An adorable Instagram video melted hearts as a mom shared a special moment between her toddler daughter and their Doberman dog.
Tina Meeks, also known as @herlifesparkles on Instagram, needed to vacuum the room while her toddler Mila and dog Cinnamon were present. The loud noise of the vacuum caused Mila to hide, but she wasn’t alone – her loyal “dog nanny” Cinnamon was right by her side.
Meeks discovered Mila and Cinnamon cozying up together on the dog bed, which Mila fondly refers to as the mini couch. Cinnamon stayed close to Mila, watching over her like a trustworthy nanny.
The caption of the video reads: “Mila & her fur bestie… two peas in a pod!”
When Meeks peeked behind the couch, she found Mila and Cinnamon enjoying their time together in the dog bed. While Mila smiled at her mom, Cinnamon seemed a little tired of her nanny duties, although it’s in the dog’s protective nature to keep an eye on the toddler.
Despite the intimidating reputation of Dobermans portrayed in media, these dogs can be excellent family pets when trained and socialized properly. According to Dogster, Dobermans are known for their temperament and protective instincts, making them great companions for families.
Dobermans raised alongside children often see them as part of their pack, displaying patience, love, and affection towards kids. However, it’s important to supervise all interactions between dogs and young children, regardless of breed.
