Senior dog Sadie finally accepts puppy Nala

An emotional owner shared a heartwarming update about her senior golden retriever, Sadie, and the family's new puppy, Nala. In a TikTok video posted on March 14, Kailtlyn Braswell explained that Sadie, who is 13 years old, had not been fond of the energetic puppy since Nala joined the family. Sadie often growled at Nala and kept her distance. This is not unusual for older dogs. Puppies can be loud and full of energy, which sometimes stresses out older pets. Sadie had been less playful with age, only showing interest in gentle interactions rather than active play. However, a breakthrough occurred when Sadie finally played with Nala outside. They spent time together, with Sadie chasing Nala for the first time since the puppy's arrival. This moment brought tears to Braswell's eyes, signaling a turning point in their relationship. Since then, Sadie has allowed Nala to nap next to her and has engaged in play on her own terms, even if she still gets annoyed at times. The video has received widespread attention online, with many viewers expressing their joy in the comments. Users remarked on how the puppy’s presence seemed to bring out a playful side in the older dog again.
