Little Dog Realizes There's a Baby in Mom's Belly and Reacts Like a Jealous Kid
Jealousy isn't a good look — unless you're a tiny little dog learning that your mama is pregnant for the first time. Video of the pup in question, Willow, coming to terms with her parents' good news has gone viral. She had the cutest little meltdown we've ever seen.
Willow was really going through it when she finally put two and two together.
She may not have noticed her mom's growing belly. But in a video shared by her owner it shows the pup finally connecting the dots. You can see it all coming together in Willow's head. And we can confidently say she didn't like what was happening one bit.

"You mad that there's a baby in there?" Her dad said from off-camera. "You just figure it out?"
Heck yeah Willow was mad. She even started barking. But don't worry, Mom was there to calm her down.
"You're still a baby," she promised.
Commenters were laughing so hard. "She said 'ain't nobody told me nothin,'" commented one person. "Lol omgggg she’s like I KNOW YOU HEAR ME IN THERE! I CAME FIRST OK!" someone else teased. "Oh she got attitude too. She’s like who dis right here?!?!" another commenter added. "She’s probably saying, nobody notified [me about] this or asked for my permission," chimed in one commenter.
Getting Your Dog Ready for Baby
Dogs like consistency. They like getting up at the same time and getting fed at the same time every day. But a baby will totally mess with any sense of sameness in your home. That's why it's best to start preparing your dog for the change before baby comes.
When decorating your nursery, go slow. Make small changes as your dog gets used to their varying environment. You'll also want to install baby gates, if you already haven't, so that when your baby is here you don't have to manage a jumping dog while trying to care for your infant.
Another big change are the sounds and smells of a newborn. Babies are noisy! Get your dog used to their cries and whines using a recording. Start the video on low volume and gradually let the noise get louder. You'll also want to expose them to the scent of diapers and baby creams so that won't surprise them either.
The key here is to start training your dog early. You want things to be as easy as possible when the time comes.
