When a Shiba Inu named Mya was introduced to her new family member, she was more than excited, as a now-viral TikTok video shows.

The clip with the caption, "Soon to be besties," shows Mya's new brother, a human newborn named Leo, coming home for the first time.

Can dogs help their owners during pregnancy?

Ester Pla, Mya's owner and proud mom of Leo, told Newsweek her dog helped her a lot while she was carrying her baby..

"Throughout my pregnancy, Mya had been extra sensitive and affectionate. I think she could sense baby Leo inside me," Ester said.

She gave birth to Leo on July 16 and she said her babies have become fast friends. According to the proud mama, Mya is more than just a fur baby: "She is not just a pet; she is Leo's older sister and she is a big part of my family."

As multiple other viral TikToks show, Mya is obsessed with her little brother. "Since day one, she has been extremely gentle and caring. She has been so curious and attentive with him, making sure he is fine and well. Cuddling alongside him and calming him if he cries," Ester said.

This dog takes her big sister duties seriously, and it's super sweet.
