Finding a reliable child care assistant can be a nightmare for any new parent. But one family found the ultimate worker right inside their own living room. An adorable video from the popular Instagram handle @tubby_puggy shows how a dedicated Pug, Winnie, takes her babysitting duties too seriously. She has a very unique strategy to make sure her tiny human stays completely safe. And the internet is absolutely losing it over her hands-on parenting style.
Pug proves she’s a ‘professional babysitter’ with her actions
The Instagram reel starts on the patio where a baby is peacefully practicing his daily tummy time on a play mat. It looks like an ordinary day with an infant, except Winnie has decided to park her entire backend right on top of the baby’s backside. And she acts like this is completely normal behavior. Pugs are famously known for being incredibly affectionate shadow dogs who crave constant physical closeness. So, she just stares blankly up at the camera when her mom starts recording the scene.
The on-screen text calls her a professional babysitter. And the baby honestly does not care at all, either. He keeps hanging out on his mat while getting sat on. The funny video of the pug babysitting quickly went viral and racked up over 11k likes in less than 24 hours. The owner joked in the caption that the pug takes her babysitting duties very literally.
Fans are cracking up in the comments section over the tight security. One person joked that the baby is definitely not going anywhere on her watch. Another viewer commented that Winnie clearly has everything under total control.
According to their social media bio, Winnie and her Pug brother Tobias live their absolute best life in Tampa, Florida. Life has been a non-stop series of sweet moments since her human brother arrived. Another post shows the baby smiling happily while being flanked by his two protective pups. The mother noted in the caption of that post: “Nothing like watching your baby bond with your soul dogs.” And going by how seriously Winnie takes her job, that bond is only going to get stickier…we mean stronger.
