A dog owner has left the internet in stitches after sharing a clip of his two huskies unable to agree on where to go on a walk, as he tried to mediate between them.
In a post shared on TikTok on May 1, under the username siberianderpskies, the poster explained that his two dogs, Archer and Leia, wanted to go on a walk on different sides of the hill, and neither of them was ready to give an inch.
"Here's what's happening," the on-screen captions read. "Archer wants to go this way, and Leia wants to turn right at that stop sign. Because there is a dog... Her GSD (German Shepherd Dog) girlfriend. Leia... Should I remind you... Is "Wolf Princess and Bisexual Icon."
"She likes to walk past this fence to rile up her GSD girlfriend... Who will bark at Leia, and Leia gets a big kick out of that."
Meanwhile, Archer, really wanted to go the opposite way because he saw a bunny a few days earlier going down that direction, and he thought it may still be there.
"Archer... Noted homophobe, and queer-hating bigot. Just sits right down. I know! I was just kidding, Archer! I said that for the joke," comments continue, as he turned to Leia to try and convince her to change her mind: "Leia, there might be a bunny down here! There was a couple of days ago."
It took a whole lot of convincing, but in the end, Archer decided to be a good boy and make his sister happy.
"Are you gonna go this way? Archer! Archer! You're such an ally! What a good boy! You're so progressive. I'm so proud of you," the poster can be heard telling the pup.
The hilarious post came with a caption that says: "At the end of the day, love always wins."
@siberianderpskies At the end of the day, love always wins. 🐺🥰😅 #siberianderpskies #siberianhusky #siberianhuskies #husky #huskies #dogsoftiktok #huskiesoftiktok

Huskies are known for being among the most stubborn dogs, and while some of it is down to the training provided by their owner, this characteristic is also in their DNA.
As descendants of the Siberian wolves, huskies were initially bred to survive and work in very challenging weather conditions, which meant that they had to become self-reliant and make decisions for themselves.
The website Siberian Husky Training previously explained that these canines need to be trained very diligently, but they also need to be given enough exercise and playtime, otherwise they can become very difficult to discipline.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 4.6 million views and 911,200 likes on the platform.
One user, Iris Hansen, commented: "I feel like you need a border collie to herd the huskies lol." Trianna wrote: "Isn't it amazing that huskies were bred to pull sleighs together in the same directions."
Jungbow added: "Archer went from 'noted homophobe' to 'ally' in this video. The growth and character development is [chef's kiss]."
