When the Golden Retriever feels the movement under his paw, surprise is written all over his face.

The four-legged friend initially tilts his head in surprise but then dares to approach the baby belly again, staring at it in fascination at close range.

The moment is not only very special for Carl the dog, but his owner also looks more than touched into the camera.
