Huskies and babies

I doubt the feasibility of creating a much cuter combination in this world than that of a baby and a dog. (Especially my baby and my dog!) They are two creatures of such good nature that you can’t help but smile in their individual presences. Put the two together and you just want to hug the crap out them. Watch them interact fondly with each other and your head may explode.

Our dog is an 8 year old Siberian Husky, and she’s an incredible animal and as much a part of the family as any human could ever hope to be. Since my son’s birth a few months ago, she’s only cemented that position as part of the family. She is protective and loving and slathers him with kisses to show it.

He smiles and laughs when she passes by, and reaches out to hug her face when she’s near enough. The dog sits as close to the baby as possible, always keeps an eye on him and licks him within an inch of his life as if she were preening a pup of her own. The two of them share a genuine fondness for one another and exude a Disney-like cuteness. When the boy reaches out and hugs her, as mentioned before, there is real danger of your head and heart exploding spontaneously.

I found the video below on YouTube, and I think it demonstrates a little bit of how huskies have a love for and excitement about kids.
