When I brought her home, he KNEW her. He protected her to the day we had to send him to the rainbow bridge when he was 10.

I don't know if it was a fluke or what, but maybe if Walker has the opportunity to "spend time" with the baby before s/he's born, maybe it will make it easier?

Thank you so much for that post. Not gonna lie...teared up a little bit. It makes sense though to expose the dog to the baby and they're smart little buggers, they'll know that the little crying bundle of joy is the same bundle of joy they would listen to in the womb. Thank you!
