Your dog can be just as much part of the family as a child can be.
Add a newborn baby into the mix and things could get a little confusing for your pet.
That was the view of these new parents who filmed a home video introducing their newborn, who they'd just brought home from the hospital, to their dog in a 'how to' style video.
The three-minute video gives a step-by-step guide to how they introduced their dog to their newborn.

First, the new mum enters by herself and greets the dog, giving him a stroke and telling him he's a good boy.
Daddy and baby don't enter until the dog has been calmed down and told to sit down.
Daddy and baby enter while the dog is laying down, and slowly crouch down so the dog can erm, sniff the baby.

Warning: this part might take a few tries.
Finally the dog will understand and lay down, showing you he isn't going to harm the little baby.
