Dogs and kids are always a wonderful combination.
Kids love playing with their pups, and they often spoil them with treats and lots of cuddling time. It’s always adorable to see a dog and kid together.
The world is full of lucky pets, that’s for sure, but perhaps the dog in the video below is among the luckiest. Her human sister has stolen the internet’s heart with how she treats the pup.
Four-year-old Marleigh loves her adorable pooch Fiona and shows her in the sweetest way. The little girl’s mom, Paige Jolley Bumgarner, hit record on her phone one day to record the duo together.
Marleigh’s holding onto the boxer who’s fast asleep in her arms.
On top of rocking Fiona gently back and forth, she’s also softly humming a tune. All the dog needs really is a snuggly blanket and it’d be pure heaven (but this is close enough).
Moments into the video, Marleigh begins singing a hymn to her dog.
Fiona doesn’t budge an inch while the angelic girl sings, and the whole scene is simply beautiful.
From the outside, it’s easy to see that Marleigh is a patient, loving pet owner. But another thing that’s adorable is that even she knows it too.
At one point the girl says to her mom:
“I’m a good sister, mama.”
Paige responds to her daughter with a very true statement. She says:
“You’re the best.”
It’s not very surprising that Fiona stays asleep, even with Marleigh’s soft talking.
The situation seems very similar to a baby being rocked to sleep and comforted by its mother’s soothing voice.
At one point though, the tiny girl lets out a couple of big sneezes. “Bless you!”
Unfortunately, the sneezes wake Fiona and she sleepily pops her head up. Looks like Marleigh’s going to have to start all over again! But with how cute and precious it all is, it’s not really a bad thing, is it?
Marleigh starts singing “Jesus Loves Me” once again and in a flash Fiona hides her head again and is back to sleep. Seriously, this girl is good.
Fortunately for us, Paige shared the touching video on Facebook. She added the caption “This is why this dog is so spoiled.”
It quickly went viral and soon had over 50 million views.
Thousands of comments have been left as well. One woman wrote:
“This is so precious children can be taught to be good to fur babies although I think it came very natural with this little girl it definitely shows her parents have showered her with kindness and love❤️”
Someone else commented:
“Oh how adorable is that just like a little mommy”
These two are so sweet, and the video of them together is completely heartwarming. What an adorable duo.
