If you have ever watched new parents try to process the fact that a tiny baby is now their responsibility, then you already understand the energy happening in this viral video. Two adult English Springer Spanielsstand over their newborn puppy, who is still squeaking and crawling like a little jellybean. The puppy lets out one soft whine, and both parents freeze like they just witnessed a miracle. It’s such pure, first baby energy that the internet is losing it.
Just watch this hilarious clip, and see if it reminds you of your own first time seeing your baby!
The sweet clip was shared on TikTok by @high_five_farms, and I feel like these dogs understand exactly what it’s like to be a new parent! When my first son was born, I had the same look on my face! One person spoke for the pups and hilariously asked, “OK, so what do we do now?”

Another person added, “Pretty much the same way my husband and I looked at our newborn in the hospital and again when we brought him home. Literally, like what now?” Someone else said, “This is adorable and hilarious at the same time!”
Another person replied, “This has to be the only time where I don’t see a mother get mad at the dad for being close to the new pup.” True, moms are usually really possessive!

Is an English Springer Spaniel the Right Dog for You?
English Springer Spaniels are friendly, energetic, people-focused dogs who thrive in families that love activity and routine. This is a breed known for intelligence and loyalty, and these dogs have a natural desire to work alongside their humans. They need daily exercise and mental stimulation, which can be anything from long walks and fetch sessions to training games and scent work. Springer Spaniels are usually gentle and affectionate with children, and they tend to form strong bonds with their people. They do shed and require regular grooming, and they are happiest when they have company most of the day. If you enjoy an active lifestyle and want a pup who will stick by your side with enthusiasm, a Springer Spaniel can be a wonderful fit.
