This Golden Retriever is a guardian angel.

Dogs take on various roles when they join a family. Playful pup, gregarious goofball, canine companion, definitely forever friend — the list is endless. What our fabulous fur babies add to our lives is truly immeasurable. Many breeds are born with a protective nature, instinctually watching over their loved ones and especially those who are more vulnerable.
This gentle Golden Retriever named Beau clearly has this trait, serving as a guardian angel to a little baby boy.
In the TikTok from @beaunosebones, the video chronicles the unbreakable bond that forms between the precious pup and the baby. Starting from infancy through various milestones, the little boy always has Beau by his side making sure he’s safe and sound.
The baby and pup’s mom alluded to concerns the two wouldn’t mesh, sharing “What if they don’t get along?” in the onscreen text when the boy is an infant. The scenes of the gorgeous Golden and little boy spending every moment together playing, walking, and snuggling shows her initial uncertainty was completely unnecessary.
Followers raved over the special connection between the boy and his dog.
“Been watching them both grow — it’s absolutely beautiful,” one remarked.
“Beau has taught him about unconditional love from the beginning,” a fan pointed out.
“Dogs and babies go together,” another commented.
“My boy and his Golden Retriever play together every day. Yesterday the Retriever stole my boy’s lollipop and they started chasing each other. My heart melted when I watched them,” a follower shared.
“They’re soulmates,” someone posted.
Golden Retrievers remain one of the most popular breeds due to their gentle nature and tender disposition. Known for their kind-hearted spirit, Goldens make wonderful family dogs, are great with children, and often serve as therapy and service dogs.
This little boy definitely has a friend for life with Beau!
