Dogs have an innate ability to nurture and care for babies. No other household pet has this ability that dogs have. Since dogs have been domesticated by humans for hundreds of years, they have evolved to nurture and care for human beings especially babies.
Dog breeders will tell you that there are dog breeds such as pit bulls known to be nanny breeds. Dogs got their title because they have demonstrated that they can babysit a child of a human being. Whether it is playing with a baby, bringing toys to the young one, following the orders of a child, stopping a toddler from crying to teaching little ones to crawl, dogs got it all covered.
You don’t have to train your dog to babysit your child. They do it instinctively and do it well. So, if you have kids and still not a dog owner, then do yourself a favor. Get a dog today and watch it care for your child.
