When it comes to loving someone it means wanting to keep them safe no matter what.
We wouldn’t want to see our family members or friends get hurt and we would do anything to keep them safe.
Bailey the golden retriever is no exception to this.
His love for his owner means that he has to protect her at all costs.
Even when that means protecting her from his other owner- her husband.
Bailey is something of an internet sensation.
He’s only two years old yet has over 400,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, where there’s a whole load of funny and cute videos of Bailey simply being the adorable pooch that he is.
But Bailey doesn’t let fame go to his head, and when it comes to protecting his owner, he knows that this is a serious business.
In one of Bailey’s latest YouTube videos, we get to witness exactly what measures a loving dog will take to protect his owner.
The video starts with Bailey and his mom having a cuddle on the bed, before they are interrupted by Bailey’s dad who sits down onto the end of the bed.
You can tell that Bailey is in Guard Dog mode and he gives his dad a stern look to let him know that he’s here to protect his mom!
Bailey’s dad then slowly puts his hand onto his wife’s foot.
Bailey is not having this!
He nibbles gently on his mom’s foot to let her know that he’s going to keep her safe.
He then gives a few warning barks at his dad, just in case dad hasn’t got the message.
Well, it looks like dad hasn’t got the message.
A few more barks should see to that.
Bailey sits on top of his mom to keep her safe, and gives his best, menacing stare at his dad.
How do you think he did?
The couple then try to hold hands, but Bailey isn’t having this either.
Dad could be a potential threat, so any kind of contact must be removed! Bailey soon sees to that.
He stands up and butts his head through his owner’s arms, breaking them apart. Job well done.
He gives some more warning barks, just so that his owners know that he is going to make sure they don’t hold hands anymore.
Nothing sneaky can be done on Bailey’s watch.
Luckily, it seems like Bailey and his dad are still friends through all of this.
Bailey allows his dad to give him a quick cuddle, before he’s back on his important guard dog duties.
He loves dad a lot, but he loves mom too, and in this moment it is more important to make sure mom is safe.
Bailey really is a special dog. We all need someone to protect us like Bailey protects his owner!
