Children often mirror their counterparts.
Most of the time it's the parents.
A little boy from America also sometimes imitates the family dog.
If children have the opportunity to grow up in a household with animals, this can bring many advantages.
Because they not only learn to take responsibility, but can also benefit in other ways.
How children interact with pets can have a positive effect on their self-confidence.
Even very special friendships are possible.
Many users are touched by a video on TikTok that shows a toddler in the presence of a four-legged friend.

The little boy's family includes dog Bentley.
A five year old poodle mix.
The two get along great and have been inseparable since birth.
"They've always been close.
They really love each other," the boy's mother told
Newsweek
.
In numerous videos on the TikTok channel "minidoodlebentley" she shows heartwarming family moments and the close bond between dog and child.
However, two clips stand out in particular.
They are titled "Signs Your Toddler Will Be Raised By a Dog" and show her son mimicking the behavior of dog Bentley.

Toddler grows up with a dog - "cuteness abounds"
Be it the anticipation of the meal, the joyful rocking motion when someone they love comes or the enthusiasm for dog toys in the shop.
What is completely normal for the dog Bentley, the child imitates, and dog language also seems to be fascinating for children.
