There’s something special about watching a family make room for a new baby without forgetting the one who came first. That’s exactly what’s happening in a sweet video shared by @th4yorks, where a big dog, mom, and baby are all gathered in the nursery for a moment that has thousands of people smiling.
Ares, the Doberman, may have a brand-new little brother in the house, but nobody seems ready to let him forget where he stands. Judging by the way he listens to every word, the dog understands it one hundred percent.
Big dog hugs mom while she tells him he’ll always be her forever baby
The Instagram reel opens with new mom, Adina, sitting on the nursery floor beside her newborn’s bouncy chair. The text on screen explains she wants to tell her pup that she loves him just as much as the newcomer. She gently rocks the infant and asks her pup to come over for a quick cuddle.
This protective breed naturally loves to stay as close as possible to their favorite humans. So Ares wanders into the room, but he walks straight toward the infant instead. However, his mom stops him from leaning too close. She playfully explains that he cannot kiss the infant because he eats raw food.
Then she guides the massive animal directly in front of her. She carefully lifts his front paws so he can rest them comfortably on her shoulders. And then she starts talking to him as he stays perfectly still while absorbing every single word of her sweet baby-talk routine.
The mom rewards him with endless back scratches and calls him the absolute best big brother in the world. Next, she massages his shoulders and looks right into the big dog’s eyes and promises he is still his mom’s original baby. Even though he completely towers over her, his gentle demeanor is too cute. Then they wrap up the sweet session with a perfect high five.
The video picked up over 7k likes, as of the time of writing. Fellow pet parents are flooding the comment section to share their own experiences. One viewer noted that they talk to their own pet the exact same way. Another fan added that the sweet animal is a total angel.
