The gentle interaction turns into a beautiful exchange of trust, with the dog responding softly as the little girl giggles and continues practising her gentle touches.

Viewers quickly filled the comments with praise for both the child and her parents. One user wrote, “You’re such a caring mother to your daughter and teach her to be gentle.” Another added, “Posy is such a sweet, gentle girl with her pups. You’ve been a great teacher.” One comment perfectly captured the mood, saying, “I LOVE HER LAUGH, MAKES ME SMILE.”
German Shepherds often do well with children, earning a reputation for being loyal and protective, and forming strong family bonds. However, their size and guarding instincts make early training, socialization, and close supervision essential, especially around strangers or rough play.
