But this video shows that they’re also a baby’s best friend – and protector.
VIDEO: WOMAN PLACES HIDDEN CAMERA AFTER GROWING SUSPICIOUS OF PARTNER AND DOG
This cute white fluffy dog clearly doesn’t like the vacuum cleaner, but he’s more worried about protecting his ‘sister’.
As the hoover starts, he’s seen laying his head on her belly and watching his owner intently.
Obviously feeling brave, the pooch goes in for a closer look, but is told to ‘look after his sister’.
So back he goes, and rests his head on her belly again.
He waits until the vacuum stops and his owner says ‘the storm is over’ before getting up again.
Is your dog this protective of your little ones?
