Just like us humans, dogs look to their older siblings to show them the way!

A TikTokker showed folks how their puppy Willoughby looks to his older brother during their daily routine.

The puppy wagged his tail excitedly and waited until his big brother took a drink out of a water bowl before getting in on the action.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Only want water if big guy is drinking it.”
