New York (USA) - Fighting and playing, often in conjunction with each other, are simply part of life for brothers. However, this doesn't just seem to apply to humans, but also to golden retrievers ! The animal siblings Benny and Blu recently went viral online for their tussle - mainly because Benny had misjudged one thing in his plan of attack ...

Surprising your own brother with an attack out of nowhere? That seems to have been the beautiful Goldie's idea. But apparently he overestimated his own abilities a little - much to the delight of users on TikTok .

A few days ago, the owner of the two retriever brothers uploaded a video of her dogs . The clip with the telling title "Benny thinks he's an invisible super spy" has since gone viral.

In the video, which lasts just 16 seconds, Benny can be seen creeping very slowly towards Blu in the living room, full of concentration. Just before he reaches his brother's snout, he appears to be moving in slow motion.

Then suddenly he starts to attack, jumps up with his front paws and pounces on his "victim". Benny even tries to (playfully) bite Blu in the head - but he dodges away unimpressed. The attacking dog then turns away, slightly dejected.

Benny had to learn the hard way that no matter how slowly and carefully he moved, he was of course not invisible. His brother had seen him coming for a long time and had long been prepared for the attack.

Nevertheless, at least Benny was celebrated online for his failed attack. Within just a few days, the clip had already collected more than 8.5 million views! Around 1.5 million users gave the golden retriever and his brother a like.

In many comments, a joke was made at Benny's expense, with one user writing: "100 percent attack, 0 percent damage" - almost 85,000 users agreed with her and even the owners of the two Goldies left laughing emojis under the comment.
