From Megan: “Zephyr, he is Ed’s old mutt’s puppy. Ed had his DNA analyzed and he is Husky, German Shepherd and Collie. He’s now a very sweet big brother to baby Aliana!”
Aliana was born in our home (on purpose), and before she even took her first breath in the outside world, he was right next to us. We’re pretty sure he didn’t sleep for four straight days, watching her at all times and sleeping under her bassinet.
Now, at almost 17 months, she loves to crawl all over him, chase him around the house and share HIS bed with him!”

What a good dog! A good looking dog too! Such a perfectly lovely family. I am so glad Zephyr loves his new baby sister!
Jess says
That is so sweet! It is amazing how dogs just intuitively know when things are changing and when to be protective. What a special bond he has with all of his humans!

Aliana and Zephyr are going to be the best of buds – and I love how Zephyr just knew something was different when the baby was ‘on the way’! What a beautiful story!
Kama says
This family is amazing! So many expecting couples worry about having a dog and a baby, and instead this family made their dog feel like he was a part of the experience and change. Wonderful!
Sweet Purrfections says
Wonderful photos and proof that babies and pets can coexist happily.
Greta says
I love seeing dogs as older siblings! They love the new babies so much!

Kathi says
Wow such a cute story! I came across it because I was looking up possible mixes for my foster fail dog (turned Love of Our Lives!). Our dog is almost identical to Zephyr! I’d be interested in finding out more about this dog’s heritage to help decipher my own dog’s amazingness.
