Motherly instincts can not only apply to one’s own children but can also be activated across species. This is evident in this case.
When a family brings their newborn baby home, maternal instincts kick in for the Doberman named Cookie.
Welcome to the family
Dogs can be very protective when it comes to their family, even in human families. The little ones often enjoy special protection.
As soon as the baby is in the house, Cookie is there and doesn’t leave its side. Day and night, she watches over the baby.
Whether in bed, in the car seat, or in the parents’ arms, Cookie always keeps a watchful eye on the baby, noticing every detail.
If the baby is within reach, she sniffs around to make sure the little one is doing well.
When the baby cries
Cookie knows that the parents are important to the baby. She doesn’t need to protect it from them. Instead, she helps where she can.
She hears when the baby cries. In that case, she immediately alerts the family so they can provide assistance.
The parents are touched by Cookie’s behavior. They commend Cookie when she checks on the baby or informs them when it cries.
Viewers are also touched by Cookie. For example, @rubysroom9469 writes:
“I love how gently Cookie sniffs the baby. She knows it’s precious, and that’s one of the amazing things about dogs in general. I also like how she sniffs the surroundings to make sure it’s safe and how she cries because she can’t see the baby.”
See for yourself how sweetly the Doberman interacts with the baby:
