“I think people just want to see heartwarming stuff these days as a break from what’s going on in reality,” said Jessica and Alex, who are also parents to their baby boy Theo and two other dogs, Charley and Shea.
The pair, who frequently post on the Instagram account using the hashtag “three doods and a baby," said Theo cuddles like this often, usually with “one of the three pups for a 15-30 minute nap a day.” Jessica and Alex said this arrangement started when Theo was around three months old.
“Samson used to cuddle his bear,” they said. “Sweet to see him cuddle our baby now.”
