Pets love their toys. This goes doubly so for a dog and his favorite ball. So, when another animal gets a hold of it jealousy is the most likely outcome. Poor Lupe Johnson, a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, faced this reality when she left her favorite ball outside. Fortunately, for us, her owner was able to capture her adorable reaction on camera.

Lupe is beaten to her favorite toy by someone else

Known as a Chiweenie, Lupe loves her toys and likes to play with them in the yard. So, when her owner let her outside to fetch her favorite ball, she was surprised to see that someone else had beaten her to the punch. A fox had found its way into the neighborhood and was outside playing with Lupe’s ball. Suffice it to say that Lupe was not pleased.

Lupe is none too pleased and lets the fox know it

She voiced her displeasure at the sly fox from the safety of the window as it continues to throw her favorite toy around. In the video, you can hear Lupe’s growls and cute, little bark. You can see the fox’s ears perk up, but it continues to play with the ball as if it is the most natural thing in the world.

The fox ignores Lupe, or does he, and continues to play with her toy

It makes you wonder if the fox was oblivious to little Lupe’s plight or if it was somehow trying to rub it in. Either way, you can see the fox happily jumping around and throwing the ball into the air, despite Lupe’s barks and death stare. It’s almost as if the fox is daring Lupe to do something about it.

At heart, the fox seems to be just like a dog when it comes to playing with toys

For its part, the fox looks like it is having a grand time and is relishing the opportunity to play with Lupe’s toy. The fox’s behavior is eerily similar to that of a domesticated animal even though it is obviously wild. Fortunately, for us, Lupe’s owner was able to capture the whole interaction on film and shared it online.

The video of Lupe’s encounter goes viral

The video has since gone viral, getting over 6 million views, 120,000 likes, and over 40,000 shares. Depending on whom you asked, commenters on the video were about evenly split on whether they were on Lupe’s or the fox’s side.

To many, the fox was just exhibiting its natural behavior when it came to flaunting Lupe. Plus, the opportunity to see such a beautiful animal having fun, like a regular dog, was worth a little displeasure on Lupe’s part.

I would be upset too if someone played with my toys

You almost feel sorry for Lupe, but can rest assured that the fox will soon forget about the toy and leave. Now, whether Lupe will still want it since the fox has been playing with it is another matter entirely. Regardless, we are left with an adorable video. Here is the adorable video of Lupe’s reaction to the fox playing with her ball.
