Dogs and babies. Babies and dogs. They are similar in many ways. Studies have shown that dogs have the intelligence of a 2-year-old baby. If you are the proud parent of a baby and a fur baby, you know how troublesome the pair can get. However, you also live for the cute moments they spend together. The bond they have is worth envying.
Having a dog is the best thing that can happen to a kid. They learn to take care of animals from a young age. Children learn love, kindness, and humility; qualities most people lack. These help them to become better humans. It’s not roses and butterflies all the time, though. As a parent, you have to teach things to a baby and dog at the same time. The kid should know the correct and gentle way to play and cuddle the dog. The dog must know who is in charge so that it does not become aggressive.
In the end, you can trust your kids to build a connection based on love. It happens naturally, so you should not worry much. Of course, you have tried clicking as many pictures of them together. That is the most difficult job though. Firstly, because they just can’t stay still for one second. Secondly, they don’t yet know what a camera is. Fortunately for us, there are skilled photographers out there who have clicked adorable and hilarious pictures of their babies.
All those people who advise against getting a dog for your kid, you can turn a deaf ear to them. Don’t worry; it will be easier by the end of this jumbo-sized picture compilation of kids enjoying life with their loving dog pets.
