Golden Retriever Brothers Fall In Love Instantly With New Human Baby Sister

What could possibly be cuter than one golden retriever falling in love with a new baby? Two goldens becoming utterly devoted to their home's newest — and tiniest — resident. In a YouTube video by The Dodo that's been viewed over a million times, Winston and Doug, an utterly adorable pair of dogs, meet baby Miller for the first time. Their reactions couldn't be any sweeter, as they eagerly wag their tails, sniff the new baby, and lick her head. Doug even presents Miller with his favorite toy, shaped like a donut. "Somehow they knew they needed to be gentle," owner Brennan Visser says in the voiceover.

The video shows Miller quickly growing to adore Winston and Doug, too. She giggles with delight and claps every time she sees the furry duo, and she clearly enjoys petting the dogs, cuddling with them, and feeding them bits of cereal from her highchair. In fact, the first word she ever says out loud is "dog."

"Thank you for being good parents, too. They were definitely gentle doggos, but you also made sure the environment for the introduction was just right," one viewer commented. "Such a happy baby, such happy dogs, such a wonderful family! Doing it right ❤❤❤," another said. Several commenters pointed out that children who grow up with dogs as loving and well-behaved as Winston and Doug learn to have compassion and respect for all animals.

Anyone familiar with golden retrievers probably isn't surprised to see that Winston and Doug have become so devoted to little Miller. One viewer commented on the video, "Golden Retrievers are the BEST dogs for a family with kids." Another wrote, "Perfect breed for kids, so amazingly gentle and loving ❤❤❤❤." Several people share heartwarming memories of their own beloved goldens, now passed on.

Golden retrievers are considered one of the best temperament dog breeds, getting along well with children and other household pets. They're also considered one of the most obedient dog breeds, often used as search-and-rescue dogs and to help individuals with disabilities. These big, lovable goofballs are even one of the most loving dog breeds, particularly skilled at recognizing human emotions such as sadness, which makes them excellent therapy dogs.

Visser is excited to see what the future holds for Winston, Doug, and Miller. "It's just really sweet to watch them bond," she says in the voiceover. "I'm so excited to watch them grow up together."
