In a viral video posted by the couple, the pooch clearly thinks everything is happening just for him!

Just two weeks before the baby was due, Danielle walked into the nursery to find her dog making himself comfortable on the armchair. Completely at ease, Kobe stretched his back left paw into the air as he leaned into the cushions.

The sweet pup has obviously found his new favorite place!

"The nursery is finally done and Kobe thinks it's all for him," the mother-to-be wrote under the viral TikTok.

"He will love the baby," Danielle's followers are sure

"He did so well!" Danielle said on TikTok. "We kept him on a leash and worked on keeping him calm."

Sure enough, the golden can be seen lying on the ground, relaxed, with his ears laid back. Around him, infants curiously reach out to touch the dog.

Danielle's followers agree: Kobe is well-prepared for his role of big brother.

"He will love the baby! He will know she is part of the pack!" one user wrote.
