“Took his first steps. Not to his mom and dad. To his dog …” 😂. Smart kid.

The look in Veto’s face when his boy walked up to him - it was like he totally understood how big and epic that was. So cute.

The hug Luca gave to Vito when he walked up to him...that's pure friendship.

Boxers are good with kids and loyal too. Not always the smartest dog but very sweet.

I hope their relationship does nothing but bloom bright and shines forever

I am 72 years old and watching this reminds me of my dog. She was 2 years old when my parents had me. My parents let her sniff me when I came home and she became my protector and buddy. She passed away at 16 years of age and I still miss her even though I have had other dogs in my life A bond like this is for life and beyond.

I rescued a boxer when my daughter was 3 yrs old. He protected her, loved her and played with her throughout his life. She and I will never forget our “Buddy”. Luca is blessed to have Vido. 💕💕

That dog adores that baby... so happy Luca will have this wonderful friend in Vito as he grows. 🥰

*It amazed me just how much the dog calmed itself down in order to be around the baby. They're so smart!*

[jenniferpowers]

Just shows how animals are smarter than we give them credit for! Beautiful story, thanks!

How anyone could ever hurt these gentle creatures is absolutely beyond me

[brentmason]

First steps! What a milestone…and straight to his best friend! Makes sense to me… who could resist those puppy dog eyes? Babies and dogs are experts at giving unconditional love! These two will be lifelong friends!

I absolutely love love love this. They have a unique relationship but Vito has great masters who trained and loved him so much, Vito passed that love to Luca.

My dad grew up with a Boxer, and when he was a toddler he apparently crawled towards the fireplace whilst it was on during a family gathering at Christmas. When my grandparents looked back over at him, the Boxer had laid over my dad before he got too close to the fireplace, and had singed the hairs on her back a bit keeping him safe. They're incredibly loyal dogs, I'm glad Luca got to experience that level of care so early on from a pet. It'll set him up for good!

Every child should have a dog. The connection is so much more than just about any other animal - responsibility, companionship, protection, communication, etc.

I'm 39 years old. I'm a combat veteran, saw so much of the world. I consider myself as a grown up man. And I'm sitting here with tears of joy in my eyes. This is the cutest thing ever existed in the world. ❤️

My wife and I brought our twins home where we had a 1 yr old yellow lab. The dog and our kids grew up together and the bond between them was amazing. I have 14+ years of amazing pictures and videos of them growing up together. If you have small kids, don’t miss the opportunity to bring a sweet dog into the family. The memories are priceless.

a bond between a boy and his dog can and never will be broken. I hope they make many wonderful memories together.

"Let's go wake up the baby." LOL! They are so adorable together! Great job peeps!
