The first clip shows Luda checking in on Tia Layock's older child, her little son Jaxon.

Layock told Newsweek that her dog's sweet nightly routine started when she and her partner checked on Jaxon before bed when he first moved into his own room.

Ludo decided to follow his humans and participate in the little nightly ritual.

"We thought it was super sweet of him to be going into the room and up to the beds checking on the kids, sometimes even giving them a little nudge with his nose or a kiss," gushed Layock.

TikTokers agree that this dog's check-ins are the sweetest thing ever, they love that he quickly adapted to saying goodnight to both of Layock's babies.

Many commenters celebrated the dog's behavior and dubbed him the kid's protector. Other TikTokers shared that their pets check on their children, too.

This dog knows he's part of the family pack, and he evidently takes his role very seriously!
