In the adorable video, Brooke was cradling her newborn when, all of a sudden, the dog appeared at her side. Cedar looked a little concerned about the situation, so she came over to investigate. First, the pup gave Mom a quick sniff to see how she was doing. Then, she moved on to the baby. This sweet pooch stood staring at the infant for a long while, as if she wanted to see for herself that the child was well. Mom was so moved by the thoughtful pup!
“Through the cluster feeding nights and early morning wake-ups, she’s been there too, just awake and silently waiting by my side,” Brooke wrote in her caption.
This precious video has received 13 million views online! Commenters totally fell in love with this protective pooch. One person suggested that, as a female, Cedar might have some motherly instincts of her own.
“Girl dogs and babies,” they wrote. “It’s just something about them, like they want to be your child’s caretaker too.”
Another person noticed that, although the dog was clearly concerned about the newborn, Mom was the pup’s first priority.
“She checked on you, Momma, then checked on the baby,” they said. “She will love you both till the end of time.”
What a special connection this woman and her dog have!
