A Paw-some Babysitter: Golden Retriever’s Heartwarming Care for Baby Boy.
A heartwarming video captures the strong bond that developed between a cute dog and his human baby brother. Whitney Parks, a 37-year-old from Boston, shared the story of her one-year-old Golden Retriever, Hinckley, who seemed to view baby Theodore, born in October 2020, as a new playmate. It wasn’t long before Hinckley realized that Theodore was a permanent addition to the family, becoming his loyal companion for naps, snuggles, and meals.
One-year-old Golden Retriever Hinckley has developed a strong bond with newborn Theodore Parks from Boston, forming an unbreakable friendship between the two.
Whitney, aged 37, shared that Hinckley, who has always been used to being the star of the show, mistakenly thought Theodore was brought home as a new plaything just for him. The photo shows Theodore with his father Rob and Hinckley.
Whitney, who works in communications, shared that after bringing Theodore home, their dog Hinckley became very attentive to him. It seems dogs really are man’s best friend as Hinckley wanted to be a part of everything Theodore did. Whitney explained how Hinckley initially thought Theodore was brought home as a new toy just for him, considering he had been the center of their world for a year. In the first few nights, Hinckley would keep a close eye on Theodore while he slept, observing his every move in amazement. As time went on, Hinckley realized Theodore wasn’t going anywhere, and he became obsessed with being around him and participating in his activities. Teddy and Hinckley now enjoy snuggling together on the couch or floor, especially during tummy time.
Whitney mentioned that it took Hinckley a couple of days to understand that Theodore wasn’t planning on leaving. In the photo, you can see Baby Theodore and Hinckley together.
