A massive, 100-pound dog exhibits extreme gentleness while providing sweet and loving care for a young child.
Most animals, like humans, want to be cared for and loved. In return, animals will display kindness, loyalty and love. Animals have surprising ways in which they show their love and loyalty. It may be that they refuse to leave the bedside of someone sick or provide comfort to an anxious or upset individual.
Animals may also show their love in how they care for a young child. That’s what Wally, a 135-pound dog adopted from China, did when a new family member crawled and cried into his life.
A video posted on YouTube shows the moment Wally meets his new little sister Annika. Wally sniffs around on this new person, trying to figure her out.
The introduction seemed to go well because the next shot is of the two waving at one another. Wally is outside on a deck while Annika sits and pounds on the sliding glass door. Wally lovingly reciprocates, lightly touching the glass door.
Annika, likewise, is smitten with Wally. One clip shows the young child sitting on the bed as she looks into the room. She notices Wally walk in and cannot contain her joy after seeing her furry, four-legged friend. She begins squealing and bouncing around with joy.
The video also shows the moments when Annika begins learning to crawl and walk. The child pulls herself along on the floor, reaching out in front of her. Also, she takes a few steps here and there as she tries to get a hold of this whole walking thing. But as the video shows, Wally is never too far away, almost as if he’s there to protect her if she encounters any trouble.
Annika and Wally also go on walks together. The child and loving, gentle animal explore and enjoy the great outdoors.
The two have developed a special bond over the years. Their love and friendship are very apparent. Wally’s owners will forever be grateful for the love, kindness and gentleness he has shown Annika, and by the end of the clip, their second daughter.
“We love watching our girls grow up with Wally,” Wally’s owner said. “He just makes our family better. That’s just what he does.”
1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”
