Little Dog Is Still In Charge After Doberman Grows Up

This is a two-panel comparative meme. The left panel, labeled 'how it started', features a small fluffy light-colored terrier-type dog and a tiny Doberman puppy sitting side by side on a blue and white striped doormat outside an open home doorway. The right panel, labeled 'how's it going', shows the same two dogs at a later point in time: the small dog remains the same size, while the Doberman has grown into a very large, fully grown adult that towers over the small dog, who is looking up at the larger Doberman. Below the two panels, the post caption reads 'we all know the little one is in charge', delivering a humorous, relatable punchline about smaller dogs often being the dominant member in multi-dog households despite their size disadvantage.

This meme was originally posted on the X (formerly Twitter) platform by user @rejectness, and was sourced from the X.com:WholesomeMeme RSS feed. It uses the widely popular 'how it started vs how's it going' meme format to contrast the size difference between the two dogs over time, leaning into the common pet owner observation that smaller dogs often have more dominant personalities than larger dogs they live with.
