And I mean no matter what. The vacuum cleaner is on again? The pooch will run to protect the human baby from its horrific air-sucking hose. Taking a shower? Fear no more, your pup will bring its toy to make the dreadful experience a bit better. Scroll down to check out why everyone needs to care for their dog as much as it does for them and upvote your favorite images!

There's future bodyguard that would give his/her life for the babay.
What kind of dog is he? He looks just like a shiba inu, but his colour is similar to this of a shikoku inu. My cynologistic mind is confused.
I would say sesame shiba with darker coloring than most. Looks very similar to my shiba who also has more black in his coat than most sesames.

Lol the father is like “wtf dog what are you doing” Dog: try me b***h
It really is quite remarkable that they know who and how to welcome a new member into the pack.
My dog is like that too with my daughter! I only started letting them near each other about a month and a half ago. I know my dog and she would never do anything, but sometimes even the sweetest dogs can surprise you around babies. The baby might make a noise, or cry, and startle the dog. My daughter and dog love each other though! My dog is very protective of both of us.
When my nephew was a baby, all the indoor pets would sit and watch him and if we touched him they'd check to see if he was still okay afterward!! And you'd better watch out if he started crying!!! Even if you're 3 rooms away!!! Maybe if you hadn't been in that other room, there wouldn't be anything wrong with him!! It's hilarious to have my mom's little toy poodle come chew me out because the baby started crying. Best babysitters ever! Well, as long as you don't expect the baby to get fed or his or her diaper changed!!!
This is. The. Friggin’. Cutest. Thing! Would upvote a 1000 times! Adorable!
I think in dogs minds they know we're different, but see us as other dogs. so this one's like "new pup..not mine, but I still protect."
I saw two dogs at the beginning. Is the other one not so protective? Wonderful to see this.
Awee german shepard right? Looks like a mix between a german sheperd and a shiba
Looks small for a shepard to me, don't know about the shiba part.

Quite clearly that baby and dog are supervised together.

Actually the thing is we don't deserve animals, not just dogs. Today morning I saw one clip on YT where a Giant blue whale saved a marine scientist from a shark by pushing scientist out of water, in another story an elephant saved a villager from a tiger attack, in another YT clip I saw a cat shoulder bang a dog attacking a small child, dogs saving people from drowning, horses carrying back their hurt masters back to villages, and Many many other such stories from everywhere and of involving various animals. And what we do, kill them for game, eat them, or wear their skin, cut their horns and other heinous crimes against them. And best of all, we put them in ZOO, f*ckng pathetic. Between I am off to Tanzania Next month too see the best friends, probably will create a post here.

My entire purpose in life is to look at dogs, snuggle with dogs, love dogs, save dogs
When I had a hysterectomy, I was off work for 6 weeks, in bed for the first 2. My border collie mix, Holly, stayed next to me on the bed the entire time. When I would go into the bathroom, she followed, and stayed close. She never left my side until I returned to work.
This makes me miss my 2 boxer girls so much - (the younger one just passed away a few weeks ago). They were always there beside me when I was sick, hurt, or just sad. Although it isnt easy being snuggled and comforted by 1101b of dogs when you have a broken elbow lol. They would always leap in uncontrolled exitement when I came home from work then bring me gifts of all their favorite toys - bless them
So sorry for your loss. I don't think we ever get over losing our best friends.

Mt dog knows when I'm sad or depressed and he does exactly what I'd want any human to do; give me space and check on me periodically. He lightly pushed the door and looks at me, i say "hey, pup. Thanks for checking on me." and he nods (weird, but appreciated) and goes about his business. If I'm actually crying, he'll come boop my nose with his own nose or lick my face or hand. Sometimes he'll lay next to me, if I tell him "I'm fine" and push him away. His face is rather expressive so I can tell he can see think I'm not fine but he respects that I want to be alone and goes away. And the cycle continues. Such a good boy, though when I'm in a good mood he ignores me and barks loudly when I say he can't run away and live in the woods with the wild animals
Awww... good boy.. I can actually imagine your entire story.. I like the last paragraph. Hehe.
Load More Replies... These are all such beautiful dogs. Their devotion deserves the very best we can give of our love and care in return. All animals are amazing creatures but dogs do so much for us - we train them to help sniff out mines, drugs, people, to warn us of seizures, low blood sugar, to tackle people on the run, to guide us and help us in the home and so very much more. They deserve the title of Man's Best Friend. We don't deserve them really.
Argo, my hooligan corgi is 15 months old and perhaps too young to understand sickness, for he never acts like that when I'm sick. However, he sacrifices his own comfort even during summer and stays covered with a blanket just in order for me to hug him in the morning. Perhaps I'm wrong to judge him as a stubborn bad dog.
Argo is just very young still. My youngest dog is only one year and she's still at the 'glares at me when she doesn't get her own way' stage. My previous dog definitely new when I was sick and she was blind and partially deaf.

Whenever I lay down during daytime when i'm home, my maine c**n kitty always comes to the bed, checks first if I'm alive with her nose, only then she lays down and stays there for the rest of my nap. Animals are true friends, devoted, unconditional and always there for you. Cherish each and every moment with them.
That last few days of my fathers life, my dog wouldn't leave his side. She would kiss him and snuggle him and knew what was coming and how sick he was. After he passed, she smelled him, kissed him and came to me to comfort me!! Dog are THE BEST!
Today its not the best day...my 13 years old dog have something in his lungs...doctor dont know nothing until next week...erin you are right....im from argentina and in this country dogs are better then people in every way...we dont deserve the love and the loyalty of this animals.
All these cute and awesome dogs have cheered up my day! I've got a huge smile on my face and everything!
I wish people were more like dogs. Sex would be boring but everything else would make up for it. ;)
My dogs know when I’m sick and take up the whole bed trying to as close as possible
FELLOW PANDAS; how do we report scam posts? There is one below at the moment "Make money and change your life NOW!" Thanks in advance!
My dog Myles was put to sleep on May 17 2018. I still miss him so much. I wish we could get another dog, but Mom says no way.
My dogs have always been very close, and if you pick up one then the other has to follow right behind. One evening, just a few months after we first got them, I was carrying Teddy down the stairs with Elli following at my heels, when I lost my footing and fell flat on my bum and started crying. Teddy was sufficiently freaked out and leaped out of my arms, but Elli tentatively climbed into my lap and began licking my tears away (which of course made me cry harder, but from joy). Aside from this incident, however, those selfish little sh*ts have never gone out of their way to comfort or protect me unless they get treats and belly rubs in return. Which, granted, is not a major burden. I still love them to death.
I don't have a pic unfortunately but let me say i relate. I own 3 dogs, a cat and a crested gecko ( she even helps me). But my fur babies all boost me up. In the most amazing ways. When im hurt, depressded, anxious, nervous. They are my life line as much as i am theirs. I would be lost without them. I am disabled and I have seizures. My big dog is not trained for it but knows on instinct what to do. My 2 small dogs are trained in anxiety and travel to the store so I can get my shopping done with as few panic attacks as possible. On my worst days at home they all will just lay by me. Even my cat ( and a lot of people think cats are selfish creatures but they aren't). Animals are what you raise them to be.
.......Made me realize how long it's been since I had a doggie hug, Shoot Daughter hug (off and grown) hell male hug :( I need a dog and want a boyfriend LOL
today i discover a desease in my 13 years old dog...i dont know if i have to cry or be happy for 13 years os wonder and loyalty...dogs are better then people in every way
Dogs and humans' lives and histories are intertwined like no other animal, I think its the most beautiful thing
