Rottweiler's Joy Over Being Accepted by New Dog Friends Goes Viral
Making friends is hard — for everyone. But it can be a whole different ball game when you watch your dog struggle to make some buddies. One dog owner showed her nervous Rottie right before the two headed to the dog park. And his little face has people in the comments section all torn up.
The Rottie was so concerned about being judged at the park, but his mama knew better.
The pup, Dyce de Rottweiler as his mama calls him, looked just a bit apprehensive at their front door.
"But what if everyone thinks I'm scary," the video's onscreen caption.

Have no fear Dyce, your mama had all the confidence that you would be a-okay. The clip then cut to the park, where the Rottweiler was running free with his new buddies.
"You found a way to show them you're actually the sweetest," the text overlay reads.
People in the comments section were so happy for the Rottie. "The two dogs: Hey look! That boy is very suspiciou- Oh wait! He can turn into a loaf, loafs are harmless. Hey, friend!" one person joked. "The way they instantly started playing," someone else teased. "I’ve worked in the veterinary field for a long time, and after watching people outright refuse to sit in the same waiting room as a Rottweiler, I want to show them this TikTok so badly," another commenter chimed in. "Sweet baby, making himself small to show hims a good boi," one person added.
Are Rottweilers Friendly to Other Dogs?
Rottweilers have a bad reputation for being aggressive. Hence why some people might even try to keep their dogs away from the pups out of fear that they are aggressive. But this just isn't true. Rotties that are well cared for and loved are well behaved — and they care for their humans so deeply.
But what about other dogs? It all comes down to how they are socialized. Dogs that are socialized early won't see other dogs as threats to their humans. And that in turn will let them be friends.
Female Rotties are considered to be more level-headed than their male peers. Males that aren't neutered can get aggressive with dogs of the same sex, so make sure they get the procedure young. You want to always keep an eye on your Rottie when around other animals, but with good training they should be comfortable around other dogs. Just look at Dyce — he's certainly proof.
