That is adorable! That baby has a guardian for life and a best friend!

When your fur baby meets your human baby … your heart doubles!

Meet Opie: the loving, gentle, guardian angel pupper from Kentucky who recently welcomed home his tiny human brother.

Opie then quietly keeps a close eye on his baby brother in his crib and then does some more sweet nuzzling and tail-wagging. Wrapping up this adorable meet-cute!

It’s truly love. This dog and baby duo are so swoon-worthy, and we can’t wait to watch the bond between these two siblings grow.

If you’re soon to introduce your dog to a new kiddo, remember to do your research beforehand so you can help your fur babies get accustomed to their tiny human siblings. Experts recommend scent introduction followed by a little doggy treat to create a “positive association.” So, hold on to those hospital blankets—you’ll need them for the big day!

So precious! They will have so much fun together.
