baby.

A couple of weeks ago we featured a video depicting a dog howling next to a crying baby. A lot of people gave the dog credit for "singing the baby to sleep." We posited that it seemed more like the dog was begging the infant to please just shut the heck up. What we have here is what genuinely seems like the world's most patient cat. Sure the cat wants this baby to pipe down, but it's remarkably gentle as it touches its furry paw to the distressed child's head, eventually lulling it to sleep. Cats may not be as friendly as dogs, but they're cool under pressure. ...

Run! Hide! Lock your doors and your windows, because there's a vicious, bloodthirsty Yorkshire terrier puppy on the loose! Don't be fooled by his cuddly appearance; he'll turn his love nibbles on you no matter who you are. Men, woman, children, even infants: it makes no difference to this beast. He will attack you just the same. BEWARE OF DOG! ...

" Hey! Hey! Hey! Hi! Hi, I'm the dog! I'm your dog! I'm the family dog! Hey, it's really nice to meet you! Do you wanna play? Hey, do you wanna play with me? Let's play! Here's my ball! Hey, here's my ball! Here, take my ball! Throw the ball! Hey, throw the ball! Hey, throw my ball! Hey! Hey! OK, I'll wait a while until your brain starts making memories and your physical coordination kicks in and then you and me are gonna be best friends! Hey, you and me are gonna be best friends forever! I love you!" ...

Here's a baby who gets what dogs really want. "Animals just don't like me," some people whine. That's probably because those people can't figure out what this baby already understands: If you want to make friends with an animal, feed it. That's it. Just feed it. Give a dog a snack and you'll have a pal for life. The flip side of this is that whenever you want to eat your own snack, your peckish pooch is going to want a taste. That's why when this baby grows up into a young lady, she's going to wonder why she can't ever enjoy some potato chips or baby carrots without the dog bothering her to drop one under the table. This memory will be long gone by then, and she won't understand that it's ...

We don't tend to laugh at pugs or French bulldogs who snore, because we understand that the countless years of selective breeding that ingrained those breathing problems in the breeds are a lot sadder than they are funny. However, an infant doesn't understand those concepts, so it's free to laugh at a snoring French bulldog as long as it wants. Because, OK, snoring is pretty funny. ...

Remember when Harper wouldn't stop singing at that zoo lion, so it ambled over and made one "shut up, kid" jump up at the class enclosure, and the kid got so frightened he immediately started crying? Baby Trent here is not so easily startled. In fact, Trent is so completely unfazed by the lioness that is desperately trying to eat him, he's either the most strong-willed baby who's ever lived, or the most oblivious. I know he's young, but there must be some primal part of him screaming "Danger! Danger!" to his central nervous system, right? For the first moments of this video, we tried to convince ourselves that maybe, maybe the lion was just playing with Trent, like that Sea World otter. But ...
