A few books, a little girl, and a dog who refuses to be far away from her are all it takes for this clip from @itslifewithshepherds to pull people in. This sweet baby and dog video follows a little girl and her longtime companion, Lucy, as they settle in for one of their favorite activities together: reading.
Not much action actually happens, which sounds strange to say. But it works all the same. While the little girl flips pages and studies her books, the German Shepherd stays tucked beside her, never seeming too interested in being anywhere else.
Baby and dog bestie bond over reading books together
The Instagram reel starts outside in the backyard with the little girl sitting on a play mat. She is busy stacking some books in her lap. Lucy parks herself directly behind her and seems perfectly happy to stay there while the books get sorted. Anyone familiar with the breed probably won’t be surprised. Staying close to her people seems to come naturally to the dog.
On-screen text jokes that one minute you are in the womb and the next you are reading books with your bestie. A moment later, they’re indoors, sitting on the floor beside the little girl’s cot. The little girl is sitting on the floor flipping through another book. And Lucy is resting right beside her.
At one point, the German Shepherd inches closer and settles her head against the girl’s back while another page gets turned. There are no tricks or commands involved. Just a dog choosing to stay close. The video also includes an older clip from the living room, and the routine already looks pretty familiar. Simply showing that this habit started early.
The adorable video showing the baby reading with her big dog quickly pulled in over 1k likes from fans, as of the time of writing. The mom posted the clip with a funny caption saying life is wild and asking what book they should read next. The comments are filled with people talking about how much they enjoy watching the two grow up together. One fan wrote that they are truly best friends forever.
