A TikToker from the Netherlands was worried that her new golden retriever puppy might be scared of her 130-pound Bernese mountain dog.
Thankfully, the camera was out for their first interaction and the resulting TikTok quickly became a viral hit.

The adorable clip boasts more than 20 million views and thousands of elated comments.

Moos is no longer afraid of his little blonde buddy, with many other TikToks showing the dog duo at play. Their
