Corgi Turns to Baby for Comfort After Being Scared of Storm and the Tot Totally Delivers

It’s easy to understand why thunderstorms are such a common fear among pets. It can be very loud, and to a dog, they’re probably very often unexpected. Since they can’t quite understand what’s going on (or when it’s going to be over), it’s no wonder they can be a bit scary. All dogs figure out their own ways to cope, though — like hiding under the bed until the storm passes, or snuggling up next to their favorite human for protection.

And then, there are storm-fearing dogs like the Corgi in the video below, who turned to a pretty unusual source of comfort once the rain started up.

On Sunday, March 9, @atlarchiethecorgi on TikTok shared the way her dog, Archie, went straight to his baby brother — an actual human baby — for comfort when the storm outside started freaking him out.

Poor Archie is so scared that he’s visibly shaking, but he’s got his head in his baby brother’s lap, and fortunately, this little one seems to understand his duty. While he sucks his thumb with one hand, he’s petting his dog with the other. This is real love, folks.

“When your dog is afraid of storms but now has a new comfort buddy,” their mom wrote in the video.

These two are lucky to have each other!

Are Corgis Good With Babies?

It’s clear to see from the video above that this baby is clearly Archie the Corgi’s emotional support human. But not all dogs will be quite so quick to decide they like a baby – let alone love them the way that Archie does!

But are Corgis good with babies and kids in general? Of course, it’s going to depend so much on the individual dog’s personality and training, but Corgis are typically a pretty good breed to have around children. As Native Pet points out, these dogs are known for being affectionate pets. Another thing they have going for them? Their high energy levels, which are great for running around outside and keeping up with the kids.

However, if you know your Corgi will be living with kids and/or babies, it’s very important to make sure they’re well socialized — and to keep in mind that above all else, these are herding dogs, and those instincts could take over and lead to a little one getting nipped.

The site also points out that Corgi’s defensive nature may cause clashes with children who don’t understand, and that they’re rather loud… just make sure baby’s got a good sound machine in the room where they’re napping!
