Dusty's owners are professional dog breeders, and Dusty has emerged as the social media star of their program, thanks to a video showing him feeding 7-month-old Lucy with a bottle.

"The nanny position has been filled. Thank you for all the inquires, but we felt we found the perfect applicant," the clip's caption reads.

"Happy to say the amazing individual we hired has already been a part of the family for 11 years and the kids absolutely love him. Lots of responsibilities around here, with 5 children… but we think Dusty can handle it."

"He joined our family the day my husband and I got home from our honeymoon [and] has helped in the raising of our five children," she added.

But where does so much talent come from? A look into Dusty's past sheds some light.
