When we had our first grand baby we had three dogs. None of them had ever been around a baby, and two of them kept a wide berth. Our mini schnauzer, however, did not leave his side whenever he was at the house. One of our favorite family pictures is of Lucky sleeping underneath the baby's crib. Those two were friends from the minute they met! He was friendly with my other grand babies as they arrived, but was truly bonded to the oldest until he passed...my grandson talks about "his Lucky" to this day. All of my dogs, over the years, have had "favorite people". When certain friends come to visit, they will immediately cuddle up in their laps. |
