Beagle and His Little Human Share an Incredible Bond [Video]

Growing up with a dog as a best friend is one of the best experiences that a child can have. Not only do studies prove that kids who grow up with pets have a higher immune system, are more sociable, and overall more compassionate towards animals, but kids who have pets also get the added perks of getting a life-long BFF.

Pet best friends fill a special role that just can’t be mirrored by a human bestie. Pets are always patient, they love you unconditionally, and they’re pretty good with teaching you all you need to know about navigating this big, scary world. Just take Laura and her best friend Charlie the Beagle for example.

Charlie plays a super important role in Laura’s life and has made it his mission to help her human parents ensure that little Laura grows up happy and healthy
