Wherever the toddler sits, the family dog settles in right beside her

Bosco’s favorite seat moves every time the family’s toddler does, and their older girl gets the same treatment.


“I thought I was adopting a dog…,” Bosco’s family admitted, before the punchline: they had really hired their toddler a security guard. Whether she sits on the bed, either couch or the recliner, Bosco settles in pressed against her, often with a front leg draped across her lap.

The toddler isn’t the only one who gets this treatment. Back in August, the family shared Bosco doing the same with their older girl, on the couch and at nap time, under the line “POV: you rescued a dog and now you’re never allowed to sit alone.”

Meet Bosco

  • He’s a rescue, and his family thinks he hasn’t forgotten it: “I think he knows she’s the reason he got to stay,” they wrote in August.
  • His family’s bio sums up the household’s pecking order: “It’s Bosco’s world, we’re just living in it!”

His family files it under “A full time job,” and Bosco works it lying down.
