I remember being an only child for about five years and loving the attention. I had my parents to myself, and they would devote all their time to me. Then, my sister came along and the attention, of course, was divided. I remember feeling jealous of the baby and thinking of ways to have my parents to myself again—no luck!
I know that humans have tendencies of being jealous and sad when their caregivers’ attention extends to more than just you, but the same goes for dogs, and other household pets, too. When a family is planning a baby, along with considering everything else, the parents-to-be also have to think of how their dog will react to the newest addition to their family.
Some pets don’t take this too well. They can become standoffish, and offended. They can act out, get weird, and generally have a total change of attitude. In this story, Fenway was the only fur-child his parents had until his mom gave birth to baby Landon. Although the family didn’t know how Fenway would react to the baby, it’s clear that they’re more than happy with the relationship the two now share. Right from the get-go, the two are inseparable. It’s like they were meant to be in each other’s lives to be buddies. They are so adorable, clearly bringing joy to one another.
Not only does Fen bring joy to Landon, but the pup is also teaching his little human the ways of life. Like how to play, how to cuddle, and how to just be in the present moment. It’s safe to say that the two are best friends now and probably will be later on into their lives.
Fen was 8-weeks-old when he came into the family so it’s obvious that he would be a spoiled dog—he was, of course, the center of attention. But, he didn’t mind sharing the attention at all once Landon came into the picture. We hope the two kindred spirits have a nice long life together
Watch Landon and Fenway be the best of friends in the video below!
