Babies get swaddled, spoiled, and serenaded, so why shouldn’t dogs get the same royal treatment? After all, they are family too. In Opie’s case, he clearly believes that age is just a number when it comes to receiving love and care. A recent video of the Pit Bull enjoying baby-like pampering reminds us that sometimes, it’s the pets who rule the household, and they know exactly how to get the TLC they deserve.
