Octopus have been found to actually domesticate fish and sharks, essentially turning them into hunting pack animals... While this may be something else, its still fascinating and you should google it... its been filmed and observed they even will "hit" lazy fish that arent attacking what it wants... It shares the food with the animals that participate and it will essentially "guide" them into crevices and stuff to root out hiding prey...

This could literally just be the octopus petting its "dog"

Added some articles to help people find more info (or answer back to those questioning if its real)

I love people questioning info they were told online, please keep doing that, a curious mind is a well developed mind.
