The stark contrast in how two sausage-dog siblings reacted to a test from their owner has left viewers online in stitches.

The miniature dachshunds, Milo and Murphy, had been challenged to sit politely in front of a plate full of cheese while their owner left the room, leaving them unattended with the tasty goodies for a period of time. Their resulting behavior, which included Murphy going for the cheese while Milo stayed back and kept watch, has been viewed almost 1 million times after their owner posted their hilarious reaction to the test on TikTok on September 29.

Viewers were able to see the amusingly distinct personalities between the two canines after their owner left the room.

"Can you watch Milo and Murphy for me please? I'll be right back just make sure they don't eat the cheese," the pets' owner, who posts under @miloandmurphyweens, told viewers.

As the video unfolded, Murphy immediately dug right into the plate of cheese with an undeniable gusto, demonstrating the breed's well-documented food motivation. Meanwhile, Milo, ever the cautious one, stood back and kept a lookout for their returning owner, a vigilant sentry ensuring no rule-breaking goes unnoticed.

Murphy's swift action and Milo's hesitant stance offer a humorous snapshot into the diverse personalities even within the same breed who live together.

Dachshunds, originally bred for hunting and burrowing, are known for their animated and occasionally mischievous nature. Their strong sense of smell and love for snacks make them particularly prone to food-related antics. This attribute is humorously showcased in the clip, aligning with the anecdotal evidence that this breed will go to great lengths for a tasty morsel.

Dachshunds' food motivation is a common trait that can lead to both amusing and challenging situations. Their eagerness to get their paws on food requires owners to be vigilant about their pets' diets and food intake. However, their love of food can come in handy when being trained, as their owner can prompt them to "sit" or "roll" by tempting them with a treat.

Viewers online have voiced their delight at the hilarious clip in the comments section, with some sharing how similarly their own pets would behave if also put to the test.

"My dog would have eaten that cheese as soon as I was standing up," one viewer, @knowme_how, posted.

Another, @christinebowen480, added: "Get Milo cheese now! He earned it."

"Didn't even wait for the door to close," a third viewer, @markhag, shared.
