Hearts have melted around the world, after a clip was shared of Golden Retriever Jack meeting his human sister for the first time. 

Introducing a beloved canine companion to a new member of the family can be cause for concern, with many parents unsure as to how their dog will react. 

Will they be afraid of another human in the home? Or will they feel jealous that attention is now divided?

Give it a try!

A gentle boy 

In the case of Golden Retriever Jack, any fears his owners had seem to have been unfounded. 

The clip shows the Goldie lying comfortably next to his human sister.  She carries on sleeping peacefully, seemingly undisturbed by a lick from her four-legged friend. 

Careful supervision

Now viewed 450,000 times, the scene has received thousands of comments from animal lovers around the world. 

"This is too beautiful", wrote a viewer.

But while the adorable duo's friendship is heartwarming to see, it's important to remember that even the most friendly, gentle dog may react negatively to a baby or small child. Careful supervision is always advised.

We urge Wamiz readers to always be cautious when letting a pet play with a child. No matter how sweet pets can be, they may sometimes feel uncomfortable with a child's rough play and children can’t always pick up on that. Better safe than sorry, always supervise interactions between a child and an animal!
