Dogs are great for toddlers. Not only are they gentle with small children, but they can also teach toddlers a lot of life lessons that we might not even realize at first.

Teaching them respect and boundaries, it’s great for a toddler to have exposure to a dog. Especially a German shepherd, which is known for being extremely intelligent.

It makes sense that dogs and children would get along well. That’s certainly true for this relationship between Loki the shepherd and Tallulah the toddler. Both are highly playful, curious, and of course, adorable.

Loki seems to be a professional at cheering up the young child. Loki can always make Tallulah burst out in laughter by giving out big sloppy kisses and being playful.

The toddler has also offered some life lessons for Loki. Before Tallulah came around, Loki was somewhat disobedient and did what he wanted when he felt like it.

Turning Loki into a big brother, he has taken on an entirely new life mentality. He sees raising the child as his personal mission and does everything to accomplish this.

Completely changing Loki’s life, Tallulah has proven to be an excellent teacher for the German shepherd, all at such a young age. It’s incredible to see what we can learn from animals like Loki.
