They say it takes a village to raise a child, and apparently, that village sometimes includes a few furry helpers too.
Having a baby is a big change for the whole family, including the pets. Some cats and dogs seem to take their new roles very seriously, staying close to the little ones and finding the funniest ways to be part of their lives.
A recent post on Threads sparked a discussion filled with adorable photos shared by parents showing their newborns with their furry companions, from cats acting as pillows to dogs keeping a close eye on their tiny humans. Scroll down to check out these sweet moments!

Postpartum made me certain that my protective, loving German shepherd was going to eat my twins. Instead she became the second mother to the girls, sleep deprived as much as I was.
One time I was doing tummy time with the smaller of the twins and she was struggling a bit, as they do, it was probably her first time, and Sadie came over nosed her feet until her head made it to the other side, and then she proceeded to put herself (the dog) in between me and the baby.

#35 Her 1st Spoken Word Was Jackson (Our Cat’s Name)
Jackson passed not long after she turned 2 but she (now 4) has been asking if she can get the same exact cat that she could name Jackson too. I wish it works that way kiddo 🥹
