25 Pets Whose Best Friend Is the Youngest Member of the Family

It is normal for some people to hesitate to bring a pet into their family when they are about to have a child as well. The uncertainty of not knowing if the pet and the baby will get along well when they’re both at home can make the scales tip more toward saying no. But the truth is that sometimes animals and children develop a friendship so strong that it can be appreciated from the moment they meet.

Bright Side believes that friendship at first sight exists, that’s why it gathered 25 pictures of pets who met the babies of the family and from the first moment decided to take care of them and love them.

1. “This is our boy Mykonos protecting his new brother Theodore. Can’t get over how much he loves him, it’s truly amazing.”

2. “Double dad duty”

3. 3-day-old gets greeted by the house guardian. They’ve barely met but they already love each other so much!

4. “Lloyd and his new sister MacKayla”

5. No matter if you have 2 or 4 legs, sometimes we all need a hug.

6. “This is the first time my brother’s Pitbull was around a baby.”

7. “Baby puppy wig”

8. “Siberian kitten sleeping with her baby :)”

9. You can tell that the dog won’t be napping like he used to before the baby came home.

10. “Snuggling baby bro”

11. “You made this baby brother for me!!!”

12. It seems that the dog still has to get used to the idea of having a new member of the family.

23. “Day 1 vs Day 14 of my brother’s dog Riley meeting her new sister, Scarlett”
