A dog is a man’s best friend, but before “man” even comes into the picture, children make best friends with our canine companions too. There’s something about the pure joy, untainted by the trials of life that dogs have in common with babies.

Watching a compilation of babies and dogs having a ball (sometimes literally) can be a cuteness overload.
We already know that the cutest sound in the world is the sound of a baby laughing, and it seems like the shortcut key for that reaction is to pair an adorable baby with an equally adorable pup. The relationship between dogs and children is that of mutual entertainment. Of being able to endlessly keep each other company and make each other laugh from nothing.

Not to mention the purity of love.
If there’s something that both babies and dogs alike love, it’s cuddles. And if there’s anything we love seeing babies and dogs do, it’s…you guessed it..cuddling! We love cuddling babies, and we love cuddling dogs, so why wouldn’t babies cuddling dogs tug on our heart strings too!

Of course, another thing they love is having fun!
Dogs fetch balls, babies laugh at jingling keys, the math all leads to the same result: ultimate fun. Before human children get the chance to spoil their funometers with video games and rollercoasters, babies are very easy to entertain. Of course dogs don’t get access to rollercoasters either, so they too are content with simple games. If only they made arcades for dogs which rewards winning with treats.
