Dogs are more than just cuddly companions — research continues to show that pets bring real health benefits to their owners_ by [Rachel E.

Greenspan Jan 14, 2020 7:40 PM UTC Children are often taught that [sharing is caring](https://time.com/5693994/hotel-hack/), but [pets](https://time.com/5742575/lil-bub-viral-cat-dies-obituary/) don’t necessarily receive that same education. Just invite a friend’s pet over for a playdate and watch what happens when Scruffy tries to drink from your bulldog’s bowl. It could be an ugly sight. But one Goldendoodle named Penny remained remarkably calm in a [now-viral video](https://www.tiktok.com/@bauliflower/video/6779031590472371462), as a coyote played with some of her toys in the backyard. Penny watched longingly, turning to her owner with puppy dog eyes. “Guess I have a pet coyote now,” [TikTok user @bauliflower](https://www.tiktok.com/@bauliflower) wrote in his post. “10/10 would snuggle.” --- > “@bauliflowerGuess i have a pet coyote now, 10/10 would snuggle. #dog #coyote #fyp #foryou #foyoupage #funny #animals #goldendoodle♬ original sound – bauliflower” --- While the video, which reached over 500,000 likes on the app and almost 4,000 comments as of Tuesday afternoon, claims the toy thief is a coyote, some commenters believed it to be a wolf, citing its playfulness as the main reason. Others agreed that the fluffy guy looked like a coyote. Regardless, it seems the Penny would be envious either way. Hopefully, this coyote-fox had the decency to leave some yard toys untouched.
