Watching a friendship grow from day one is a rare kind of magic. And in this clip, Leila, a chocolate Labrador, and her human brother Lincoln are proving that some things never change. This pair from @sugarrushtails in Central Illinois has the internet feeling very emotional lately. And that’s because this sweet dog and little boy showed just how little their cuddle routine has changed since his baby days.
Dog and little boy grew up together, but little changed about the way they cuddle
The video starts with a throwback to Lincoln’s newborn days. He is wrapped in a blanket and sleeping peacefully on the couch. Right beside him is Leila, already pressed close, claiming her new favorite spot. She rests her snout on his tiny shoulder; they are almost cheek to cheek. Her face actually looks bigger than half of his tiny infant body in this shot.
Leila looks sleepy, her eyes following the camera as it moves slightly. Then the in-video text warns viewers not to blink, because in the next clip, we get to see how they look today. Even though time has passed, the exact same position remains their favorite for napping. The dog and little boy cuddle like he is still a baby.
Leila still rests her snout on Lincoln’s shoulder while they both dream away. It is the ultimate before-and-after for any animal and baby lover. Dogs really do settle into family rhythms in a way that feels incredibly natural, especially breeds known for being gentle and attached to their people. The owner mentions in the caption that one day they are tiny and the next they are running together.
Dogs and kids share a level of unconditional love that is hard to put into words. This specific video has already pulled in 5.3k likes from fans. One commenter mentioned that these two have officially broken the internet. Another person called them the best cuddle buddies. It is clear that these two pure souls were meant to be best friends.
