Unlikely yet Adorable Duo: The Heartwarming Tale of a Toddler and a Gentle Giant
My 2-year-old daughter loves the large Great Pyrenees dog Chouchou (from Chouchou, who lives in the mountains @chouchou_the_g)
Many people are captivated by the sight of a large dog playing with a small child, and it has become popular on social media. A video of a 2-year-old happily hugging a large, fluffy dog has received comments such as “Just like Heidi and Josef.” Meanwhile, a video of a 5-year-old showing no reaction to a standard poodle playing furiously right behind him has been viewed 7 million times. Let’s look back at the stories we heard from the mothers of the two groups watching over the situation.

◆The play between a large dog and a 2-year-old child is the most soothing experience: “My happiness has increased many times over.”
A 2-year-old girl covers her large dog, Shushu, who is lying on the floor and hugs her comfortably. The video, titled “A 2-year-old stuck in a fluffy swamp and unable to escape,” received comments such as “The best relaxing time,” “Just watching it heals me,” and “This kind of life is really wonderful.”
The Shushu family lives in the mountains with a large dog named Shushu, a Great Pyrenees dog, Muumu, an Old English Sheepdog, and a small dog, Bibi, a toy poodle. It is said that her daughter’s strength is different.
“I’m not saying that they’re strong against super-large dogs, but they seem to understand like a 2-year-old that if they dive with their whole body, it might be painful for small dogs.”
When she was born, her daughter was the youngest and had to be protected from the dogs, but “when it senses danger, the giant dog (who is the same height as her mother) tries to protect her, so she feels like she has to be protected.” “She seems to think so,” and now that she is recognized as the owner, she has started to follow her daughter.
Currently, we have a large dog puppy living with us, so we are teaching him that he is still a puppy and doesn’t know how much pressure to use, and that “it’s different from a scrunchie.” When it comes to living with young children and dogs, he says, “Puppies are still very aggressive, so I tell my daughter to touch them gently when they’re calm, and to stay away from them when they’re excited.” I often put it on.
Compared to when she only had small dogs, life with a giant dog is much harder and busier. On the other hand, she said, “My happiness has increased many times over. I am filled with gratitude for the environment we have now, where we can go to various places and make many memories together.”
◆My son doesn’t mind the dogs’ fierce play: “This is normal for this child.”
Standard poodles Raul and Xavi are always playing with each other. My 5-year-old son didn’t show any reaction even though the two were playing vigorously right behind him, and I said, “He doesn’t move at all lol” “It’s cute that he doesn’t move at all” “She’s the smallest, but she’s the biggest!” Comments such as “He looks like a big brother lol” were received.
The mother says, “I thought, ‘This is probably normal for this child,’ so I took pictures of his daily life,” as her son didn’t seem to be bothered at all. When we met the dogs for the first time, we quickly got to know each other.
“When I first met my son, he was only one year old, so I didn’t really understand the prospect of having another dog.But in addition to these two, I also have a toy poodle, and I had one since before my son was born. For my son, it has been natural for him to have a dog in his life since he was born, and I think he has accepted it naturally from the beginning.”
Since they were little, they have been fighting over toys and growing up like real siblings.
“My son is very curious, but he is an indoor type, playful, and sociable.Raul works at his own pace, is more of a cat type, and mostly sleeps.Xavi, on the other hand, is “The! dog! ! “She’s such an innocent friend.”
When she looks back on her life with dogs, she sometimes feels glad for her children.
“Animals are just like people, they have feelings, they can feel pain, they can be unpleasant, they can be happy, and they’re just like you!” It came naturally to me.”
