Between her newborn set of triplets and her very enthusiastic mini Goldendoodle, it’s obvious that mom Lauren Barnes is running a full house.
Basically, Lauren’s got her hands full.
Thankfully, though, she’s not having to tough it out entirely alone.
Her Goldendoodle Sunny is there for her every step of the way in this journey.
Barnes began documenting her life as a mom of triplets on TikTok, as well as her Goldendoodle’s interaction with them.
One of these videos ended up having a major “awwww” factor and went viral.
Barnes shared the video with Storyful, where it was viewed 3 million times on their Facebook page.
Apparently, Sunny absolutely adores the three new babies, which is evident from the video.
They were just 2 months old.
The video shows Sunny affectionately attending to each of the three newborns who are nestled in doughnut pillows.
The babies are lined up on the couch behind one another while Sunny stands on an ottoman.
He leans to kiss baby 1.
He looks over the middle baby to make sure everything is OK with that baby and just sniffs around a bit because we know how good babies smell.
Now it’s time to take a look at baby number three. Sunny leans all the way over standing on his tippy toes to give the baby a sniff over and a little kiss.
And he looks VERY happy doing so with his big fluffy tail wagging wildly.
One commenter on YouTube joked that Sunny looked surprised that humans have “litters” too.
“Dogs are so precious when they are not abused or taught to be mean or fight. This is a very precious video,” said another commenter.
“It’s official, they’re hers too. She’ll be living out her days babysitting for these 3 munchkins,” and another.
They’ve got Sunny on the hook.
Sunny’s not the only sucker for kids.
“Our dog sleeps at my 6-year-old son’s feet every night. She’s been doing that ever since he was a baby. She’s so protective of him, probably because he’s the youngest of our children. Something tells me this doggy will do the same,” one commenter said.
Doodle Tips reports that it’s very common for Goldendoodles to get along well with children.
They are known to have a patient and gentle nature and get along well with other animals and children when properly socialized.
Goldendoodles will serve as loyal and protective friends to children and are also hypoallergenic.
They’re pretty much perfect.
“Goldendoodles are good with children and babies, and the gentle and loving nature of the Goldendoodle is legendary,” Doodle Tips explains. “Common sense should be exercised, though. If your Goldendoodle is full-sized, then precautions should be in place to ensure that an exuberant puppy doesn’t accidentally injure the child.”
Best of all, Goldendoodles are incredibly easy to train. So, it’s no great wonder they’re such a “perfect fit” in most families.
