Some dogs might guard their snacks with their lives, but Django Smiles does not. In an adorable Instagram video from @djangosmiles, the sweet-faced dog sits through what his mom describes in the caption as “bestie brunch,” calmly watching as a tiny squirrel helps himself to the dog’s peanuts. Django’s owner tries to hand out peanuts one at a time, starting with Django, but what follows is sweet chaos.
Video shows dog is more than okay with sharing peanuts with tiny squirrel
In the video, Django’s owner feeds the dog peanuts as the little squirrel hovers near the pile. She says, “Well, okay, this one is for you, I guess. And then this one—”before the squirrel cuts her off by darting in with zero manners and a lot of confidence.
They are equally amused and surprised. She goes, “Oh, stop. Did you want one?” while holding out a peanut — but the squirrel ignores the polite offer and grabs a peanut on its own. The dog mom praises him with, “Okay, yeah, you take one. Good job. Good boy,” laughing at the scene.
Then she turns her attention back to Django, who stays in place and watches closely, telling him, “Django, he’s taking your peanuts,” and that is when Django finally responds with a dramatic round of heavy huffing. The owner asks, “Oh my goodness. What are you gonna do?” as the squirrel runs off again.
Of course, the squirrel returns for more. Hence, the owner checks in once again, asking the dog, “Are you guys sharing a little snack?” and laughs as Django answers with more huffing. By the end, mom pronounces the dog and the squirrel “best friends,” probably because of their shared love for peanuts in this video.
Viewers loved the dog’s calm reaction. One comment read, “How is he so calm with the squirrels.” While another joked, “He’s like mom excuse me why are you sharing my snack.” Well, Django might love his peanuts, but he probably loves being his mom’s good boy more.
