Baby Girl Is Being Raised By Six German Shepherds | The Dodo

@@knowwhatimeme You've never been a parent, have you? I was a teacher for kindergarten. You won't believe the amount of filth I've seen hundreds of children put in their mouths - from bird poop to dog poop to fistfuls of mud and trash straight from a garbage can. Yet 99.99% survive just fine.

A good, little human growing up normally...the world needs such families Thanks

[@SadieMccollough-mf3jl]

Long ago, I had 6 large rescue mutts, and was also a foster parent for human children. All of the dogs pitched in to help the children feel safe and comfortable. My alpha, a (maybe, sorta) lab/shepherd cross, was able to sense distress in the children's sleep, and would jump in to cuddle them. Never - not once, did any of my kids wake up with night terrors, no matter what they'd been through. I truly believe that every child should have at least one dog to help look after them, and to teach them how to look after others who are different than they are

Yup, baby girl is going to have the strongest immune system ever, zero allergies and be the best animal caretaker ever! Good Job Mum! Edit - I spent the first 3 years of my life on a farm, running around half naked after the goats, cows, dogs, cats and chickens. My parents and grand parents told me I was the happiest when covered in dirt and my best friend was a rooster called cuckahoo....to this day I barely get sick and still love animals!

[@JoAnnMeunier]

Best immune system? She's drinking gross muddy water that the dogs play in. She'll be lucky is she doesn't get intestinal worms.

[@BrassLock]

PLOT ALERT: There's treatment for intestinal worms in the New Milennium. I'm surprised you haven't come across that fact in your study of dog/child interactions.

[@MysticKitten444]

@@JoAnnMeuniercalm down JoAnn there’s medicine should that happen. Better than being trapped in an over sanitised playroom not allowing a developing immune system to learn and get stronger. Do your research. Edit- from John Hopkins…. We’ve also noticed that people who live on farms have fewer of these diseases because they’re exposed to-for lack of a better term-the fecal material of animals. And what we have found is that it’s due to these commensal bacteria. That is one of the components that help us keep a healthy immune system. Most of us will probably not adopt farm life. But we can have a pet, we can have a dog.

Oh boy! I know the internet was on high alert when they saw this baby girl drinking dirty, muddy water, outside with no shoes on, AND walking on rocks. I am sure the growing list of things that show this little girl being anything other than clean and perfect was sending a lot of suburban moms into a tizzy. I absolutely LOVE little River's mom's approach to parenting! The pets are a healthy part of the family. Her baby girl is learning valuable lessons about responsibility, love, and compassion by having six German Shepherd brothers. Also, a little dirt and dog food never hurt nobody as long as mom is nearby and watching. ❤

That is one of the best protected babies on this planet and will never be lonely around the best friends a human could have. Not only that but her immune system will be healthier than that of 90 % of 1st world civilisation considering how she drinks muddy water and is in constant contact with those lovely mutts. But the best thing is that she is learning compassion as second nature and will be an absolute natural around more animals than just dogs. This is the best way to go Bravo !

[@emmaa1803]

Omg that's best video I've seen, I have always had gsd and staffys and I now have a Frenchie added to my pack and my kids were raised with my dogs and now my grandson, German shepherds are and will always be the best to bring up with children, I trusted my dogs over the years 100% with kids all my dogs have been great, from minute there puppies you have to socialise them with kids so they both learn about boundaries etc teaching kids how to care for animals from as young is so good for teaching our kids about empathy, joy and so much more....

This story reminds me so much of my granddaughter 🫶🏼 Although not raised around a herd of German Shepherds lol, she is growing up with her big sister Nala, a pitbull. Their bond is incredible, and yes, her health is amazing due to her strong immune system being raised in her home with Nala. They both influence each other’s behaviors as Nala thinks she’s human and my g-daughter thinks she’s a dog half of the time. There is so so much emotional and physical growth to be had when lil humans are raised with animal siblings. It is so beautiful to watch 🫶🏼🥲🥹
