Labrador and newborn baby’s adorable bond showcased in video
The video begins with the Labrador gently nudging his owner’s baby bump, with text on the screen reading, “He always knew.” From the start, it is clear that Elvis sensed something special was about to happen, and when baby Lilly finally arrives home, the video shows him meeting her for the first time. He watches her carefully over the basket she is in and gives her a careful lick on her tiny foot. The text on the screen echoes how he was “so excited and a little nervous.”
As the video progresses, the Labrador becomes the baby’s constant companion, always staying by her side whether it’s naptime, playtime, or photo sessions — even snuggling close when she sleeps. The on-screen text notes, “And he never stopped kissing her or left her side.”
In the final shot, the caption “Today” shows a happy scene of Elvis and Lilly playing together on the floor while their owner takes care of household chores. The bond between the two is unmistakable.
Under the video, the caption echoes the dog’s voice: “Lilly my sweet baby Lilly. I love to be close and take care of her.”
Followers flooded the comments with love for the adorable duo. One user wrote, “Oh Elvis you’re the best big brother!!” while another added, “They are so precious together.” Some viewers were even emotional, with one comment saying, “Just another day of crying at a stranger’s video on the internet.” Many shared their own memories of growing up with Labradors, calling the video “good for the heart and the soul.”
The video and the comments suggest that Elvis must make up for a really good elder brother.
