Can you imagine that the Rottweiler is a descendant of the mastiffs of the Roman legions, a very powerful and rugged breed that can scare small puppies as big as its head?
It may sound silly, but one member of this world-class Guardian breed literally didn’t have the courage to get off the couch because of the tiny pup he was trying to play with.
However, once he gained confidence in her good intentions, an incredible relationship developed, which continues to this day. This sweet story will melt your heart and make you laugh.
At first the couch was his safe place.
The Rottweiler named Dozer got along very well with his sister Lyla and they really fit in with each other.
One day, their mother, Kimberly Ward, decided to welcome her new family to her home in Claremore, Oklahoma. A French girl named Daisy causes a lot of trouble among the Rottweilers, making Dozer especially angry.
As soon as his new sister arrived at her new home, she had lots of dozers and always wanted to play with them. But he didn’t know how to react.
“The first couple of days, he was kind of scared of her,” Kimberly Ward told The Dodo. “She was so tiny and outgoing and charismatic … She wanted to play with him all the time, but he didn’t know that he could be a puppy.”
The more he ran away from her, the faster she ran after him. In an instant, he realized that climbing on the couch was the only thing left for him because Daisy was so small that there was no way she could climb on it.
For the first few days, that was his safe place.
She Brought Out The Puppy Inside Him
Daisy was so persistent that there was simply no way she would fail in her plan. She would prance around her big brother, nipping at his feet and barking until Dozer had no choice but to give in and play with her.
“The first time that he ran with her and figured out that she would chase him, it was on,” Ward said. “He figured out that he could be interactive with her.”
From that moment, their unbreakable bond began to blossom. Although Daisy had incomparably more energy than Dozer, he tried to keep up with her in every way.
They loved chasing each other around the couch, playing in the yard, and playing hide and seek under the bed.
The most impressive thing was that Dozer was not at all aggressive while having fun with his little sister. “He knew that he was supposed to be gentle with her and that she was tiny,” Ward said.
Playful Daisy actually did something that no one in her family believed. She raised puppies in Dozea.
In fact, playfulness was his love language, the language Dozer understood best.
New sister fits perfectly
While Dozer and Daisy are famous for getting along, and little Frenchie is fitting in perfectly with his new family, Ward felt he needed someone to match his energy level.
After Mocha was brought to the Claremore home, the family grew rapidly. The other Frenchie was Daisy’s perfect playmate and the younger sister of her Rottweiler siblings.
Daisy loved Mini Moe, as she was called, from her first day.
“I bet they play and wrestle and run and chase each other two or three hours a day,” Ward said,” It’s incredible.”
Just like Daisy, Mocha also loved playing with the big boys when she grew up, although she became a completely different personality from Daisy. She was calm and loved to cuddle.
Dozer, just like Daisy, was gentle with Mini Mo, and sometimes he would even deliberately let her win his favorite game of tug-of-war.
They all truly became one big, happy family.
And, when asked if Ward and her family have thought about bringing another little sister into the mix, Ward said, “There’s always the possibility of a tinier sister or brother.” For Dozer and Daisy, the more, the merrier!
