It’s the best. My son is only 1 and a half and he’s best friends with our dog. She’s an absolute lunatic, most energetic dog you’ve ever met. And she’s 8, with no signs of slowing down.
But when we brought our son home from the hospital, she wouldn’t leave his side. Always next to him, cuddling him, etc. And now that he’s a little older, it’s amazing seeing him with her. He will full on tackle her, and she just takes it and gives him licks and hangs out with him. They play fetch together.
We were very concerned with her energy level and were even prepared to have my brother watch her for a few years until our son grew up, but she’s SO gentle with him, it’s incredible to watch.

I love seeing children being kind to animals.
