Watch: Gentle Pittie opens his mouth wide...to shower his human baby with kisses!

Indeed, the Pittie shares what looks like his own dog bed with the young child – and is loving every moment of it!

The best nanny

The baby is loving it too: smiling and laughing, he gently caresses his huge pet, completely devoid of fear! If the Pitbull ever shows his teeth, it’s just to let out a great big yawn. After all, it is naptime.

He keeps a leg over the baby, as if to shield the child from any potential danger. He also keeps a watchful eye on the horizon: intruders beware!

Only bad owners

Pitbulls sadly suffer from a bad reputation, but this short clip goes to show that training and socialisation plays a big part in the way a dog’s personality develops.

That being said, it is never recommended to leave a child alone with a dog. No matter the size, and no matter how well trained! Kids can’t pick up on warning signals like experienced dog owners can, and even the most well-behaved of dogs can get fed up at times. As a responsible dog owner, it’s your job to make sure all interactions are well supervised.
