The day owners bring home their new pet is filled with nothing but excitement and joy, from everyone involved, but one dog showed how skeptical the animals might be of strangers.
Reddit user ChrisCrashOut shared on the subreddit channel r/dogpictures earlier this week how his relationship with his new pup started a bit rocky. From the moment he brought her into the car and began the drive home, she showed her skepticism.
In the picture, the tiny dog sat on his lap. She first looked up at him with big, round eyes that seemed hopeful for what this new adventure would bring. However, red flags began to rise; who was this human? Squinting her eyes, she looked into his soul, trying to get a read on what his intentions were with her.

Little did she know, his only plan was to bring her into her forever home. The owner didn't seem to mind the dog's reservations. He called it a "fair reaction" in the caption because, well, she didn't know him, realizing the potential stranger danger. Plus, she was going to an unfamiliar home.

Her hesitations continued once they arrived home, as she was greeted by unfamiliar dogs in an unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar smells. The entire day became overwhelming.
"My other two dogs were very excited to meet her, but she was tired and slept all day," he told Newsweek via Reddit.
But after a good night's rest, she knew there was nothing to worry about while being with this so-called stranger. It finally clicked for her: she was home.
"By the next day, she was already playing/bullying my other two grown dogs and felt integrated into her new family," he said.
What Do the Comments Say?
The Reddit post quickly melted viewers' hearts, bringing in 643 upvotes and 17 comments as of Friday. They fell in love with her suspicious reaction and kept calling her adorable.
"Bless her little face. I hope she settles fast and you have a peaceful night," commented one person.
Another jokingly wrote what the dog was likely thinking: "I mean, you seem nice, but we'll see what kinds of foods and such await.
A third said: "How dare you! Unacceptable!"
