Cricket, a dog who isn’t a fan of vet visits, has gone viral after an unexpected encounter at the vet’s office.
Her owner, Bob Kuykendall, shared the heartwarming moment on TikTok, where Cricket met her new vet—her human sister, Maddie.
Like many dogs, Cricket gets anxious about vet visits. But this trip was different. Bob, known on TikTok as @realtorbobk, took Cricket to the vet, where she had a surprise waiting for her.

In the video, Cricket looks puzzled as she spots her human sister down the hall, not understanding why she’s there.
Cricket cautiously approached Maddie with a wagging tail but then retreated to Bob. However, once Maddie came closer, Cricket began to relax and wag her tail more enthusiastically.
“Cricket the pitty wants to be afraid of the vet, but the vet is family… and then BAM, fecal test and three injections. Dog needs therapy,” Bob humorously captioned the video.
In an interview with The Dodo, Bob shared more about Cricket’s personality and their special bond. He described Cricket as a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and exploring new places.
“She is submissive to everything! Even cats and chickens. When we trail walk, if we pass someone and they avoid her or don’t pet her, she stands and stares and whines, wondering why they didn’t pet her.
She really could be a poster dog for pits,” Bob said.
Despite her friendly nature, the vet’s office makes Cricket nervous. Bob explained that Cricket spent a lot of time at the vet as a puppy after breaking her leg, which left her with some uneasy memories.
“My daughter just became a veterinarian this year, so it was our first visit to her,” Bob told The Dodo.
“I don’t know if her perception has totally changed,” Bob added. “It’ll be an ongoing thing, but I bet she’ll look around for my daughter in the future for some comfort.”
The TikTok video of Cricket and Maddie’s reunion has received almost 100,000 likes and over 600,000 views.
Viewers couldn’t help but comment on Cricket’s mixed feelings about her sister’s new role.
One user wrote, “the betrayal 😂😂 he knows this place is not good but the human is.”
Another commented, “This is the equivalent of your mom being the school nurse when you want to get out of class.”
We hope that with her sister as her vet, Cricket will feel more at ease during future visits!
