Wiener Dog Has Gentle First Sniff of His Tiny Puppy Son

A new dachshund dad had a very gentle first encounter with his newborn son at home in Fort Worth, Texas.

Footage recorded by dachshund breeder Bethany Franco shows the moment Cooper met newborn Dorito.

Cooper can be seen gently sniffing the tiny puppy, who squeaks in response.

“I showed my one-week-old puppy to its dad to get his reaction. It actually was super-sweet how gentle he was with him,” Franco said.

Dorito is one of three puppies comprising the most recent litter of Cooper and Lulu of Texas Dachshunds, born on July 31. Credit: Bethany Franco via Storyful
