A dachshund puppy is on a mission to prove he can hang with the big dogs—much to the amusement of his new owner.

Earl B the pint-sized pup has only been living with Renee Blevins, from Georgia, for a matter of weeks—but he's already made quite the impression on her and her other two dogs.

"I only just brought him home to live with me on July 5," Blevins told Newsweek. "I had another dachshund that lived to be 15. He passed away last year so I started over with this new puppy—and he's something else!"

Earl B is nearly 10 weeks old, but seems to be under the impression he's 10 years old given the way he carries himself around the Blevins home.

The most obvious example of this comes at dinner time, when Earl B makes a beeline for his siblings, Piper the 12-year-old pit bull mix and Belle the three-year-old chocolate Labrador.

Earl B isn't going over to socialize though, but instead has eyes only for their food—much to the visible annoyance of both his canine siblings. Blevins shares footage of Earl B's marauding antics to TikTok under the handle NayNayBlevins.

According to the dog owner, this is far from an isolated incident—with Earl B evidently seeing himself as the equal of his two, considerably larger, roommates.

"He wants to do everything the big dogs do," Blevins said. "He follows them around, he plays with their toys and tries to eat their food! He has no idea he's only three pounds!"

Piper and Belle will eventually be thankful for having Earl B's energetic legs around. Research has shown canines benefit from companionship of the four-legged variety.

A study published in the journal Evolution, Medicine & Public Health last year saw researchers conduct a survey involving over 21,000 dogs and their owners. It looked at how environmental factors such as income, age and residential setting impacted their dog's health.

They found that canines living with another companion animal were "significantly healthier than dogs with fewer household companions."

Even if Piper and Belle aren't enjoying Earl B's input all that much at dinner time right now, Blevins is not overly concerned. "My big dogs have spent their whole lives around a dachshund, they know how it is," she said.

In fact, she wonders if they might be "a little scared" of the house's new puppy resident. "I think because he's so small yet so full of energy they aren't quite sure what to make of him," she said.

Even she's a little surprised at how confident her tiny dachshund is around canines more than twice his size. "He's too comfortable with the big dogs in my opinion," she said.

Then again, it's part of a wider pattern of fearlessness on the part of her young pup. "He isn't scared of anything! He tries to go up and down stairs and jump off the bed and couch, a little daredevil," she said. "I've had a dachshund before, that's just how they think of themselves, as the top dog!"

She's is happy to report that Belle is coming around to Earl B and has even started playing with him, with the young dachshund's "big dog complex" certainly keeping things entertaining.
