Holly adopted a beautiful little boy named Marcelo, who was terrified of dogs. He screamed if a dog came near him. The problem was: the family already included Mini, a senior Chihuahua. Mini took an immediate interest in her new human brother (even during bath time!)
Holly screamed if a dog came near him. She gave the boy space to trust her but never relented. She’d follow him around in a gentle pursuit and when she was finally able to approach Marcelo closely, she graced him with a loving kiss. The boy was absolutely delight!
Where Marcelo goes, Mini follows. When Marcelo got sick, the pup didn’t leave his side for a minute. She was so worried about him. Mini’s unwavering love helped Marcelo acclimate to his new family and also taught him that dogs are the best!
Marcelo loves playtime and he always include his Mimi. She loves to chill with Marcelo on the hammock, go with him on car rides, and read books with her adorable brother. The two are inseparable! Thank you, Mini, for teaching Marcelo that dogs are special, just like he is! Check them out together in the video below!

I like how the mother respects and acknowledges the dog's wisdom and the child's vulnerability. Personhood is not only for humans
