It's amazing how instinctively dogs learn to care for their baby "siblings." After the initial shock of having a new, bald critter around, dogs like this adorable Shih-Poo thrive with a new buddy to play with. Watch below as the pup's owner asks her to please go check on the baby, which she happily does, giving her a kiss on the cheek, according to Little Things. Then, the owner asks the dog to go play the xylophone. Amazingly enough, she complies!

Best of all, the baby shows that all kinds of big siblings can lead by example. The baby leans over and gives the xylophone a shot herself after having seen her canine companion do it, reported Give It Love.

This video reminds us that pups have shown off their love for playing avant-garde-sounding music for a while now, as seen in the video below that shows a talented German Shepherd/Collie mix jamming out on the piano, even bowing at the end:

Musical pups are the best, and it's wonderful to see that doggie siblings can show just as much affection to their new baby friends as their human siblings would. We hope that the adorable pair continues to love and learn from each other for many years to come!
