Family Rescues Abandoned Puppy And He Forms The Cutest Friendship With Baby Boy

Not long ago, the Shyba family brought home the newest member of their family, an abandoned 7-week-old puppy named Theo. Just three days after Jessica Shyba introduced Theo to her family, something magical happened.

Jessica says, “We brought him home at a very young 7 weeks. He had been abandoned as a baby with his 10 other siblings, and even 10 days later he still seems like a brand new baby. He always wants to be near one of us, either in our laps or at our feet. Theo, as we have started calling him, has gotten feistier as the days go by, which I like to think is a sign that he is getting more and more comfortable in his new home.”




“We don’t know much about what to expect, as we were given a vague description of his breed; He is part Boxer, part shepherd, and part labrador retriever. It doesn’t matter much to me. He is Theo, and he is our new beloved puppy brother.”

“Each day, Theo meets us at naptime and waits patiently for Beau to fall asleep. By that time, he’s also sleepy, so when I hoist him onto our bed, he stumbles over to Beau and plops right down on top of him. And there they sleep, entwined, for at least two hours,” says Jessica.

Below are my favorite photos and videos from Jessica’s Instagram account.

“Their bond was so immediate, but also almost unbelievable. Brings tears to my eyes.”

“We adopted Theo, but in a way we were all rescued,”

Watch to the end of this video for a cute little surprise!




“love is their common denominator.”




Family naps are just as adorable!

And sometimes Theo likes cuddling with just his little human sister too.

“Everything is more fun when your BFF is involved.”





The difference 10 weeks makes. Left is a photo of Theo and Beau just when they started napping together, and right is a recent photo of the two cuties. Look at how much Theo has grown! Jessica writes, “Hard to believe it’s only been 10 weeks.”

And in November 2014, a new family member arrived – baby Evvie.
