Many of us think of dogs as part of our family. So why wouldn’t we be comfortable leaving our children with them? Well, the following photos show some dogs may not want to be their new baby sibling’s babysitter.

Too Close For Comfort?

After My Own Heart

“I don’t care if you have a bib that says ‘Mommy Loves Me.’ I’m just glad you like taking naps at the same time I do.”

Confused

The Bump
“So, what’s this thing called, you say? A baby? And what does it do, exactly?”

Stamp Of Approval

Waiting

Curious

“What’s this thing you got there? Can I smell it? Ooh, it smells like milk! Is it milk?”

Defective

“Erm, why’s it crying? I’m not doing anything, I swear! I think it’s broken, you should take it back to the store.”

Staring

Face To Face

“Hi there, little human. How’s it going? You’re so small and soft! I’m soft, too. Wanna feel my rolls? I just got a bath the other day!”

Get It Off Me

Dog Loving Baby

Underwhelmed

“This is it? This is what you’ve been fussing over for the last nine months? Geeze, Brenda, you sure got me excited over nothing.”

Not Satisfied

Reddit/Areyouseriousno
“I don’t know, Kevin. This new pillow you brought me is fine, but you could have done better. It’s not as soft as my last one and it moves!”

So Over It

Outnumbered

“Look, I’m not happy you didn’t tell me you were bringing two human pups home. But at least we all fit on the couch together. Otherwise, there’d be hell to pay!”

Hilarious

“Mommy, Mommy? What’s going on? Don’t leave me alone with this beast with bad breath! What if it wants to eat me?”

Who Cares

Rexpetfood
“Why are you putting this in front of me? It’s too big for me to eat, and it’s not soft and chewy like the toys I like. Why are you wasting my time, Louise?”

Taste Test

Scary Baby

Not Impressed

“I don’t get what the big deal is. All this thing does is sleep all day. I do that too. Why did you have to go and get another one?”

Responsible Dog

Brittany Lauren Creates
“Are you sure it’s a good idea to leave it on the bed like that? It hasn’t even been house trained! Don’t come looking at me when it makes a mess!”

Eager Pup

Peas In A Pod

Reddit/Juice_newton

Take It Back

No Personal Space
