Contrary to what some people think, dogs and kids can mix. That is, of course, with proper training and supervision. Families with pets love how kids can easily get along with dogs, and how dogs in turn actually lend a hand in watching out for the little ones. If you’re still not convinced, the internet has a plethora of heartwarming videos that will pretty much shift your perspective.

In fact, here’s a cute story of a Labrador Retriever meeting her human baby sister for the first time.

This is Stella, and she’s a real sweetheart.

She may be used to having all the love and attention to herself, but she was more than eager to share that with her new sibling.

See, Stella is such a happy dog with a big heart.

Like most Labradors, she loves playing outdoors, being cuddled, and just simply giving her family joy.

Stella’s mom writes,

“March 14, 2017 was a huge day for Stella. She finally got to meet her 2-day-old baby sister, who was brought home during the appropriately named ‘Winter Storm Stella.’ Stella is one happy Lab, and she even got a little case of the zoomies for the first time since her bilateral TPLO surgery months ago! Stella is back! And her family has grown by 1.”

Stella was beyond herself with excitement.

She wanted so badly to peep at the little baby sleeping in the carrier that she’d try to squeeze in between spaces and poke her nose near her baby sister.
