@@deniselange8154 My aunt had a pittie and a cat when I was little. I was maybe 4 and we went to visit one day. Her cat came over and rubbed on my legs, and I guess her pittie saw that and thought he’d try it 🤣 I was so small I ended up falling over and he was so confused as to how I ended up on the ground. He was such a sweetheart
@@Jucelegario What a Shitbull ? Oh you mean mutt in this video. Because that’s definitely not a Pit Bull . So how can hate something but you don’t know what it is
@@jamiekickaholeinthesky9513 Why? It wasn't aggression it was concern for his family member. Animals are capable of this..... Humans are such a new species to this planet. We expect too much.
We had a female pit bull when my son was born. She never had puppies, but she instantly took to him as if he was her own. They were best friends for 13 years.
It’s so crazy how animals are. My cat always has to sleep on my chest and I found out it’s because your heart beat comforts them! Such simple sweet things!
Dogs can sniff the rain from 4 kilometers away, they feel your sickness, sadness and all your emotions, they know when you'll have stroke or seizure. They give us unconditional love no matter what. Dogs are our best friends ever, they deserve our unconditional love too.
the first image of Nova with wide eyes and his first interaction was just too adorable and beautiful. This is why staffordshire terriers are considered to be "nan" dogs who look after little kids. Here, Nova proves it by all the love he shows.
I had a staffie as a kid she was there before I was born from the day I came home from the hospital she never left my side. I had a such a special bond with her apparently I used to occasionally nap with her in her bed lol she truly was a nanny a dog me and my siblings doted on her even now we all say she was my dog but in truth she had a special bond with her if I ever got another dog it would be a staffie
no it's not true not even the British staffie 😂😂😂 stop spreading lies online. a quick Google search would tell you that you're spreading false information.
I could turn around and call Labradors a true nanny dog because they literally get trained to be service dogs which nannying would be classed as a service. my lab treated me like a puppy too, doesn't mean she's a fricking nanny.
My pitty decided that my son was her baby when he was born. She was up my butt until he came along and they were inseparable. We lost her when my son was about 5. We were all so heart broken. That dog will be your daughter's best friend and snuggle buddy for the rest of his life. I'm so happy for all of you.
@@jeremyalexander9761 I’ve had a pittie since 2009. Shockingly, my four kids, toddler niece, and literally every other kid that’s ever come over are still alive. Yesterday, she got to play in the sandbox with the 3 YO, so maybe that’s the secret. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sooo sweet Nova is to his baby sister! He’s so gentle and protective and she is going to have a best bud growing up! Great job mom and dad and your baby is adorable!
I love how dogs immediately recognize family members. Dogs are always like: “OOH! It’s like you mom/dad but tiny! They don’t have hair like me, but look! A tiny human!”
That's the BIG LIE. Breeding and instincts are more POWERFUL than "how you bring up dog". All dogs have instincts bred for generations. Pits bred to attack without warning, maul relentlessly with tail wagging, and kill. NEVER meant for families...and NOT SAFE.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, almost 45 years ago, the dog we had did the same thing. Dogs can hear the baby in the womb, her heartbeat, they can even smell her scent. When we brought her home, the first thing I did was squat so he could sniff her. As soon as he smelled her, his tail was wagging like he was meeting an old friend! He was very protective & wouldn't let anyone that wasn't family into the bedroom. He would lay right across the doorway. He was a big, black Labrador mix. Someone you wouldn't wanna mess with!! They can sense good & bad vibes!!! Pitbulls were known as the Nanny Dog because back in the 20's, they had them to watch over the children, like Petey of the Little Rascals fame. My son has 3 of them, the mom & 2 of her puppies, along with his 2 kids now 3 & 6. The 2 youngest were of a litter born in the home when my grandson was almost 2. So they're growing up with the kids. You have great dogs! ❤Good luck!!! My daughter has a other of the puppies & a 10 yr. old cat,. My other son has 2 Beagles & a German Shepherd. They had a cat, but she passed. All my grandkids have grown up with dogs & other pets.
Yep Nanny dogs, that is what they were used for, protection, people forge with all the dog fighting, these dogs do that and bond heavily, they wil be agrssive outside a family if people do not naturalise them to it, they need a lot of people around, otherwise good luck getting near that baby, nanny dogs.
@@raintree3383 the environment and they way a dog was trained is what causes what you are talking about, but breed has nothing to do with it. Problem pitbulls have is for years/decades nearly every dog attack from a mixed breed or unknown breed get labeled as a pitbull or pit/mix. Something else never brought up in dog attacks in the news is what was happening in the days or weeks prior to the attack as dogs rarely just run loose attacking random people for no reason. Think of all the stray dogs you have ever seen, have you ever seen on one just running around attacking anyone they say saw?
@@negativezero3107 even fighting dogs are trained not to attack humans as the dog's owners are in the fighting pits during the fight and dont want to be attacked by the dogs fighting....sooo that argument doesnt work....doh!
Yaaalllll, he's been interacting with her since BEFORE she was born.💜💜 Babies can feel and hear things, even before they are born. And I'm sure that dog could actually hear and feel her in there, while smooshed up that close to mom's pregnant tummy especially, before she was born too!!!! 😊 _It's a BEAUTIFUL thing!!!_
this dog is full of intelligence, acting like a father himself so much love and care, in the last pic his eyes are astonished, he realises and is very interested to understand the environment of human life. something special
One of the Monroe books on astral projecting alludes to the idea that dogs may be 'promoted' to incarnate as humans if they have spent a lot of time around humans in their lives.
the dog is full of intelligence - said the dumbest guy ever. you think you know what an animal is thinking? a dog acting like a father? how far removed are you from reality. leave your bedroom once and a while.
So are cats, if you want to get technical. So are ALL domesticated animals. They ALL still have certain wild, primal instincts (beating and shaking their toys, chasing smaller animals, pack rules, dominance/submission.) Just as we have our fight or flight responses, starvation mode, etc. I have a 25 pound pug who would chew your bum off, while this monster of a mush ball is curious. Yes, they are aware it’s a dog. So you’re saying all animals shouldn’t be around babies then, correct? Or just pitts due to ignorance and improper education and information regarding them and all dogs alike.
Way to go Nova. Our Animal Rescue has two Pitties available. One is 5 years old, and the other is 7 weeks - both are adorable dogs. Thanks for sharing this!!
I love seeing babies and dogs together. I think it is one of the most precious sights to see in the world. I get so much joy watching the babies and puppies a lot. So much cuteness and love is hard to ignore. :)
Just further proof there are no “bad breeds”, just bad people. Nova is a four-legged angel. Your story easily and quickly brought this grown man to tears. Thank you for a glimpse into your amazing life and family 🙏🏽
@@deebosextendedvacationfore4345 data collected that it's "you're" or "you are" and not your. Also if you're a good owner and not an abuser no matter what breed the dog will be fine.
No, but certain breeds are far far more prone, not all of them big breeds either. I wouldn't leave my baby in attended with any size dog, even a teacup breed could rip out a new norms throat in seconds
Babies give off the same “new & helpless” scent all baby animals do. That’s why dogs are soo extremely protective and gentle after the first sniff & meeting the new baby. It’s very instinctual.
No not all animals have maternal instincts. Which is why so many babies are killed in dog attacks. Just on the news today a baby was killed. Not all animals of course. Just like with people animals get stressed too.. People need to look at the stress signs of their dog and stop forcing these interactions. Many need to be educated on warning signs and how to work through the stress and or jealousy or just rehome the pup for all safety. That's like folk saying to strangers my dog doesn't bite
@@1jazzyphae very true. Obviously people need to truely KNOW their dog and understand their body language. Everyone knows interactions need to be carefully supervised.
Thank god nova’s parents aren’t the type of people that get rid of their dog when they have a baby. And they let their human daughter by nova. What a good boy. Loves his sister
@@mikamikan1079 WHY? Why would you “get rid” of a dog bc you have a child I’d love to know?! I’ve been raised around animals my whole life, I was taught how to be kind to animals respect their feelings don’t pull on their ears, don’t ride them, don’t pull out their tail or poke their eyes period. Both generations of my family members are dog lovers. My Dad passed away when I was eight we were given his favorite dog a basset hound named Snoozer VanWinkle bc he slept all the time, we loved that dog and when Snooze past my sister and I both got bassets. Mine was a “gentle watcher” in almost every picture of my granddaughter from baby to toddler to first grade she can be seen somewhere close by… I’m telling you all of this bc “you don’t get a dog to get rid of, you get it for it’s whole life period”! And obviously you don’t care for animals especially dogs and should never 👎 have a dog! People who don’t like animals are missing a chip somewhere my Mother always said watch how a man treats his Mother and his Animals, if they treat them badly or careless, move on! I’ve found it to be 100% correct.
A well trained dog becomes a child’s best friend! Obviously, nobody should leave their newborn alone with a dog, but there is absolutely zero reason why anyone would get rid of their dog when they have children!
My son is now turning 9. I still have to sniff him everyday. Love that smell aswel. Hehe. Wish they never grew out of it. He startin to get stinky n sweaty tho. So imma keep sniffin him til he an adult n the smell full go away. Hehe.
Now that's what you call a companion animal. My pup, pom and Chihuahua mix, is very much my companion animal. When I was working she would wait for me and get so excited when I walked in the door. When I was first in and out of the hospital with my ultimate disabilities, she had to wait 7 or 8 days for me and that was when I almost didn't make it. It's amazing what they fur babies do for us humans on every loving level. I am so happy this pup turned out to be the entire family's companion, like y'all wouldn't be complete without her. It's an amazing feeling. 🔥❤️
Cats in the wild have a similar pack like lions. The dominant male impregnates the females and if he finds offsprings that are not his , he kills them. The only difference is that the dominant male cat does not stick around to protect the pack like male lions do.
My male rotties adored my son. They were so gentle with me and comforting throughout my pregnancy and viewed our son as the newborn prince. Sweetest memories ever.
@@Hanson032 aww don't say THAT. I LOVE PITS!! and rotties too actually I love all dogs and I don't think any dog is better than another all breeds r perfect I just got a German shepherd puppies 2 weeks ago but have always owned pitts before him and also did have a rottweiler pair called Bruno and charm
This video is so precious! He is the most gentle dog ever and not to mention gorgeous! They will grow up together and be the best of friends! Congratulations to you both on baby girl! And btw she looks just like her her daddy but you can also see mommy in there too! She's a very beautiful baby girl! 👶🏻 💗

What a wonderful family. It's so heartening to see that the dogs are very much part of the household and are dearly loved. Too many people discard their dogs when the babies come.
You know this dog has the life of a king just by looking of how shiny and smooth his coat is. Of course he will be king, with all this love he receives💖

So lovely to see new parents including their dogs/pets in the new born's life - so often the animals get pushed out. Inspiring and wonderful that your daughter is surrounded by so much love and understanding by her parents and canine friends
@@jamaicafox A child is literally many times more likely to be killed by a parent than a dog-dogs by nature are very maternal and protective of their families if they are actually bonded to you (treated like family not thrown outside.) You shouldn't have a dog if you don't spend enough time with it to consider them family. They arn't a disposible object to throw away when "something better" comes along. Children ARE animals, we all are. It's wrong to pay for an animal to be bred into existence just to seperate them from their family so you can play with them when it's fun then toss them like trash when the next best toy comes.
@@jamaicafox A dog is way more dangerous to a baby they’re not made to feel like is part of the pack. This is simple logic, you should absolutely supervise your baby with any animal of course but you need to show them the baby and let them interact so they see it as a new pack member. This goes for cats as well. Not doing it would be stupid because then they don’t know what this new creature is, just that it’s loud and steals all your attention.
Beautiful. A child raised with animals will always love and respect animals. So nice to see your gentle dogs interact with a new baby. Be happy together!!!

I have noticed that there are a lot of animals that look at humans like "what are you doing?!? Are you doing it right?" Nova gave the babies dad that look when he was holding her. Nova was like "dude totally devoted to you but what the hell did you do to my baby to make her cry?"
It’s beautiful to see the dog form such a bond with children at such a young age. It’s like in their instinct to love and protect babies almost instantly.
I've watched this video a few times now. I just can't get over the eyes on that gorgeous little pittie. They are so expressive. It's as if he realizes that he can't verbally communicate so he uses his eyes instead. It seems Nova has a particular look that tells everyone to simply just pay attention.
Then if said fur baby could live longer that's even better. I lost my first two dogs as a grown adult and I still cried my head off. I can't imagine how that feels at like...10.
@@JnEricsonx Our furbabies never seem to live long enough. And it's hard! I always wished they could live for another 10 or 20 years. But we cherish the time we have with them because they make out lives do much better!
This just happened 30 minutes ago. I was walking down the stairs, with brand new socks on, and my feet just flew out from under me. It sounded like a meteor had hit the house. Before I could move, both of my sleeping Dachshund's were there by my side, looking scared to death and licking me to death. The oldest one is deaf and almost completely blind; he was the FIRST ONE THERE. Amazing sense of everything, our pet's/animals have. My son, was pissed I woke him up, but, glad it wasn't his Mom, who fell. Gonna get rid of the humans and get some more dog's. The last time I landed that hard, I was 12 year's old and at a Roller Skating rink. LMAO I do need to teach my dachshund's, to dial 911. I may need that from them, in the future. I'm a huge animal lover, but now, even HUGER! LOL
@pistolp01 a little while back I slipped and fell outside on the ice. My black lab was all up in my face checking me out before I had my wits about me. LOL That wasn't the first time that she had come to my aid. When I told her that I was okay, she backed off but, still stood there and watched me until I got up.
@@deb8534 By the way, my sister's name is Debbie. Thank you for your concern, but, I'm okay. My 2 dogs and my Maine coon cat, all boy's, made sure of that. We've lost so many of our animal friends, in the last few years, they're and were..... everything.
The best thing in the world is kids growing up with animals. The look of sheer concern on Nova's face when Lilliana cried was absolutely priceless! You could almost hear what Nova was thinking! What a lovely little family. ❤
This is a wonderful family!! Such a sweet story. Dogs do love their human siblings, I've experienced it with my Rotties and my daughter that is 30 years old now. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl!

My family got a pit given to us when I was seven. I was a lonely kid for the most part and that dog filled in as my one best friend. Had him for 13 years. He got to see me grow from a kid, to a teen, to an adult and even at the end he was super loyal to my mom who was his favorite person and who he was instantly attached to from the start. Of all the funerals of siblings and other family I've gone too, that dog was the only one to make me cry, and I'm a person who NEVER CRIES it was just hard to let go of such a major part of my life and I was the one to bury him. I cannot wait to have my own kids so they can experience this happiness I had growing up.
I am so sorry for your loss sweetheart. People lose site in the fact that their animals but they still have a soul in a personality that attaches us to them just like any human being. It never stops us from hurting when they depart from us. I will tell you I try not to cry ever in front of people, I feel it shows a sign of weakness in me, but only because horrible things that happened to me growing up, so I had to be tough. I had no choice but to suck up the pain and tuck all the feelings away for lack of a better way of wording that. In my mind tough was my only option that existed because the other options were still to this day worse. So no crying, especially in front of people was one of my things. It still is, but I regret it because my three adult children has now picked it up and they hide those emotions as well. I never meant for them to pick it up and I didn't think they were until it was too late and I saw it. I didn't have a choice I had to be that way but they picked it up from me still being that way and I never even consciously knew it. I said all that to say, sir your video made me tear up so bad. It would not have mattered if the dead queen was sitting in this room, I would have teared up period. I'm glad you had that special of a best friend when you felt like you were a lonely kid. I'm glad, and I'd say you're pretty grateful yourself that they got to be your best friend when you were a lonely kid, then watch you blossom into a teen, and then ultimately watch you turn into a grown man that stands on his own two feet. Whether people realize it or not your dog probably felt like a proud parent of you. Your story really touch me and resonated with me so thank you for sharing it. I know you have to be vulnerable at times to share and that's hard as well. So from the bottom of my heart thank you and your family both for taking your best friend in, and then you sharing their story as well. It almost seems like keeping their memories alive is keeping them alive and some little odd way. I wished we could keep them longer.
Our girl of 18 years passed in Dec of 2022 and it took an entire year for my mama to consider taking in another dog. That dog is now 2 dogs (one shelter rescue, one I literally almost hit with my car coming home FROM the shelter) and they're besties despite one being a pitbull mix and the other being a literal rat terrier or something 😂 I've never seen a dog dig holes into a couch and then HIDE in them
"that dog was the only one to make me cry" you can forget about kids cause you have issues making connections with human beings. you can't wait to have your own kids so you can get them a dog? slow down there speedy, first you got to go out on a date.
@@chasefunk You read a positive comment and did your best to turn it into something negative. You don't know me or my personal situation with family, so you can't speak on how I should or shouldn't feel about anyone passing. Focus on your life, loser
It saddens me that people forget the pits were originally called "nanny dogs" because of how loving, attentive, and protective they are. Both are so sweet. Hopefully a long life to their friendship.
@@Grandcathedral "The four Pitbull type breeds are the American Pitbull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Bully. In its home country of England, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is nicknamed the "nanny dog," such is its reputation as a child's playmate and guardian. Despite his fierce appearance, this dog is a lover, not a fighter. The breed is gentle, docile, and always on the look out for fun." Lots more info on the American Kennel Club site and other reputable research sites if you wish to look. Yes the breed ancestors and its early years were used for war, hunting, bull baiting, and later illegal pit fights, but it was also used in the 1800s as a guard and playmate for children. Sorry, I'm a history nerd and it really surprises me through centuries how the gentle pets today were used (and even when THEY first stopped being used for primary jobs , they were seen as dangerous/vicious heck some still today). Did you know some shepherd breeds and mastiffs were used during mideval times in war carrying pots of tar or hot oil at troops or even had special made armor? It very interesting.
@@trystkinkou5542 There’s only one pit bull and that’s the American Pit Bull Terrier . When English Staff (England) and the Irish dogs known as the Old Family (Ireland) were imported to America. Those dogs were bred together to create the Pit Bull and Chauncey Bennett (United kennel Club) register them as the American Pit Bull terrier in 1898
Affirms all the stuff about dogs being family pets and especially family oriented. What a wonderful relationship your family has with the dogs and the dogs have with you. It's a blessing!
My pit can have the zoomies and as soon as he gets near my niece (18 months now) he slows alllll the way down. He’s always gentle with the kids. I wish he was that gentle with me lol
What a lucky little girl. She gets to be a Daddy's girl and momma's baby girl PLUS she has her big pupper siblings. They'll always protect her and love her. This is one lucky little girl.
Nova is a very open and gentle dog. There is no question that dogs hear our heart beating when they are in close contact with us. It's the same thing with the baby. He hears the heartbeat. I believe when introduced to the baby that Nova knew that little heartbeat had joined the world.
My golden retriever did the same thing when I was pregnant. When we brought her home he had to be near her all the time. He would sleep under her crib in our room, and have to be near her always. He would fall asleep with his head in my lap when I breastfed and rocked her to sleep…they are amazing animals! He was her best friend for years!
I’m not a pet person and this was the sweetest thing ever and the dog made my eyes tear up the way he was so over protective.🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's amazing how sweet pittbupls are. It's true that there are aggressive pit bulls (either because the owner wants an aggressive dog or because the owner doesn't have the ability to handle a particular dog), but I've seen thousands of pit bulls that just looked into their eyes and inspired you with sweetness. As a non-expert, I feel like saying that they are one of the most sensitive and attached breeds to human friends, but then I don't need to say it, look at how the child looks, look at his eyes. Incredibly sweet 😀
The top biters in the dog world are… the Dalmatian, the chihuahuas, the Pomeranian, and the dachshund. Put bulls rank way down the list but are stigmatized because of dog fighting and their size. Foolishness for sure as every pitty I’ve ever known was a love bug.
@@saragrant9749 - such a stupid comment. Those dogs might bite but they will LET GO. Pitbulls and pit mixes do not. They will maul until their prey is dead.
Bully breeds are so misunderstood. Nova is a wonderful example of the American Staffordshire Terrier's reputation for being a "nanny dog." Lilliana is fortunate to grow along with her pups. 🧡
I have a friend that had both a pit bull and a rottweiler at the same time that they were raising their 2 young kids. I had always been a little afraid of those breeds but these dogs were amazing. They were very gentle and protective, because they were raised well.
So lucky until she gets torn apart. You are sick. Anyone who keeps a pitbull is sick. Same thing happens to people who keep tigers. So sweet, so lovable...until the tragic day.
@@geekworthy7938 Could literally happen with any animal, my husky is waaaaay more likely to be aggressive than my cat-like pitbull that has never shown even a hint of aggression. You’re ill informed and living under a rock unfortunately.
@@ES11777 Had some bad experiences with a very large dog. Almost bit me. The owners were that kind that shouldn't own a dog. He got very aggressiv and he lived only two houses from mine. Every time i walked by he attacked me...
@@louisejohnson6057 its not the size thats scaring me, i think If the doggo stays still and doesnt bark its okay. But otherwise its really hard for me to stay calm. 🥺
Please be careful tho, having small kids round dogs. I am 100% pro dog, and I think that bully breeds are unfairly maligned, but even just this last week a baby was killed by a dog in my country. So just never put the dog or the child in that position.
I was thinking something similiar. This is not good animal handling. It has nothing to do with good or bad dogs, great dogs with no history of violence have killed babies and small children that triggered their prey drive. Especially when they are very excited, it just takes one mistake. I love big dogs and I would not be comfortable recreating this scenario.
If you're from the UK you're probably talking about this one. The Daily Mail article: "Merseyside Police said that officers destroyed the dog and are currently investigating whether the animal was an illegal breed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. They are also trying to track down the dog’s previous owner, they announced at a press conference outside the home. Locals claimed the animal was either a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or Pitbull Terrier." I'm apt to believe them. Once again a child loses their life. These poor parents probably watched channels like this one. The channels that refuse to include in their videos any sort of warning about the possible dangers of these dogs. To anybody who's going to use the standard response "it's not the dog's fault it's the owner's fault," please don't. My answer to that is simple dogs of all breeds have had bad owners, and yet pitbulls still remain far ahead of the competition for the most fatalities caused by a dog attack. Google it, pitbulls account for almost half of all fatal attacks by dogs.
@@rexrobo2512 More than half unfortunately, 76% of fatal dog attacks are from pitbulls. And the other 24% account for 360 dog breeds combined. That's a staggering red flag!
@@rexrobo2512 locals claims aren’t definitive proof of the breed. Many people mix up breeds and many mastiff crosses look like bully breeds. It’s impossible to know until the police publish the info. And pitbulls are actually on the list of banned breeds in the UK, only certain bulldog and bull terrier breeds are allowed including the much maligned staffie, which interestingly is one of only two breeds the RSPCA and Kennel Club list as suitable for families with young children. But you’re right, many RU-vid channels don’t give fair representation of dogs unpleasant or dangerous traits. Fact is, dogs shouldn’t be left around any vulnerable people. Just last year in the UK and 80 year old woman was killed by three dogs. And now this poor baby.
Amazing that some people still question whether dogs have feelings or whether they can understand the feelings of others. We've seen the proof of it for thousands of years.
it's amazing that people don't do their research and base their findings on their own exp. and little else, you want proof? google: pit attacks newborn lets see how sure you are about "dog feelings" then
