They say it takes a village to raise a child, and apparently, that village sometimes includes a few furry helpers too.
Having a baby is a big change for the whole family, including the pets. Some cats and dogs seem to take their new roles very seriously, staying close to the little ones and finding the funniest ways to be part of their lives.
A recent post on Threads sparked a discussion filled with adorable photos shared by parents showing their newborns with their furry companions, from cats acting as pillows to dogs keeping a close eye on their tiny humans. Scroll down to check out these sweet moments!

#7 My Tuxedo Girl Neville Was Like This With Both Of My Babies
My parents said she was mean and I should get rid of her before we had kids, but she kept me sane. She developed severe kidney disease and we put her to sleep at the end of this past May. She was 16. I miss her every day.

Spent a lot of those first years pretty isolated, far from a village of regular help/visits and zero routine in our daily schedule of working full time from home basically solo.
Our pug Artie has always been there 😭
Now he’s the geriatric elder and it’s our turn to take care of him. He’s been by my side through pregnancy, every late mom night, moves, creating holiday magic, potty training, my cancer saga. Everything.
