There’s nothing cuter than when a dog thinks the new family baby is THEIR baby.

A woman named Shannon posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how her dog Dudley reacted when he met the new family baby for the first time.

The video showed a man holding a baby.

Dudley smelled the baby and it was clear that this guy was pretty interested in what was going on!

Dudley walked away and got a stuffed animal.

He then brought it over to show to the baby.

The video’s caption reads, ” Here’s the full clip of Dudley meeting our baby for the first time and showing him his IKEA orangutan.”

Awwwwww.
