Have you ever wondered how dogs can be babysitters or nannies? Research and first-hand experience show that not only dogs make the best babysitters, but they are also by far the only household pet who can babysit your kiddo. Dogs develop a special attachment to children and build an emotional bond based on trust and friendship that last a lifetime.
Dogs are known to make babies happy, they make babies laugh, bring toys to them, kneel before them to give piggyback rides, teach toddlers to crawl, perform duties of a lifeguard, protect baby from harm or random strangers, do sniff health checks of babies, and much more.
Scientific research has proved that babies who grow around dogs are much healthier as well. Furthermore, dogs teach babies how to process emotions, how to be empathetic, how to be a good listener, and how to experience the world around babies through touch.An Infographic by Dog Pages.
