It’s a common fact that having dogs while growing up can be advantageous for children. Research suggests that babies raised in homes with pet dogs are less likely to suffer from allergies and have a stronger immune system, particularly during their initial year of life.
Furthermore, when children grow up with dogs, they learn important life lessons such as treating animals with care and respect. These skills may start with small actions like being gentle and careful when interacting with dogs. Nonetheless, the most significant advantage of having a furry friend during childhood is the creation of a long-lasting bond. Just like the heartwarming video of a Golden Retriever meeting its new human sibling for the first time.
In the past year, this family has gained popularity on social media for sharing videos featuring their three Malamutes. Recently, they welcomed a new addition to their family – a baby boy named Nathan. The family, made up of a mother, father, daughter, two Malamutes, a cat named Milo, and a Golden Retriever named Buddy, is overjoyed by Nathan’s arrival. Just a month ago, there were only three humans in the family, but now they are a happy family of five.
Shane and Emma were thrilled to finally introduce their new baby boy to his human sister, Amelia, and his four-legged siblings. According to Shane’s Instagram post, one of the dogs couldn’t contain its excitement and was seen trembling with joy upon meeting the little one. The dogs immediately took a liking to the newborn and even rotated shifts to keep watch over him while he slept. However, one of the pups was particularly attached and refused to leave the baby’s side.
Buddy, the lovable golden retriever, never leaves the side of his little human brother. Even though Nathan is too young to play or talk with him, Buddy stays nearby and gets plenty of snuggles from the infant, who loves to use him as a cozy blanket. You can see Buddy’s nose resting gently on Nathan’s tiny legs in a sweet video uploaded to YouTube. It’s clear that Buddy adores his little sibling and just can’t get enough of him.
According to Shane, this particular Golden Retriever has a habit of sticking by the side of any newborn it comes across. Buddy, as he’s known, trails Nathan wherever he ventures, up to the point where it can no longer walk unassisted. It appears that dogs, in general, have an intrinsic inclination to act as soft and furry protectors.
Watching the connection that has been established between the baby and the dog is a delightful experience. It is evident that they will make an amazing duo in the years to come.
