Determined Rescue Dogs Argue Through Window Over 'Whose Fault' Drama Was

Pet owners typically know the instant a dog does something naughty because their face is filled with guilt, but just like human siblings, dogs can try and blame each other for the wrongdoing.

Subi, the light-colored rescue greyhound was having a playdate with Rex. These two, who are based in Melbourne, Australia, have been playing together for months. Some might even call their relationship true love. But like any relationship, there are bound to be some disagreements.

Subi and Rex had quite the argument in a November 3 TikTok video posted to the account @subi.the.grey. The two greyhound besties were arguing about who was responsible for getting the two of them separated. The clip catches these two dogs barking back and forth at each other through a glass door, with a humorous, albeit expletive-ridden, audio clip. Both were very adamant about who was to blame.

The way they were looking at each other made it seem like it was a very serious argument. Plus, all that barking is quite a shock as it is not very typical of greyhounds.

Greyhounds are known to be a quieter dog breed. They rarely bark, according to Better Pet. If they do bark, it is usually out of excitement. This energetic bark can be a result of an owner returning home or because of playtime. But greyhounds are also influenced to bark more after hearing it from other dogs.

Once Subi or Rex started, the other had to chime in, building off of each other's barks. Let's hope they were able to sort it out eventually and their future playdates can continue.

Newsweek reached out to the owner for comment via TikTok.

Do Dogs Feel Guilt?

Although viewers may not get to the bottom of which greyhound was responsible for them being separated, there might be other clues owners can use to find who is the guilty doggo in their household.

Dogs are expressive creatures and oftentimes when they do something naughty, their body language reeks of guilt. Veterinarian experts say this is an example of people attributing human characteristics or behavior to an animal, also known as anthropomorphism, the American Kennel Club reported.

That guilty look is usually shown through tucked tails, cowering, flattened ears, avoiding eye contact, visible whites of the eyes, and yawning or licking. It might make an owner think a dog is guilty, but oftentimes that look is only triggered by the owner's response.

The question remains unanswered whether or not dogs feel guilt. Instead, owners can take the time to train so their pups can learn what is appropriate behavior.
