Bloomington, Illinois - Are all new beginnings hard? Certainly not for Dudley the dog, who didn't have the slightest issue with his owners becoming parents for the first time. Quite the opposite, in fact!

A TikTok video by his owner Shannon McKenzie Moran has been melting hearts by the dozen since the end of February, in which the dog meets the new citizen of the world in the best possible way.

There is a brief moment of confusion in the video.

Dudley sniffs the baby being held by his dad for a moment, but then he runs off again.

He picks up a stuffed orangutan and takes it to a guest sitting on the sofa.

The Labrador quickly realizes that he has taken a wrong turn.

He proudly runs over to the baby and holds the stuffed animal out to him.

This adorable gesture not only touches the new parents but also the TikTok audience, with whom it has become a huge hit.

Some users wondered whether Dudley might feel left out since the new arrival arrived, but his owner Shannon vehemently contradicted this in a comment response.

She explained that the pup is spoiled with cuddles and love, adding that she can't wait to see the dog and baby play together when the kiddo is more mobile.

She also reveals some other sweet details in further sub-comments, like the fact that the orangutan stuffed animal has been Dudley's ultimate favorite since he was a puppy.
