They say it takes a village to raise a litter \u2014 or, in this case, one very large, very gentle roommate. In a video shared by @justgunnerstunner, we see Gunner, the XL American Bully<\/a>, decide that Tokyo, the family\u2019s little Dachshund<\/a>, and her newborn babies were now his responsibility, too.<\/p>\n Before Tokyo\u2019s puppies even opened their eyes, they already had him watching over them. From keeping the Doxie company during 3 a.m. feeds to letting the tiny pups crawl all over him, this \u201cbanned breed\u201d proves he\u2019s really just a wholesome dad in disguise.<\/p>\n With over 634K likes, this video of an XL Bully with Dachshund babies got a deep, collective \u201caww\u201d on the internet \u2014 and it\u2019s really not surprising. It opens with Tokyo curled protectively around one of her puppies, cleaning and fussing over them.<\/p>\n The text reads, \u201cOur sausage dog has babies, she thought she\u2019d be doing it all alone\u2026\u201d But then the video cuts to Gunner, standing just outside her enclosure, watching over her like a quiet sentinel. He\u2019s letting her know she can always count on him to be around.<\/p>\n The next few clips show the Bully step into the role of dad and take it very seriously. He helps her \u201ckeep them clean,\u201d aware of his giant size but careful all the same. He\u2019s there during late-night feeds, lying beside Tokyo as she drifts to sleep, her newborns tucked safely next to her. The narration reads, \u201cIt\u2019s like he knew she needed him.\u201d<\/p>\n As the puppies grow, so does their fondness. One pup crawls toward Gunner\u2019s bed, curling up on the edge of his blanket. Another nestles next to his arm like it\u2019s the safest spot in the world. The clip ends with Aiko \u2014 the puppy they kept \u2014 resting against him in a patch of sunlight before they both doze off together. The emotional in-video text tells us, \u201cTo her, he isn\u2019t just a friend\u2026 He\u2019s her dad.\u201d<\/p>\n Tokyo\u2019s puppies sure have learned what love looks like, thanks to the \u201cdad who stepped up.\u201d And the comments section is just as heartwarming. One viewer wrote, \u201cNot every man was meant to be a father, but Gunner most certainly was.\u201d Another added, \u201cGunner\u2019s heart is bigger than he is.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Video: Bully Steps in as Dad to Dachshund\u2019s Newborn Babies<\/a> appeared first on DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They say it takes a village to raise a litter \u2014 or, in this case, one very large, very gentle roommate.
