There are a lot of reasons to get aCavalier King Charles Spaniel. According to one social media user, there are 1,000 reasons Cavaliers are the king of all pups—number 1,000 being how sweet and patient her Cavalier King Charles is with her little baby girl.
In a video shared by social media user Abby to her TikTok account, Abby’s little girl is in her just-sitting-up stage of infancy. For babies, that means curious hands and a playful attitude. While some family dogs might not find a new baby a worthy playmate, Abby’s pup is patient, sweet, and curious right back. This adorable Cavalier-and-kid playdate definitely makes the case for making a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a permanent member of the family.
Commenters couldn’t agree more.
“They love babies so much,” shared one commenter. Another added, “They are the best with kids.”
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Make the Perfect Family Dog
Abby’s sweet pup certainly makes a case for hosting a permanent playdate with a Cavalier King Charles. That’s because the breed is known as an excellent family dog. Highly social and lovers of attention, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels enjoy interacting with their humans and make excellent playmates.
Cavaliers possess the gentle attentiveness of a toy breed combined with the playfulness and energy of a Spaniel, making them famously good with kids. Dogs and children should always be supervised by an adult, but Cavaliers are notably adaptable to the lifestyle of their human family.
While their big, round eyes and gorgeous silky coats make them stunning dogs, it’s the playfulness and sweet nature of Cavaliers that has families like TikTok user Abby singing their praises.
Abby’s pup patiently lets her baby pet him and gently tug at his coat, even licking the baby’s toes while they play. These two besties’ relationship is as heartwarming as it gets—though it certainly helps to have a dog and baby as adorable as these two.
