Paws Off! Dog Won't Let Texas Mom Touch Her Newborn Baby

An overprotective puppy refused to let his owner touch her newborn baby, as captured in a viral TikTok video taken on August 5 in Fort Worth, Texas.

In this video taken by new mom Eryn Ferguson-Billings, her 8-month-old dog Toby repeatedly moves her hand away from the baby, either with his paw or mouth. Three-month-old baby girl Zaine, meanwhile, seems oblivious to the epic power struggle unfolding inches away from her.

“Toby loves his tiny human,” Ferguson-Billings wrote in the video’s caption, accompanied by the hashtag #BestFriendsForever. Credit: Eryn Ferguson-Billings via Storyful
