Doting Boxer Shares HIs Favorite Toy With Newborn Human and This Bond Is Unbreakable
Of all dog breeds, Boxers are among the most under appreciated family dogs. Notoriously protective, loving, and patient, Boxers may not have the same reputation as the ultimate family dog that Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers do, but when it comes to building relationships with their humans, this breed is all love.
One doting Boxer is giving the breed a good name after starring in a social media video taking TikTok by storm. In the video, Bruno the Boxer can be seen cozying up to his infant brother, Arthur.

While Arthur safely snoozes in his Pack 'n Play, Bruno sploots on the neighboring bed, putting himself at eye level with the sleeping baby. As the baby naps, Bruno wags his tail, waiting for his buddy to wake up. What happens next is a showcase of just how loving and patient this dog breed can be.
As Bruno quietly watches his human baby brother sleep, he places his favorite toy-a plush stuffie-next to Arthur's bed, the ultimate offering from a lifelong best friend.

More than a cute dog video, this social media post demonstrates the loving and gentle nature some dog breeds bring to their relationships with their newborn human siblings. Rather than acting territorial or impatient, this Boxer patiently and quietly waits for the baby to wake up, seemingly attuned to the infant's sleep schedule while offering up a toy that clearly means so much to him.
It's no wonder this sweet dog video quickly went viral, with more than 200,000 viewers liking the post on TikTok and nearly 30,000 people sharing the heartfelt clip with others.
Comments from emotional viewers ranged from being overwhelmed by Bruno's sweetness to becoming completely invested in this loving relationship in bloom.
"I can't do this today," wrote one viewer.
Another added, "They're gonna have so much fun together."
"Oh my heart," commented another. "He's sharing his favorite stuffie. We don't deserve dogs."
We may not deserve dogs, but we're certainly lucky to have them. Dogs really are humans' best friends.
