German Shepherd goes into baby's bedroom then something amazing happens
A mum was left gobsmacked when she caught footage of her German Shepherd entering her child's bedroom, as she couldn't believe what the dog was doing with her baby It's not uncommon for new parents to be worried about their baby's sleeping habits. You want to make sure they're getting enough rest, that they're comfortable in their cot, and that they're not going to get themselves into dangerous positions in the middle of the night without you knowing. For some parents, this can mean getting up multiple times in the night to check that their baby is okay, and it turns out that the same parental habits might actually exist in our pets, too. One mum was left gobsmacked when she saw her German Shepherd dog walk into her child's room - and was even more surprised by what happened next. Jeannie Russell shared a video on TikTok that included footage from the baby monitor that she has set up in her child's room, which was positioned to film the cot so that Jeannie could see if anything was wrong with her baby during the night. But when she checked the footage one morning, she was floored to see her 10-year-old German Shepherd approaching the cot and watching her baby for a moment to make sure the tot was alright - just as she would have done. She captioned the video: "Watch my 10-year-old German Shepherd check on 'his' baby." Commenters on the video were just as touched by the sweet interaction as the mum had been when she first saw it. Many of them said they were moved to tears by the dog's gesture, while others praised the pooch as "the best in the world". One person wrote: "I'm not crying, you're crying." Another added: "They truly are the best dogs in the world." Are German Shepherd dogs good with children? According to Pet Plan, German Shepherds are generally considered to be great family pets that tend to be gentle with children and other animals. However, as with any dog breed, German Shepherds require proper training and socialisation before they can be considered safe around babies. German Shepherds are not naturally aggressive dogs, but their protective instincts can make them hesitant when meeting strangers. They can also develop behavioural problems if they are left alone for too long or don't get enough exercise. The dogs generally enjoy the company of their family, which makes them great family pets. However, this means they can also struggle with separation anxiety if you leave them on their own for too long. Always do plenty of research before you commit to getting any breed of dog, and consider adopting from a shelter rather than buying.

Bulldogs' Dramatic Ways of 'Clamoring' for Food Are Pure Internet Gold
Some dogs are really chill and generally don't ask for anything. If dinner is late, they're cool with it; if it's time to go for a walk but not too keen, they're getting up and going. But other dogs are a little more demanding of your time. And when they want something, they want it now. On February 5, 2025, TikTok user Barnett (@barnett7016) shared a video of the family Bulldogs who don't try to hide that they really (really) want to eat. The way they communicate is by giving everyone a case of giggles. Take a look! This is one of those videos that we could probably watch on a loop several times over and still not be able to get rid of the giant grin on our Bulldogs are unintentionally hilarious, and that makes it even funnier when we watch, for some reason. In the comments, people had a lot of belly laughs at these silly pups. One person wrote, "That look, I would give in. My husband wants an English Bulldog. I love their looks. But I know I would overfeed them. All my pets over the past 40 years have been overweight. Someone else shared, "He has had about enough of his bowl being empty." Other comments included, "Can't you see I'm malnourished?" "I'm so obsessed with them," "I could not love this more," and "Bro said, I am hungry." There is something really hilarious about watching a dog try to explain to humans what he wants. They make it really obvious at times, like in this clip where we've got no questions that the cute Bulldog wants to eat. It's hard to say no or to tell them to wait until it's their scheduled mealtime, but it's for their own good. According to PetPlan, Bulldogs have a dangerous combination of being naturally lazy and having a big appetite. "Their signature laziness combined with a love of food means that obesity is a common English Bulldog health problem," the site explains, "so it's important to find the right diet for your pet." The experts say that your English Bulldogs' weight can creep up on you because their body shape can hide weight gain. "Their naturally thickset physique and loose-fitting skin can mask signs of obesity," PetPlan notes, which is why it's important that you practice portion control. "English Bulldogs can be greedy eaters so portion control is key," the site writes. "Feed your pet a high-quality food, and always follow the portion guidelines on the packaging." Exercise is another factor that plays into the health of a pup and can be especially helpful for those that maybe love to eat a litte more than they should. But the balance can be complicated for Bulldogs because exercise isn't always simple. "While daily exercise is important, you should try to avoid getting your English Bulldog overexcited or overheated," PetPlan shares. Their exercise should be limited in hot weather, and keep training sessions short with lots of positive reinforcement. We're sure the silly Bulldogs will keep demanding their food dishes be refilled, and their parents will have to devise new ways to distract them.
