Cute yes. Wise to let a dog lick a newborn right on the kisser? Debatable at best.

I'm sure that baby is very clean.

Will my baby come out really ugly if I look at an ugly baby and ugly dogs?

Are you sure that's a baby? He looks like Winston Churchill.

Of course, the next morning, the baby was gone.

27 dogs that will do anything for kids.

I can't even process this.

1. ALL babies look like Churchill.

2. It would have been better with 3 pictures of 11 puppies, instead of 11 pictures of 3 puppies.

Puppy gob is not going to harm the baby any more than baby gob is going to harm the puppy, any more than a cat is going to smother an infant.

Because I have NoScript enabled, the only pictures that popped up on that page were of Harry Reid, the Chechen guys and the Unabomber. Not the desired effect.

Not all babies look like Winston Churchill. In fact most of them look like random Soviet apparatchiks.

If I was the National Security Advisor, I would pull this kind of thing all the time.

Now I want a cute baby. I've acquired some in the past, but they keep growing into children. Seems to be a design flaw.

Only 3 puppies, but enough skin for 5 or 6 puppies at least. Why are they so smooshy???

That's interesting. My baby (who is VERY CUTE) is about the same age as that baby.

My reaction to the photographs was GET THEM THE FUCK AWAY FROM (THE/MY) BABY NOW!!!!

Clearly not the parents' reaction though. Ah well, we are all different! The little one in the pictures is clearly very contented.

If they were fully inflated, they wouldn't all fit in the frame.

This is with no rancor or eyerolling or anything like that, just pure curiosity- why?

Maybe alasdair's baby is allergic to squee.

Oh, no rational basis - merely my emotional reaction! These pictures make me very uncomfortable and unhappy. I'm not aware of any antipathy to dogs, but clearly I don't like them round babies like this.

Oh, now, a child was killed by dogs in the last month in my part of the country: maybe I've internalised stories like that without realising it? Interesting.

puppies have very sharp teeth but they're also the softest and smell amazing

I feel like the post makes it very clear what this is so I'm curious why you clicked on it.

Yes, and then they grow into teenagers! My son and my dog grew up together, and I've always sort of wondered how dogs (or pets in general) process how the little kid they used to hang out with grows bigger and bigger until he's no longer a kid. I know my dog recognizes my son as who he is now, but every now and then my dog would stop during our walks and look intently at a boy who resembles what my son used to look like at a certain age. But maybe I'm reading into it too much.

Yes it is interesting alasdair - my baby is about the same age too, and I didn't have that reaction at all. More like I couldn't stop squeeing! I know what you mean though, our reactions around certain things can surprise us at times.

Now please excuse me while I make #1 my new desktop wallpaper.

I know the whole boiling a frog slowly thing is a myth, but I think it's pretty much that. Dogs don't have much sense of time (they're excited when you come home because you're with them now and therefore forever, and they're distraught when you leave because they have never been anything but horribly, utterly alone!) and people look the same day to day. It's only over a longer period that a person looks different.

What Pope Guilty said, with the added observation that they appear to have no concept of their own growth. A 45lb dog will insist he can fit on your lap exactly the same as he could when he was a 4lb puppy, you know? Growth for both humans and dogs is so gradual, relatively speaking.
