One dog was feeling a bit selfish and hilariously refused to share with a playful puppy.
Selfishness and self-centeredness are not good traits to possess and exhibit. They are not the way to be or live life. No one enjoys being around someone who is only concerned about themselves, and someone like that will quickly find themselves alone and without many friends.
Being selfish and putting yourself at number one is expressly against God’s Word. In the New Testament, Philippians 2:3 instructs Christians to do “nothing through envy or through pride, but low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself.” There are also many other passages in Scripture about giving to and caring about the needs of others.
So, it’s safe to say that selfishness is something that we should all avoid becoming and exhibiting.
However, people aren’t the only creatures on Earth who can sometimes be a tad selfish. As one cute and hysterical video shows, even man’s best friend can occasionally be self-centered and selfish.
In the clip, a large, full-grown dog has a hold of what we can assume to be its bed. Near the bed is a small, black-and-white colored puppy. The puppy desperately wants to relax and hang out in the warm, soft, cozy dog bed. However, the large dog with the bed in its mouth refuses to share it with the playful and energetic pup.
In the opening moments of the minute-long video, the puppy hops into the bed and soon gets taken on a wild ride. The large canine continually swings and drags the bed back and forth, apparently to remove the little guy.
Eventually, the large canine successfully removes the puppy from its bed. But the puppy is determined and keeps coming back repeatedly.
As the popular saying goes, sharing is caring, but the full-grown dog was not in the sharing or caring mood at the time.
Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good but keeping in mind the things of others.”
