Huge German Shepherd Becomes Nanny for His Baby Brother | Cuddle Buddies

Rex, the huge but gentle German Shepherd, was the baby of the house until his human baby brother arrived. Initially, his owner didn't know what to expect from this duo, but all her doubts vanished with the first Rex's sniff. He immediately stepped into the nanny's shoes around Samuel. Now, they can't get enough of each other and share everything together, including warm naps, playtime and even treats.

Samuel got himself a best friend since day 1😊

[@krisd870]

I had a German Shepherd chow. We had him two years before our son was born. He was the same way with him. We were blessed to have Maximus for 15 years. When he passed it was hard on all of us. We were there when he took his last breath. I still miss him even though it’s been two years now. Document as much as you can. I kept a journal of him. So we have memories to read. So happy to see your babies together. It’s heartwarming.

[@inirvanax]

I feel you and sorry for your loss. We had 3 GSDs. Even though their time with us was short, we had an amazing time when they were there & miss them everyday. First one passed over 15 years ago. GSDs are just so special.

@@joannasliwa8147 hi 👋 I understand what you mean about the house feeling empty. We had a three year old female shepherd. She got so depressed not wanting to play or really eat. It took us a good six months before we could even think about bringing another dog in. We ended up getting two dogs from a shelter or female shepherd came back to life after a week or so realizing these dogs are a new addition to the family. Very excited what Paris is doing to prepare for the 2024 Olympics would love to come see the new improved Seine.

One theory how wolves became dogs is that they were helplng to hunt. The other theory is that they would protect the homes and cared for the kids.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Indeed, both theories have been proposed to explain the domestication of wolves into dogs. The hunting theory suggests that early humans formed a mutually beneficial relationship with wolves as hunting partners. On the other hand, the protection and companionship theory propose that wolves were drawn to human campsites, offering protection and receiving food in return. Over time, these interactions may have led to a gradual domestication process, where certain wolves developed traits that made them more suitable for living alongside humans. Regardless of the exact origins, it's clear that the bond between humans and dogs has evolved into a deep and enduring companionship. 🐾🐺🏡

[@Supperdude9]

@@CuddleBuddiesChannel The most basic of needs is food. Dogs and humans hunting together solved the problem for both species. Hell, one of the most basic of dog actions - licking the face of a human - is to lick for food. That's what it's based off of. Instinct. With the food problem solved comes companionship. But yeah, the absolute bottom of the need pyramid is food. I'm just thinking on the practical scale.

The best videos to watch are those in which pet meets baby or baby meets pet, and their bond starts then and there. And watching time lapse videos, seeing the baby grow and his/her bff/big furry brother or sister tightening their bond even more is so heartwarming that my eyes get watery. There is no love like a dog's love. It is absolutely unconditional. And they know babies need care, caring, looking out for, love, and a lot of what I call "lickisses".❤❤❤❤ i congratulate and admire all parents that not only allow, but also encourage this bond, and accept that dogs lick to demonstrate their love. It is their way of kissing. And I do not agree with people that say they would never let a dog lick a baby. My grandson grew up with a boxer, who was his big brother and bff. My daughter asked the pediatrician about these licks. The pediatrician was also an infectologist, and her answer was, "as long as the dog is healthy and has had his shots and is clean, there is no problem. Just wipe your baby's face afterwards and watch to see if the baby has any allergies or skin problems. If not, everything's fine. Let the dog show his love for the baby and the family his way, by licking.
