New parents need every help they can get to make sure their baby is well taken care of. For example, San Diego-based couple Sheena and Sunit Shah are relying on their beloved four-legged family member Sapphie to provide them assistance, and according to a recent viral video posted on TikTok, the dog is doing a great job.

Sheena and Sunit run a TikTok profile on which they post all sorts of clips that showcase Sapphie’s ability to communicate with them through dog training buttons.

In one of those clips, Sapphie can be seen approaching the baby crib and getting a good sniff. She immediately notices there is a dirty diaper that needs to be changed, so she runs to the training buttons and presses two that have pre-recorded messages: “Poop” and “Change Diaper”.  

When Sunit gets to the baby crib, he confirms Sapphie’s observation and gets immediately to work as any other dad would.

The video became a huge hit on social media, getting close to 35 million views in just a couple of days. Other TikTok users were impressed with Sapphie, and some even jokingly suggested taking her training further.

“Now ya just got teach Sapphie how to change them!” one user wrote.

This video goes to show that having pets around can make parenting a lot easier. Even if they can’t change diapers or notify you when there is a need to change them, they can provide kids with a playmate and a trusty companion as they grow up.

Dogs are just about the cutest little creatures ever, and yet things aren’t always so simple when a newborn is around. There’s no secret that infants are incredibly vulnerable to the world around them, and it’s a lot easier for them to pick up all kinds of illnesses and allergies than it is for the rest of us. So when it comes to the proximity between a dog and your baby—even if that dog is your pet—should you be allowing the dog near your child?

Taking Precautions

Sometimes it’s important to take precautions, even if they’re a bit extreme. Even if you trust your dog wholeheartedly and know in your heart they would never hurt your baby, it may still pay off to create some sort of barrier between them. Dogs are so loving and caring, but this can translate into them slobbering all over your child, and let’s be real: we all know where your dog’s tongue has been.

Finding the Balance

However, every precaution should come with a nice fat grain of salt. You don’t want your child growing up without being exposed to anything potentially dangerous, and you also don’t want to teach them to be afraid of everything they see. For this reason, we wouldn’t necessarily block your baby off completely from your dog. Allow your dog to interact with the baby, but just keep a watchful eye if it seems as though things are getting a bit too friendly and/or aggressive.
