We couldn’t believe our eyes when we first saw the amazing moment between Miller the boxer and 7-month-old baby Peyton shown in YouTube user defrostyman’s video. (Hat tip to "The Bonnie Hunt Show<\/a>" for airing defrostyman’s video in a televised segment, which initially brought it to our attention.) <\/p>\n

We’ll be the first to admit it: We are suckers for animals that are great "big brothers" or "big sisters" to the human children in their families, and for animals that help children in other ways, like so-called "reading dogs<\/a>" whose calming presence can encourage young children to read aloud to them.<\/p>\n

If your own animal friend is great
\nwith kids, we’d love to see it! Share your photos or videos in the Best Babysitters<\/a> album at The Times’ photo-sharing site, Your Scene<\/a>. Be sure to include a caption that tells us a bit about your pet!<\/p>\n
