A mum has shared her dog’s heartwarming reaction after she brought her baby son home – and says her household has never been the same since her little one’s arrival
An adorable dog has stolen hearts after stepping up into a parental role after the birth of his human baby brother. Golden retriever Winston has been taking his duties seriously – and even keeps his owners Roissy and Alexander Koeneke in check.
The 29-year-old mum, from San Diego, California, has taken to social media to share a clip of her one-year-old dog in action, sharing how he keeps an eye on her baby. In a clip, Winston is seen standing staring at his owner from the hallway prompting her to follow him to the baby’s bedroom.
He refuses to move a muscle until she stands up and makes her way over. Following this, the pooch is seen checking on the three-month-old, making sure he’s happy, healthy and all of his needs have been tended to.
In her TikTok caption, Riossy, who is known as @windston.goldenpup online, wrote: “We need a nanny when you have a golden”.
Alongside this, she wrote in the video: “My dog will keep staring at my husband and I until either of us checks on our baby. And he will follow to make sure we actually stop making him cry.”
Speaking to Newsweekshe said: “He has such good hearing so he hears the baby before us, and that’s when we know sometimes that a cry is about to come. Then he gives us such a sassy side eye when we don’t stand up immediately!
She says Winston was “full of excitement” when his baby brother came into the world – and is always nearby in case he needs anything.
Dedicated to the job, she says the pooch even wakes up for midnight feeds and nappy changes.
She added: “One time, we saw he left this toy in his water bowl, and he’s never done this before, but he was probably just super-tired for choosing to wake up with the baby every time.
“One of the sweetest things he does is try to soothe the baby with his paw. We’re always careful when it happens.”
Commenting on her video, one user said: “Our dog howls if the baby is crying and he comes to get me (mum) if someone else is taking too long to soothe the baby.”
Another user added: “My girl was like this. Now my son, 5, is confused why she doesn’t listen to him like she does me.
“She will literally look at me so confused when he tries to do her training. She helped me raise you!
“You literally learned to crawl to get to her and now you’re the boss? I’d be confused too. Went by so fast.”
A third user said: “He is so ashamed. He has taught y’all better than this. The disappointment is adorable.”
One more user added: “OMG, that’s so adorable. Well done Winston. That’s what you call protective. Bless him.”
