The moment where Millie rests her paws on Daisy is too adorable.
Millie the husky has been there since Daisy, a human child, was born. They are best friends.
Millie is very protective of Daisy and Daisy loves Millie just as much. She giggles and smiles as soon as she sees her. Even though Millie is a big large fluffy dog, Daisy isn’t int.imi.dated at all.
She lets the massive pup snuggle right up next to her. Daisy, baby gets so excited when she sees husky Millie! They love each other so much and just want to cuddle! They always fall asleep together.
According to the American Kennel Club, dogs are “smitten” with babies and have deep connections with children they spend a lot of time with.
They see children as someone they can play with and who will offer them attention.
Having a dog is said to be great for a child. Dogs make babies happy and help raise serotonin and dopamine levels. Growing up with a dog can also help strengthen a baby’s immune system.
Dogs can sense that babies are more fragile. And since dogs are protective of their pack, which in some cases are their humans, they will look after the most [vul.ner.able].
Daisy got so comfortable that she took a nice nap with her best bud.
Millie even made sure to protect Daisy in the child’s sleep.
She wrapped her paws around Daisy, so the little girl could feel cozy.
Waggy races! Dozens of disabled stray dogs use wheelchairs to take their daily walk at sanctuary in Thailand
The 27 dogs from a shelter in Chonburi, Thailand, appeared to be beaming from ear to ear as enjoyed a stroll with their wheel aides
With tails wagging to a chorus of barks and yelps, dozens of disabled dogs attached to wheels that support their disabled hind legs looked ecstatic as they took their daily walk at a sanctuary in Thailand.
Mostly victims of accidents, the 27 dogs are being nursed back to health at a shelter in Thailand’s province of Chonburi southeast of the capital, Bangkok.
They beamed from ear to ear as they took to the rocky track with their wheels for their dose of exercise for the day.
‘It’s almost like they have no idea that they have a disability and once you put them in the wheelchair for the first time, it’s like there’s no learning curve,’ said shelter official Christopher Chidichimo.
Thanks to mobility devices, the disabled dogs were able to get some much needed outside exercise in Chonburi, Thailand
During their exercise outing at the shelter, the disabled dogs were even joined by some strays who decided to join in with all the fun

Shelter official Christopher Chidichimo said ‘It’s almost like they have no idea that they have a disability’ once the dogs are placed in the wheelchairs for the first time
The shelter, run by a foundation called The Man That Rescues Dogs, was set up by a Swede who moved to Chonburi in 2002 and was so dismayed by the poor condition of strays that he started caring for them after work.
But its future is now in doubt, after the coronavirus pandemic led to a 40 per cent drop in donations and slashed the number of foreign visitors.
‘The donations are very important and the volunteers and visitors are equally important, because they come and spread our message,’ said Chidichimo, who is a sponsorship coordinator at the shelter.
The shelter spends more than $1,300 (£946.42) each day to care for more than 600 dogs and feed 350 more that live on the streets.

The shelter takes care of a range of dogs from different backgrounds and even offers physiotherapy sessions
Its volunteers also look after paralysed and disabled dogs, including physiotherapy sessions, but scarce funds have forced it to suspend a monthly campaign to spay and neuter strays.
Thailand, estimated to have more than 800,000 stray cats and dogs in 2017, could see their number reach 2 million by 2027 and 5 million in 20 years unless it takes some steps to control numbers, livestock authorities says.
For now, the disabled dogs in Chonburi enjoy their daily rambles. ‘They are eager for us to strap them up,’ said dog handler Phanuphong Borphuak, referring to the canine mobility aids.
‘They run very fast, we humans can’t keep up with them.’

After their energetic walk the dogs enjoyed a boy of food after working up quite the appetite with their running around
