Babysitting dog loves his little sister so much and it's just way too cute

Many children and dogs grow up together to form long-lasting relationships. However, in the case of Charlie the Beagle, his family responsibilities have gone above and beyond just basic companionship. This dog is a live-in nanny who devotes all his time and love to one little girl.
Three-year-old Charlie is a beagle who lives in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. His owners, Julia Kolpakova and Daniel Drzewiecki, bought Charlie from a farmer and quickly noticed the dog's instant affection for their newborn daughter, Laura Olivia. They began a video diary, filming the interactions between dog and child from the very beginning of their relationship together.

“We taught our dog how to play keyboard, how to change traffic lights and how to swing a baby crib, but we never had to teach him how to love our daughter,” says Kolpakova.
The couple began a YouTube channel where they posted the videos, and Charlie became an internet sensation.
From the moment they first met, Charlie and Laura Olivia hit it off. “She smiles when she sees Charlie, we don’t know what she’s thinking but we know she likes him. From the beginning he was beside her all the time. Everyone could still play with her but he would protect her,” Kolpakova said of Laura Olivia as a newborn.
The family videos also show a beagle who is smarter than your average dog. Charlie can close cabinet doors on command, as well as bringing the television remote and a can of beer to his owners on the couch. He even recently won Best Hunt Dog at the Ennis Dog Show!
As Laura Olivia has grown up, Charlie has been a constant guardian and companion at her side.
The family added a new member over the last few months, a beagle puppy named Lily. She has some pretty big paws to fill, but just as he did with Laura Olivia, Charlie has taken Lilly under his wing to mentor and care for her.
