When it comes to dogs and their human babies, few interactions are more heartwarming than a pup patiently enduring his human baby’s version of affection. Despite the best of intentions, human babies don’t always play with or dote on their dogs in the way a pup might prefer. A social media video crossed our feed today completely encapsulating this dynamic, yet the playful pup remains cool, calm, and completely loving all the attention.
Here’s what happened.
In the social media video, a toddler girl can be seen adorably doting on her dog. Over and over, the little girl kisses the dog with full-mouth smooches that might make some dogs run and hide. Bulldogs may not know how to interpret human kisses, but they are generally patient and calm when showered with affection. This pup shows remarkable tolerance with his ponytail-clad human sister, a reminder of how deeply dogs become part of the family, especially alongside their human baby siblings.

A Bulldog’s Patient Reaction to Toddler Affection
As the little girl smothers her pup in affection, the canine keeps his cool, reacting only by licking his lips repeatedly, his way of kissing back or signaling mild stress. Either way, this sweet dog is incredibly kind to let the little girl smooch him again and again.
Viewers on social media were quick to compliment the dog’s gentle demeanor.
One commented, “His body language says he’s loving every minute of this!”
Another added, “And then she kept kissing his cute mushy face.”
“Absolutely precious,” added another.
“Two smushy lil babies,” gushed one more.
If you’re wondering whether this Bulldog actually enjoys all the affection, he probably does. Judging by the tail wags and his posture leaning into the little girl, both telltale signs of a happy dog, this pup seems quite content.
With this much attention and affection coming his way, it’s safe to say this dog is well loved. And judging by his sweet reactions in return, it’s just as safe to assume he’s loving her right back.
