Dogs have a reputation for being some of the most loyal and lovable animals in the world. As pets, they are great companions for humans and their families, especially for kids. Recently, the dog mom behind the @skylars.the.limitt TikTok posted a video that shows just how great their Golden Retriever, Skylar, is with her child.

“My dog decided this is her baby, too,” Skylar’s pet parent expressed in the video’s on-screen text. As you watch this Golden’s interaction with this human baby, you’ll see why.

She’s so protective of her tiny human! “Golden retrievers make the best nannies,” Skylar’s human mentioned in the video’s caption, and no one can disagree with that statement after watching this.

As the clip plays on, you see that this Golden Retriever almost acts like a concerned parent. This big sister is fretting over the baby as if this bundle were one of her very own pups. Skylar is checking the baby out, watching over this kid’s every move. Not only that, this Golden adjusts the little one’s blanket, seemingly ensuring the baby is warm and comfortable.

Who better to care for this baby than Skylar? Some commenters applauded this Golden Retriever’s natural instincts. “That is a true Golden Retriever,” stated @lesliebrown09, and @kevineberhardt69 remarked, “Goldens are the best.”

“On behalf of the dogs, it’s her baby too,” joked @golden.life.with.kiwi. But Skylar is definitely taking her big sister role seriously. This Golden Retriever makes sure she’s there for her newborn human sibling. Take a look at another precious moment with Skylar and the baby.

That’s no surprise as this family has two kids, and she’s developing special bonds with both of them. Check out this video of Skylar coming to greet her human baby brother first thing in the morning.
