Dogs Meet Their Owner’s Baby For The First Time And It’s Absolutely Adorable
Bringing a new baby home to meet your dog for the first time can be a stressful situation. You want the dog to be exposed to the child and vice-versa, so the two can cohabit the home peacefully. The chances that the dog will respond positively to the little one are pretty good, but their reactions can be priceless. So, without further ado, these are some of the best pictures taken of dogs meeting the new baby for the first time.
Does It Do Anything?
This dog looks completely confused with what he has been presented with. The dog is clearly not angry, but it looks like it's thinking "are you kidding me right now?" Sure, at this age, a baby can't do much for the dog.
However, we're sure that the dog will start to come around in a few years when that baby is sneaking them food under the table or rubbing its belly when everyone else is busy. Keep your chin up buddy, everything will be alright.
I Could Get Used To This
This pudgy little doggo doesn't seem to mind having these two little ones around at all. Looks like they've given him an excuse to lounge around even more than he had before these twins were born. We desperately hope that this wasn't just a one time thing and that it's a regular occurrence, because it's just too cute.
Luckily for this dog, he can look forward to many more naps to come in the upcoming years. We wonder how those babies are sleeping because we know that dog is surely snoring!
What Is It?
These two Harlequin Great Danes look completely baffled at the crying baby in front of them. There's nothing they can do except stare at it and hope that it stops crying. We're sure that these dogs do this often, just to check up on the baby and see if anything has changed or just to make sure that it's still there.
They'll only have to wait a fe years until the baby is old enough to play with them without being knocked over. Be patient pups!
Don't Want To Wake It Up
While this baby sleeps peacefully, the dog is fully alert, trying with all of its might to not move or even breathe too hard, for fear of waking up the baby. Although this dog could have decided sit anywhere in the house, it still chose to be next to the baby, even though it has to be careful to not wake it up.
That shows that this dog loves the baby and is willing to sacrifice its own comfort just to be around it.
Nap Buddies
Nap time with the new baby doesn't look too bad for this little dog. Being around the same size, they can snuggle up together without the fear of the baby being crushed under the dog's weight.
It looks like the dog is making the best of the entire situation and using this baby's little body as a pillow of sorts. While the dog will be able to do this for the rest of its life, it won't be too long before this baby grows up and won't be able to cuddle up so easily.
It's Kind Of Cute I Guess
This dog is seeing the new baby for its first time and it seems pretty enamored by the infant. While the dog does look curious, there's also love in those eyes. We're sure that this dog spent some time just staring at the baby, maybe trying to figure out what it is while also trying not to disturb its sleep.
We wonder if the dog is a female because it also looks like it's trying to withhold some motherly instincts that it may have.
Step Away From The Baby
This dog became the house's new security guard when this baby came home for the first time. While the baby is slowly falling asleep, this dog is now on duty watching over the baby to make sure that nothing bad happens to it.
Even if that was my child, I might hesitate for a second before taking it away from this dog, because this good boy looks like it means business. We hope that the baby is comfortable next to it because it looks like they're going to be sharing a bed for the foreseeable future.
Perfect Fit
This looks like a match made in heaven for this dog and baby. We're sure that this has been this dog's napping place long before this baby was even an idea, so it's doubtful that it would give it up so easily.
The solution? Just lay the baby next to the dog so they can both sleep peacefully together. It looks like it's all working out too because the dog doesn't have to give up any space and the baby is sleeping soundly.
This Human Tastes Good
While usually it's the baby that sleeps on the dog, it looks like the tables have turned for these two. We would usually expect the dog to choose a different part of the body to rest their head on, but not this pupper.
He chose the baby's head and face. Whatever floats your boat, doggo. The dog must be very gentle, because this baby is fast asleep and we all know what light sleepers some babies can be.
Help Me
This dog looks in need of some assurance that everything is going to be okay. It's probably never even seen a baby before and now there's one laying right next to him. Babies look strange enough already, so we can't even imagine what's going through this dog's head.
Luckily, it didn't mistake it for a chew toy, so now it's just beside itself. On the bright side, this dog is bigger than something living for the first time in its life. And just look at the baby's onesie with the dog pictured!
All Smiles
The baby in this picture is actually smiling at its new best friend. That's a face of pure joy, and the dog seems to be loving every minute of it. It also looks like the dog found the perfect place to rest its head when it's in need of a nap.
That works out for both parties, because chances are that baby is going to be sleeping quite a bit for the next few years.
But How?
We're not sure how these two got into this position, but we're not complaining. That has to be one of the cutest things we've ever seen. Not only are they sleeping together, but the dog is literally holding the baby, making sure that she's safe and comfortable.
If that isn't a loyal dog we don't know is. The mother must be happy because the dog is taking over her job for the time being. Somebody make sure this doggo gets some extra treats when this baby wakes up.
Hello Little One
There's no denying that humans and dogs have some kind of magical connection. If you think otherwise, all you have to do is look at this picture and you'll be a believer. If anything else touched a baby's face with its wet nose, chances are the baby would wake up crying.
But not this baby, it looks relaxed if anything. You can also see in the dog's eyes how gentle it's trying to be, something that you don't really train a dog how to do.
Whoooahhhh
The look on this dog's face is probably what a human would look like if they ever saw an alien. This dog is looking at an unidentified species in their eyes and its right in front of their face. It kind of looks like its owner except for a lot smaller and needs to be carried around.
We're sure it probably doesn't smell that great either, which is making the dog all that more curious. Baby, meet dog, dog, meet the baby.
A Puppy And A Baby
These two little ones are just too cute next to each other. They'll get to explore the world together because we're pretty sure that both of them are too young to have any idea what's going on right now.
If you thought that raising a puppy is a lot of work, come back when you have to raise a puppy and a baby at the same time. These poor parents are going to be getting negative hours of sleep for the next few months. Best of luck!
I'm Not Sure What This Is But I Like It
Clearly, this dog still isn't entirely sure what this new baby is that's living in the house, but it doesn't seem to mind all that much. Anything that it can rest its head on without it moving is alright in their book.
By the looks of it, this baby isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so everyone's happy. That baby is about the size of that dog's head, so it's nice to see how gentle this yellow lab is being with the newborn.
Surrounded By Pups
This lucky baby is surrounded by two of his furry family members and they all look as comfortable as could be. While the yellow dog in the back is completely asleep the dog closest to the baby looks like it's inspecting the infant and thinking about how much it loves it.
In a few years, the three of them will be able to run around in the backyard together. But for now, they're going to have to be content sleeping on the floor.
This Is My Baby Now
It appears that as soon as this dog met this infant, it decided that it was theirs to take care of. While this baby is probably nice and warm under this dog, the dog's eyes are telling everyone to slowly walk away from their new favorite person.
This baby should be glad that it has such a cute and loyal protector. Not everyone gets this kind of treatment from their own dogs. I mean, look at those eyes.
Why Is It Moving?
Both the baby and the dog in this photo appear to be awestruck by the situation that they're both in. While the baby may just be confused by the entire world around them, the dog is stupefied by the presence of such a small human.
Over time, the baby will get used to its surroundings just like the dog will get used to the baby. It won't be long before this little girl is taking pictures of the dog as it sleeps.
Strike A Pose
This little guy looks like he has found a brand new friend to give kisses to! He already likes the baby and you can tell by the way they're matching poses. It's not like the parents told their kid to pose and he listened.
If only the baby could stay this size his whole life, we're sure the mother would love that. But as he grows up, he'll love the dog as much the dog loves him.
I Don't Know What This Is But I Love It
It appears that this dog didn't need very much time to readjust before deciding that it likes having the baby around. This picture proves that dogs understand things better than we may think, and that they can also sense things that we can't.
This dog probably sensed that this was its owner's baby, and since it loves them, it's going to love their baby as well. This picture is so adorable and we hope that the family keeps it somewhere where people can see it in their home.
Protect At All Costs
This dog made up her mind after meeting this precious baby. She knew that this child was too adorable to be left alone, no matter how short. He just became the best guard dog this family could have asked for.
Now the parents can walk around the house a little easier knowing that their faithful dog will be there if anything comes up. The both of them look as precious as they come. This is a wonderful sight to see.
Candid Shot
This baby is probably wondering why on earth they are taking pictures. This dog doesn't even want to take the photo. She looks more concerned with playing or protecting the new born. As she should, because this child is now apart of the family that he loves.
When this child grows up, we're sure looking at this picture will summon a smile. The smile may be gone now, but just give it a few more weeks.
Portrait Time!
Wait a minute, here are the tissues for your tears. This is priceless. She is all smiles as she grabs on to the collar of her new doggo mate. We don't know what the dog is looking at, but it doesn't matter.
They both just happy to be out there in that grass field. This family has to hang up this picture in their house with a majestic frame. If not, that would be a total waste of this masterpiece.
It's Time For Bed!
Have you ever seen a more innocent scene? We think not. A puppy and a new born resting together can bring world peace. They should replace this image with one of the presidents on currency.
Just looking at this should warm your heart. If not that, at least bring a smile to your face. We wonder what they're dreaming about? Does the puppy give the baby little licks on the face when they're awake and roaming around?
The Two New Best Friends
Can you honestly sit there and tell us what's more satisfying than little dogs playing with babies? We'll wait. Exactly, there is nothing quite like it. Two of the softest beings on the planet colliding is a recipe for happiness.
If you've made it this far down the list, we already know how you're feeling. Your heart is filled with joy and these smiling babies and dogs are just what you needed to get you through the day. You're welcome.
Hey, Who's That?
This baby is all smiles and this dog, well, he's a bit surprised. The child must have taken this dog's original resting spot! And since the dog knows he can't do anything about so that's why he has such a shocked look on his face.
Meanwhile, the new baby in town is having a blast! Not only is there a dog in his lap, but he also has the most comfortable spot in the house!
Nice To Meet You Little One
These two have finally met and in the most adorable way ever. The little girl came fully equipped with a flower headband and a white top. While the dog is paying complete and close attention waiting to see what will happen next.
There's no telling what might take place, but we're willing to bet it is nothing but love that will be shared between these two. They're practically the same size and have the same amount of cuteness.
Just Me And My Pal
Pugs are interesting dogs. They may not be the cutest or anything, but people sure do love them a whole bunch. What people love more, however, are babies. This tag-team of cuteness is almost too much to handle.
The baby almost looks like he's holding on to the doggo before falling out of the baby seat. The pug took up too much room while trying to cuddle with the new born. That's okay, they'll soon learn how to operate together.
Aesthetically Pleasing
A sleeping baby is a peaceful baby. Two dogs the size of a baby is wonderful thing as well just because. We don't make the rules on these things, some stuff is just unwritten law. So when you put the two together, the outcome is pure bliss.
You can rub the dogs tummies while singing a lullaby to your child. You can take great photos like this and upload them to your Facebook (parents only).
Big Kisses!
Here, take this kiss and cherish it forever. And if you ever need another one, just know you will always be able to have as much as you want. We're guessing the puppy said something along those lines.
These two go together perfectly. They will grow up and learn to love one another together as well. It's always fun when you have a child and get a new puppy at the same time. Watching them grow is the best part.
Professional Introduction
This family figured that the best way to introduce these two would be by having a professional photoshoot. Nothing wrong with that! There should be more shoots like this done and advertised to the world. The more people see these happy images, the more they will be happy individuals.
The baby looks like this is everything she ever wanted in life with that precious smile. Dogs and babies are the key to happiness, everyone. In case you didn't know.
Here's A Kiss, Nice To Meet You!
Humans like to shake hands when they meet for the first time. In some cultures, it was polite to give a kiss on the cheek as well. This puppy must be from one of those cultures. Okay, we're embellishing a little but, still.
The little boy has his eyes closed and he's taking the big smooch in stride. The owner had to make sure to restrain the pup a little bit in case he got a little carry away and gave the baby too many kisses.
What's Better Than Nap Time
What's better than nap time you ask? Well, a dog and a baby taking nap time together are better, that's what. This dog met this baby for the first time and the dog just couldn't leave her side after that moment.
Taking naps together is going to be an everyday thing moving forward now. These pictures will only get better and better as time goes by. Next, they'll probably be together in the bed resting peacefully.
Welcome To The Fam, Kid
Okay, is it just us, or does this dog know that he isn't the cutest thing in the family anymore? The look on his face says it all. He's worried he won't be getting as many belly rubs that he used to get.
We can understand the fear, but he has to understand, there's a new sheriff in town. Just like when Buzz Lightyear came into the picture, Woody had to take a slight hit in his playing time.
Best Buds Forever
It was picture day for these two and they did not disappoint. The slight coddle the dog provided the baby was just enough to make the little one smile! The dog is giving off so much positive energy the baby can feel it.
The baby just gained a new protector for however long this dog is alive. We wish dogs could stay around for longer but this image will always be embedded in the families mind.
He's Sleep, I Can't
This dog is madly in love with the new family member. You know when you're freshly in love during a new relationship and that person is all you can think about? This is what's going on in this picture. The baby can sleep but she can't.
The baby needs way more sleep than the dog does, which is understandable, but he might become sleep deprived if he keeps this up much longer. It's all in the name of love though.
Help, I Can't Go To Sleep!
This is the complete opposite of the previous two. Now, the dog is sound asleep while the baby is pondering why he's so loved. How did he come into a world with all this beauty surrounding him? It's a wonderful feeling.
Its something that will keep you up when you're supposed to be sleep. The power of positive energy from those who love you is just like magic. And these two together is the ultimate magic.
Hey, What's This On Me?
It looks like this dog is getting a little to comfortable with his new human. Just wait until he watches the baby grow up. He'll be in his lap all day and night if he's already started to do it.
The baby is just here for the ride. Smiling at the camera wondering why a fury creature is licking his fingers. The owner looks like hes ready to finally pull the dog off if you look in the background.
More Naps, Please
Nap time with dogs as an adult is a great feeling. Its like sleeping with the best gift ever. The dog will give you kisses, wag it's tail to show that she's happy and enjoying your company and provide warmth.
For babies, they get all that, plus more from their parents. This baby is paradise and it's not up for debate. What more could you possible ask for? Oh yeah, a changed diaper and more food.
Looking Cute While On The Path To Destruction...
But as much as we love puppies, we have to admit that they have a tendency to do some really goofy things sometimes, just like we do. The good, the bad, the hilarious- we find joy in all the things that our dogs do every day of the year. Behold: some of the funniest puppy fails you've ever seen.
You probably didn't even know that puppies could get into this kind of trouble.
It's Not Our Fault
Speaking of messes, look at these two guys. "Don't be mad at us, we were just doing some dumb, bumbling puppy-style jumping around and neglected to notice our surroundings. Hey, it’s possible that we even intentionally knocked your plant over, just because we are very curious at this age. Really it’s not our fault."
"You should have hidden that plant from us if you didn’t want it knocked over. If you think about it, you pretty much asked for this. I mean, who gets TWO puppies and gets upset when we do something stupid on purpose. In fact, you should apologize to us. We will take our treats in the living room, thanks."
Busted
Puppies will chew. It's one of the top traits for which they are known. Most people hate it when their puppy chews up a prized possession. This might look like a puppy fail, but in reality this little guy is a drug dog in training. He successfully located the stash but unfortunately ate it in the process.
I’m not sure what effect psychedelic mushrooms will have on an animal this size, but we can be sure that it will get weird. This is only the beginning for this brave little mutt. Just be sure to play something mellow and give lots of hugs.
Selfish
Isn't that cute, this pup fell asleep in their dish... probably after overindulging in the sumptuous feast their owners prepared to nourish this baby’s growing body. Ever consider that someone else might want some of this food, without them having to think about your genitals dragging all over it? And what about the old classic piece of buffet wisdom: "Take all you want, but please eat all you take."
Clearly, this one-percenter has never thought of anyone other than numero uno. Well, it takes all types to make the world go around, and you can look forward to this cute little canine starting world war III one day. PUPPY FAIL.
The Eternal Struggle
And people wonder why cartoon dogs are always chasing cats… Here is the answer to the mystery of why dogs and cats often have so much drama. It's because cats are evil instigators, constantly jockeying for top position in the household. While this little shepherd pup will one day learn to politely ask to go outside to use the bathroom, this cat will insist on doing their business in a box in the kitchen.
The frustration is apparent in this young dog’s surprised expression. He was minding his own business when out of nowhere, he was maliciously attacked by this mean-spirited feline. Or at least that is what his expression will indicate when you come home to see the entire apartment torn apart. "It was the cat’s fault."
Sabotage
Did you ever have one of those co-workers who was always trying to sabotage that special project for the boss you were working overtime on? Of course you can't report them to human resources because then you would get into trouble for drawing attention to their lack of bladder control.
That’s not what is going on here, though. This puppy clearly needed to go to the bathroom and her owner was busy waiting for this laptop from the early '90s to boot up. In this case, our furry friend should be hailed as a hero for forcing her owner into modern computing.
Back Yard Shenanigans
You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out. I don't care if you thought it was a good idea to dig out from beneath the fence -- the fence that we built at no small expense for your protection, and then crawl up into the green privacy lining that blocks the view of Arby’s from our back yard. I guess the food we provide is just not good enough.
Well fine. We will part ways here, and I wish you luck in your future endeavors. You certainly seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I just hope the people you hook up with in the future can provide a better life for you, Your Majesty.
Mud Whisperer
You can bet that this happened within the last minute of an hour-long hike, just before they were about to load up and drive home. This adolescent Golden Retriever looks a little too old to be pulling a stunt like this. I've never seen an episode of The Dog Whisperer, but from what I’ve heard, Cesar would probably recommend a training technique that involves tricking the dog into believing that he is being left behind. Say something like, "well I guess that’s it then, you stay here and live off the land, we are going back home where the people who live there don’t roll in mud and expect others to clean up after them," and then hop in the car and drive off.
Of course, you loop around and pick up your best bud, but the message will be clear: “cleanliness is next to godliness, you doofus.”
Young Diva
How can this beautiful young dog's little mistake be considered a fail? Sure, there may have been some lapse in judgment here, but who doesn’t want to feel pretty some days? How is any well-rounded puppy supposed to watch their owner get dolled up night after night and stay out late at the club, just to bring home some boozy smelling crew that sits around laughing at you because your feet are still a little big for your body, and not want to try out a little make-up?
Oh wait, that’s pink food coloring from the frosting on a child’s birthday cake? PUPPY FAIL.
Roomba
Poor little guy. There's nothing more hilarious than when a helpless pup is being terrorized by an anal-retentive robot. Except when the lazy owners stand by cackling and taking pictures. "Look at him, he’s so scared, haw, haw, haw! I’m gonna post a video on Facebook so that all of my high school friends can see what good parents we are!"
With any luck, once this puppy is a little older, the owners will come home to find their expensive Roomba mysteriously chewed to shreds. Imagine the likes that slideshow is bound to get! Then they will have an excuse to photograph this poor creature with one of those dumb “shame signs” around his neck. “I chewed up my parents expensive Roomba for no reason at all. Now I’m an outside dog.” Do us all a favor and promise to never have children, thanks.
Sit!
Sibling rivalry exists in the canine world, too. This looks like a classic example of dominance play where a young pup learns to assert their place in the pack. But in reality, this is just what the bottom puppy is "into." You should hear the yips of protest the instant the other pup stops sitting on their head. Aside from determining pack rank, puppies are also known to be very selfish when it comes to other's needs.
How many times have you been around a puppy that offered to lend a hand around the house? And if a puppy has ever helped anyone other than themselves, it was purely accidental. PUPPY FAIL.
The Pact
They say that good fences make good neighbors. This fence is a little too short to qualify as "good," much like this creepy neighbor who insists on trampling all over your lawn. His face seems to say “what did I do wrong... I'm just a puppy,” but don’t believe it for a second. This could be one of those tiny dogs that never gets big.
For all you know he could be 50 years old. Did you ever see that movie The Pact? Imagine that this is the evil Charles Barlow, slinking around your house, eating your peanut butter when you aren’t looking. Yikes!
Training
People like to say that they train their dogs. If you're not paying attention, your dog can sometimes train you. This pup has trained their owner to eat whatever is to be found beneath the bathroom sink. It’s not highly nutritious, but it clearly will run straight through your digestive tract. And at a high rate of speed, as indicated by the fact that everything didn’t quite make it into the toilet.
The motivation for this clever pup to train their people in this way is unclear, but one thing for is for sure, if you stare into those eyes for long enough, eating an entire jar of Vaseline will start to sound like a good idea.
Hide and Seek
This lovable doofus and its equally cute sibling have turned dinner time into a game of hide and seek. Six weeks ago this might have been a good hiding place for a little pup, but no one is fooled this time around. Or perhaps this is a way to prevent mealtime head injuries. Better safe than sorry!
Either way, playtime for these adorable little guys is always a learning experience. Exploring their environment is just the next stage in their natural development into full-grown, well-mannered adults. One day one of these guys could work with a special-needs human, U.S. Customs, or even the president, Donald J. Trump himself!
No, It Doesn't Hurt
Um, we're sure it does. This unfortunate pup just happened to be gnawing on some grass (as playful and nibbly pups tend to do), but in the process he somehow got a bee in his mouth! The result? A bee's revenge to make your snout look kind of awkward. We feel bad for you pup, we really do, but you should have known better.
He knows he messed up, but is obviously too proud to admit it. Maybe he's thinking, "So what if I ate a bee? I ain't scared. I had to show the bee who's boss. That pesky bee was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
One Of Us
While cats and dogs are known to not get along, this is an example of quite the opposite. Despite how uncomfortable she looks, it appears that this young pupper has infiltrated the feline clowder that was starting to take over the house. She has earned their trust and is now considered one of their own.
Let's hope that she doesn't get too caught up in their lives and actually starts to act like one of them. Because one thing worse than a cat with an attitude is a dog that has a cat-like attitude. Seriously, they're the worst.
You Only Did This To Yourself
Well, well, well, look what we have here. The look on this dog's face says Help! Get me out of this mess! Well, we hate to break it to you dog, but you only did this to yourself. All we did was buy you a nice, new fluffy bed for you to have a more comfortable sleep, yet you couldn't resist the urge to just chew it all up. AND in your cage.
Now you're trapped in a sea of fluff and you don't know what to do about it. Well, we know what we're doing: snapping a photo at your expense so you can learn your lesson.
When I Grow Up
This young puppy wants to become a police dog and can't wait for the day that he can enter the police academy and get all the training he needs. But he is a little bit ahead of himself. Sorry little puppy, but you're just not quite old enough to enter the force yet.
Yes, we know you've been practicing by chasing butterflies and sniffing all over the backyard for hours on end. But being a police dog is more hard work than you think and we don't want you to lose your innocence just yet. Wait a couple more years and then you'll get there.
The Only Way Out Is Through
This dog looks so smug after doing what he did. Look at this mess. He's not even sorry. If he could talk, he'd probably say something along the lines of "well, you were gone all day and you locked me inside the house. I'm an outside dog and I live for the outdoors! I looked out the window and so so many things to chase."
"But after the mailman came and delivered your mail, I lost it. I had to get outside. And besides, I can't tell time, but I didn't think you'd be home for about another bajillion hours. So you can't blame me for this."
I'm Just Trying To Fit In
This chihuahua looks so pleased to be stuffed into a cart full of fluffy husky-looking dogs. He's probably thinking, Why did you put me in this situation? I am not pleased. The poor pup probably has social anxiety and is overwhelmed by the other puppies' excitability. The only thing he can do at this point is to try to fit in with the rest of them.
But you can bet that he's counting down the moments until he can run free and be away from their overactive energy. He's probably also like, Why did I have to come to the grocery store with you, anyway? You never get anything I like.
