Watch As Golden Retriever Puppy Prepares To 'Choke Slam' Rottweiler

A golden retriever puppy has left the internet in hysterics after attempting to "choke slam" a rottweiler.

A clip of the pup's surprise attack has been watched more than 7.7 million times on TikTok and, according to one viewer, even the WWE "couldn't compare."

In the video posted by user @lucianoperez012, Ruby, a cream English golden retriever uses a bed as a spring to launch herself onto Lily, a four-year-old rottweiler—while the person filming laughs uncontrollably at her antics. The seven-second clip has more than 1.6 million likes and over 3,300 comments.

It is clear from the video and other posts by @lucianoperez012 that Lily and Ruby are good friends. The older dog is not bothered at all by the puppy's playful move—despite the breed's fearsome reputation.

As the American Kennel Club explains, some people consider rottweilers simply "ferocious attack dogs." It states: "Some municipalities have outlawed them, and some insurance companies won't cover rottweiler owners. Rottweilers were originally bred to be guard dogs, so they do have the potential to be territorial, but they can also be extremely gentle and loving when they are properly trained and socialized."

Stereotypes about dog breeds can have a big impact on their lives. In 2020, a survey of 1,053 members of the public and 1,078 veterinarians found that a majority thought smaller breeds were more sensitive to pain than larger ones, particularly the breeds considered "attack dogs," such as pit bulls, rottweilers and Doberman pinschers.

The animal advocacy group Faunalytics has described the survey results are "worrisome" and "particularly concerning in veterinarians." In reality, it said, "there is no known physiological reason for a difference in pain sensitivity across breeds."

The group said it appeared that the "responses were derived from breed reputations instead of direct knowledge" and animal lovers should "challenge those who seek to treat dog breeds based on misconceptions or preconceived notions."

Animal lovers on TikTok were clearly delighted by the clip of Lily and Ruby. One wrote: "Thought [she] was scared to jump! Now I see was just planning the attack."

Others praised the dogs' "sibling energy."

The top-rated comment, with more than 11,000 likes, said: "This needs the John Cena sound."

Another user made the same request, asking: "Can you do this video with the John Cena sound? The sneak attack choke slam one."

So, the original poster obliged. Newsweek has reached out to @lucianoperez012 for comment.
