It’s adorable! This baby has a lifelong best friend and guardian!

Alpine is a very kind and caring guardian angel from Kentucky who recently adopted his younger human sibling.

Then Alpine sniffles quietly and wags his tail, discreetly keeping an eye on his younger brother as he rests in his cradle.

To conclude this adorable first encounter, It is, in fact, love.

It’s difficult not to enjoy this gorgeous dog and newborn duo, and we’re excited to see how their bond develops.

If you want to introduce your dog to a new kid, do your research ahead of time to help your canine pals acclimate to their new human siblings.

Experts recommend introducing a scent followed by a little dog treat to develop a “positive connection.”

So, keep those hospital blankets handy for the big day—you’ll need them! They will have a great time together.

Dogs can become our best friends at a young age and will never be afraid to do so.
