The way Tommy looks at his human sibling doesn’t feel like just a dog watching a little one — it feels like family from the get-go. In the video shared by @tommybluestaff, the gentle Staffy tries his absolute best to get his baby sister involved in playtime — even if she’s clearly not ready yet.
When he pushes the toy her way, you can tell he’s hoping she’ll just get it somehow. You can’t watch it without smiling and imagining all the mischief they’ll get up to over the years.
Staffy keeps handing toy to baby sister in hopes of playing with her in video
It didn’t take long for people online to fall in love with how this Staffy interacted with his baby sister in an Instagram video. With over 15K likes, users can’t get enough of Tommy’s persistence and charm. There’s something universally heart-melting about watching a dog try to connect with a baby, especially when the little one is too young to understand what’s happening.
In the video, the Staffy first brings a toy right into his baby sister’s line of sight. He makes it tumble over a couple of times before nudging it gently toward her. When the little one seems confused, Tommy tries again. He stands right in front of her, carefully rolling the toy towards her as she coos.
The second she touches it — even if just for a moment — you can almost see his excitement flicker. He’s ready for the game to begin. Both look at the toy with curiosity and confusion.
However, of course, she’s still figuring out the basics of tummy time, so the grand playdate will have to wait. Tommy seems to realize this too, eventually picking the toy back up and trotting off, like he’s saying, “Okay, maybe next time.”
Viewers couldn’t help but gush over the duo, and it’s all love for the Staff and his baby sister in the video’s comments section. Fans called him the “sweetest boy” and “best big bro,” and it’s hard to disagree with these claims. With that level of patience and devotion, these two are clearly headed for a lifelong friendship full of toys, games, and a whole lot of love.
