In a touching image of animal love and protection, we observe the world’s safest infant surrounded by his furry protectors. The youngster, named Teddy, is barely two years old and is being safeguarded from the family cat by a dog named Milo. Though it may seem strange to call Milo a puppy at two years old, he’s still a youthful and lively dog.

Teddy’s mom notes that this is really the longest he has been awake, which is roughly three to four hours. In this little period of time, Teddy is already causing a bit of trouble as he tries to demolish his mom’s garland. But Nico, the family’s second dog, is quick to intercede and protect the decoration.

Nico, the sole female pet in the family, is in full “Mama mode” as she watches over Teddy. She’s always by his side, never relaxing and always vigilant to protect her small human pal. The mom comments that she’s observed a shift in Nico’s conduct after Teddy was born.

When Teddy plays with his toys, we discover that the dogs have taken over his old toys. Even a plush elephant that was formerly Teddy’s is now being played with by the dogs. It’s a lovely reminder of how animals can create great ties and love, not only with people, but with their other.

Despite the trials of being a new parent, Teddy’s mom is taking it all in stride. She laughs about how she’s being overseen by the dogs and feels like they’re criticizing her talents. Yet in truth, they just want to snuggle and offer her attention.

In the end, it’s a lovely tableau of love, protection, and joy. Teddy is surrounded by furry companions who will always be there to watch over him and keep him safe. And as the mom observes, even though it’s a tough period, she understands it’s only temporary, and she appreciates every minute with her little one.
