The emotional intelligence of dogs is often underestimated. Society commonly believes that animals lack the emotional capacity and understanding that humans possess, but this is far from the truth. Those who have had pets are well aware of how emotionally sensitive and intuitive they can be, not only towards us but also towards the world surrounding them.
A heartwarming video captured by a dog owner expecting a baby exemplifies this emotional connection. The video shows the dog named Penelope cuddling with her owner’s baby bump. It is evident that the small dog is aware of the pregnancy and the presence of another life inside her owner. Penelope’s unborn sister is already cherished deeply by her furry sibling.
Penelope resides with her pet parent Juliana and her family. Juliana, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, was moved to tears observing the awareness and excitement Penelope displayed towards the pregnancy. Ever since Penelope figured it out, she has become extra affectionate.
Juliana managed to capture another adorable video of Penelope attempting to snuggle with the unborn baby by cuddling up against her swollen belly. The video showcases Penelope’s gentle touch, as she gently places her paw and then her head on Juliana’s stomach, seemingly wanting to get closer to the baby inside. Undoubtedly, Penelope can hear the second heartbeat inside. She spends her time cuddling the bump. The video quickly went viral, and it is clear that Penelope already loves her unborn sister so much that she tries to cuddle her through her mom’s belly. She eagerly anticipates becoming a big sister.
