She thought she was one of the dogs when she was a baby. But now that she's two, she takes care of them ❤️

00:01River!
00:03Wait! No, no! No, no!
00:08As soon as she started crawling, she would follow them around and copy them.
00:14She would put her hands in their water bowl and try to drink it if I wasn't careful.
00:19Yuck!
00:20And would try to eat their food.
00:22Wait, that's for dogs.
00:24I'm sorry. You don't have any food.
00:28She also loved getting in their crates.
00:30River!
00:31No.
00:32Then she started walking and she got sneaky.
00:35I caught her figuring out how to open the latch to their crates, so she just lets them out now whenever she wants.
00:44Sometimes I think she thinks she's a dog.
00:49It's time for bed.
00:51What are you doing?
00:53What are you doing?
00:55Good night. See you in the morning.
00:58Come on, do you see the baby?
01:00For the first few months, we had a baby gate up so that they could smell her and hear her.
01:06We took the process slow with introductions.
01:10Our dogs have done a really good job with being gentle with her, and she's never left unattended with them.
01:15Her favorite dog seems to be Roman.
01:18He's the friendliest dog.
01:22He's just a big clumsy goofball.
01:25He also tries to hurt her when she tries to wander off.
01:28When she first started talking, she called him Bada because she couldn't say Roman, and now she can talk pretty well, but she still calls him Bada.
01:43We have stuffed animals of all the dogs, and Romans is always the first one she goes to get.
01:51It's as big as she is, but she went through a phase where she wanted it everywhere with her.
02:06She's two now, and instead of acting like her dogs, she likes to take care of them.
02:11Let's get in the bowl.
02:17This is kai kai.
02:19Yeah, it is.
02:21Good job.
02:23Gently.
02:25Come on, I love it!
02:27Good boy, man.
02:29We don't breed anymore, and have recently really gotten into fostering puppies.
02:34I love seeing River fall in love with these rescues.
02:37She's so good and gentle with them.
02:41She's great at respecting their space and reading body language.
02:49And she gives them treats anytime she can, so they really like her.
02:54Dogs learn how to be calm around children.
02:58And it teaches kids responsibility and empathy.
03:02Not to mention, babies in pet homes tend to have better immune systems.
03:06Dogs generally are a kid's first best friend.
03:12And it's so wonderful to see their relationship develop over time into something beautiful.
03:16And it's so beautiful.
03:17I love you.
03:18I love you.
03:19I love you.
