The bond between a boy and his dog is a special one. It's an everlasting friendship built upon a foundation of love and trust, the likes of which cannot be rivaled by any other force on this earth.
Recently, budding TikTok influencer, Panda the Belgian Malinois, was captured meeting his newborn baby brother for the first time. The babe and dog form an instant bond that both will carry with them for years to come.
Although he may look like a German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois are their own breed with their own unique characteristics. In his free time, Panda loves to go exploring in the woods in order to find big sticks which he proudly displays to his paw-rents. He's a handsome boy who loves playing fetch, lounging around in the backyard on sunny afternoons, and has spent the better part of his life at the absolute center of his mum and dad's universe. At least he was, until very recently.
Panda saw how his mom's tummy was getting bigger, his dad seemed more stressed out than usual, and the two of them kept talking about how a "baby" was on the way. Considering that Panda was the only baby in the household that he knew of, this left him understandably confused. Then, the big day finally came when everything clicked into place and Panda finally understood what all the fuss was about.
As the two of them walked through the door, Panda noticed that his dad was carrying something in his arms. As he went to greet him, Panda caught the scent of something he'd never smelled before. Once dad put the car seat on the ground, Panda was able to finally see what his mom and dad had been obsessing over this whole time: his brand-new baby brother.
Both of his parents had complete trust in Panda, allowing him to stick his nose inside the baby carrier and get acquainted with his new brother. A few quick sniffs and a wagging tail were all it took in order for them to know that both Panda and their newborn child would be best friends forever.
"That exact moment he took a vow to protect that tiny human forever," TikTok user slightlymoistburrito commented.
"He understands everything. You can see. He will protect that baby with his life," another said.
