They say that a dog can essentially be part of the family, and this is broadly true. While a dog cannot talk, they can learn to be part of the family ecosystem. They protect our children, look after our homes, and enjoy time with the family. However, not everyone can say their dog is close enough to literally be considered a brother or sister to a child. However, a recent heartfelt story saw a family turn their dog into a literal brother for their newborn baby.
This adorable story saw Marshall, a wonderful Golden Retriever, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his ‘sister’ after the mother gave birth to little Macy. The moment that Marshall met Macy, a moment of pure unbridled joy, was shared on social media. Marshall’s social media account is pretty popular, and his meeting with Macy sent followers' hearts into meltdown mode.
His excitement to see Macy was hard to contain, and ever since she first came into the house he has been there for her. He does not leave her side, and they spend as much time together as a brother and sister would. With over 17,000 followers on the account, people loved to see what these siblings were getting up to on a daily basis.
From jumping into the bathtub together to enjoying little days out, they are a genuine brother and sister combination. In fact, most parents would love it if human brothers and sisters could enjoy the kind of relationship these two do!
They have numerous photos out there, and you can find their enigmatic and charming smiles bring a smile to your own face. If you want to see a pure example of how a dog can be truly part of the family, then this is going to be the perfect place to start. Show this to anyone unsure about how a dog can integrate at home, and you might just change their minds on dog ownership!
