Shepherd dog fools around with baby: how the girl reacts melts millions of hearts

Scotland - Could it get any cuter? Koda the sheepdog goes to great lengths every day to make the newest member of the family laugh.

In a video shared by his owner, Megan Coyle, on her TikTok account, her six-month-old daughter can be seen sitting on the floor in the living room. The child's eyes are fixed on the family dog .

The dog jumps around in front of the baby, runs around the room and hastily jumps towards the girl - only to immediately turn around and repeat his jumping sequence.

The little girl watches the four-legged friend attentively the whole time, even seems confused when he runs through the room and starts laughing heartily every time the animal comes running towards her again.

Every few rounds, Koda even presses kisses to the girl's face, which only makes her giggle even louder.

One thing is certain: the child is absolutely thrilled by the performance and Megan can't help but be infected by her daughter's laughter. The sight of this animal friendship is far too cute.

Within just a few days, the video had already been viewed more than 16.3 million times. And while most people reacted enthusiastically to the baby giggling, a few users didn't seem to like the video.

Some thought it was irresponsible that the dog was allowed to lick the child's face. Megan and her husband are bad parents, according to others.

Comments that the young woman did not want to put up with. Without further ado, she switched off the function under the video.

To respond to the criticism, she finally shared a second clip of her favorites.

"Thank you for your concern," Megan wrote. "The baby is fine and all limbs are still attached ... The baby is in perfect health."
