Whitney Parks, a 37-year-old woman from Boston, shared a heartwarming story about her one-year-old Golden Retriever, Hinckley, who was brought home as a new playmate for him. Initially, Hinckley believed that the baby, Theodore, born in October 2020, was a toy. However, as soon as Hinckley realized that Theodore was here to stay, he became his constant companion, sharing sleep, hugs, and meals together.
Whitney, a communications professional, revealed that Hinckley wants to be part of everything Theodore does, showcasing the true bond between dogs and humans.
"When we first brought Teddy home, Hinckley thought we had given him a new toy," Whitney said. "Considering he was the center of our universe for a year, I can understand why he believed that. During those early evenings when Teddy slept in his bassinet, Hinckley would watch his every move from our bed."
After a few days, Hinckley realized that Theodore was not a toy and was here to stay. From the moment Teddy arrived, Hinckley became fixated and wanted to be involved in all of his activities.
During tummy time, Teddy and Hinckley love to cuddle on the sofa or floor. Hinckley is present at every feeding, creating a special bonding time for all three of them.
"Sometimes, after Teddy finishes his bottle, Hinckley discreetly takes Teddy's dirty burp cloth, and I can't help but chuckle," Whitney said.
The adorable duo is destined to spend their entire lives together, and Whitney is thrilled that Theodore will grow up with his four-legged big sibling to protect him.
"My heart melts when I see them together; it's evident that Hinckley has assumed the role of the older sibling looking out for his younger sibling. I truly can't get enough of it," Whitney remarked.
She eagerly awaits the day when Teddy can interact more with Hinckley, so they can become best friends and embark on countless adventures together. Currently, Hinckley is cautious of Teddy's nature, but he recognizes that he is unique and must be protected.
