spooked by every single thing.
Whenever Theo sees his own reflection, he goes on a barking spree like there is a stranger prowling through the house. He is also so afraid of the howling sound of the wind that he cuddles up with Claire to feel safe.
Believe it or not, the most recent fear on his list is his own shadow! It may sound hilarious to you but it is really kind of sad. Theo seems to be afraid of everything and everyone except for Claire.
Nevertheless, in spite of all his fear, he is all just bark and no bite. As massive as Theo is it is a really good thing that he is still a very soft-hearted pup at heart!
Not all siblings are rivals.
