After welcoming our baby Zoey, our dog Beau began acting differently. He barked nonstop at our nanny, Claire, making us scared enough to think about rehoming him. We worried for our daughter’s safety.
One night, I reviewed the home security videos and saw what we couldn’t before. Claire was more focused on livestreaming Zoey than caring for her and missed signs that Zoey was coughing and struggling. Beau barked and snapped near Claire’s leg, trying to make her notice the danger. She ignored him and locked him in the nursery.
The next day, we showed Claire the footage. She was shocked and left immediately. We reported her behavior, and we called Beau “Zoey’s Guardian” by engraving a tag for his collar. He stays close to Zoey’s crib, not out of duty, but love—our true family protector.
