Ashley Shell and her husband were dog breeders with five German shepherds and an Estrela Mountain dog named Roman. Then they had a baby. River was born into a family that was mostly huge dogs, so it was no wonder they had an influence on her. She even modeled her behavior after the dogs! Now that River is two years old, she has matured from a wannabe dog to a caretaker, especially to her favorite dog Roman, and then with the foster puppies the family takes in. That caretaking attitude will be tested, because the family also now has a little boy, born just last month. You can keep up with River, Roman, and the family at Instagram.

Raised by Dogs

I always tell people that I was raised by a dog. Our dog would bring me food from the school trash nearby. Guess that is why I don't mind burnt toast ... and why I love dogs. :-)
I didn't watch the video as it had a young child in it.
But my advice to anyone interested would be 'ditch the baby, focus on having dogs only'.
They can all thank me later.
Yes, yes, we are all hard wired to love our offspring, but seriously, is it not true that there is always a dog that you love more ?
And remember, dogs are with us for a shorter time that your lumps of hodge podge DNA soup, so we are morally bound to treat them betterer.
