Babies and dogs make an adorable combination.

Of course, it’s important to know your dog well and keep a close eye on interactions between children and animals, both of which can be unpredictable.

While some people who have watched this viral video have warned that things could have gone wrong, the majority of its over 200,000 viewers found the interaction between a toddler and her German Shepherd heartwarming.

The parents posted the video to Viral Hog with the description:

“This is my daughter, Quinn, and our white German Shepherd, Larry. Larry is 9 months older than Quinn and has been obsessed with her since we brought her home. He’s always licking her hands and letting her climb all over him, but I’ve never allowed him to lick her face, though he tries all the time. Quinn finally decided that she wanted kisses from Larry, and I think Larry was hesitant to oblige since I was right there. Eventually, he couldn’t hold out any longer, so Quinn finally got her puppy kisses.”

The San Antonio, Texas family caught the video footage in January while filming the two playing together.

While Larry is just a puppy himself, he looks pretty chill in the moment and not terribly willing to engage in kisses.

Quinn starts out by giving him a nose bump and a couple of face-to-face love taps.

The baby squeals with delight as the dog blinks up at her quietly.

Once the toddler sits back, Larry gets up from his comfortable slipper, stretches, and moves towards her, ready to return the affection.

He puts two paws on her legs and gently nudges her back on the nose, much to her delight.

Of course, parents can’t expect all dogs to react this way and pet owners are often warned to keep a close eye on animals and children, especially small ones who can make sudden movements, loud noises, or pull hair and scare dogs into acting out unexpectedly.

German Shepherds sometimes get a bad rap because they are often trained for police and military use as well as home protection, making them seem more aggressive than they are. But, in fact, they are very dependable family dogs if trained and socialized properly. They are not only gentle but can be fierce protectors of their families.

According to the American Kennel Club, they are very intelligent as well that make excellent companions that are easily trained.

While white German Shepherds like Larry are less common than the black and brown type, the dogs are the same breed and have all the same characteristics, except color. Some say that the white version of the dog has a calmer demeanor.
