Dogs love their human kids ... and sometimes they like to try and take over as the parent. A typical day in the life of a dog who has human ones is a pretty busy one, and these dogs wouldn't have it any other way.

Some dogs will watch the kids the entire time they're asleep ...

This dog would like to remind you that blankets go ON TOP of babies, not under them. Does he have to teach you everything?

This dog is convinced his kid is way safer under the slide than on it ... that thing looks kind of flimsy.
