This Video of a Rescued Dog Playing With His Baby Sister Will Kind of Change Your Life

Growing up with a dog friend is priceless – and very beneficial to both parties. The little human learns how to interact with another living being, what it means to be patient and empathetic, and discovers from a very young age that animals need to be respected and treated with love. The dog learns similar things just as well, finding out how to behave with their little fur-less friend, how to make the baby laugh, and what not to do to make them cry. It has been also proven that raising children with animals has a number of important benefits when it comes to physical and psychological health, among them, strengthening the baby’s immune system.

Of course, apart from those valuable benefits and lessons that having a baby and a dog combo brings round, the experience also abounds in something more trivial, but still absolutely wonderful – all the cuteness!

Apache, a dog rescued from Fresno by the organization Compassion Without Borders, could teach a class all about spending quality dog-child time. Together with his baby sister Everly, they are a textbook example of adorableness. Apache was rescued as a puppy after he had been attacked by a coyote. He almost did not survive the attack, but, fortunately, he recovered and now finally has his happy ending at his little human friend’s side!
