Dog Accidentally Startles Newborn Baby With a Bark & Her Reaction Is Priceless

A simple lunch in this household took an unexpected turn when the dog stepped in. When the video starts, the infant can be seen happily sitting in her high chair. She’s mid-bite and mid-chew when Benji suddenly gets up from behind her and lets out a bark at someone passing by the house. The bark catches her completely off guard, and @oliviagraceharv happens to catch her reaction on camera. Her eyes squeeze shut, her whole body wiggles, and then she turns around to see what just happened. Benji, meanwhile, seemed to think he was just doing his job.

Dog startles newborn baby with a bark and gets the cutest surprised reaction

The video begins with the baby sitting in her high chair and enjoying her meal. She is halfway through a bite when Benji gets up from his spot behind her after noticing someone outside. He immediately starts barking at them. The infant’s eyes snap shut, her little body wiggles, and she turns toward the sudden noise. She’s clearly trying to figure out where the sound came from.

Mom laughs and calls out to Benji, prompting the baby to turn back toward her. But now her eyes are carrying a little more concern than they did a few seconds earlier. The on-screen text says it perfectly: “Lunch with a side of trauma.” Luckily, it looks like the bark gave her a fright without actually upsetting her. Olivia joked in the caption that you’d think the baby would be used to the sudden barking by now. Clearly, those surprise barks still catch her off guard.

The clip has picked up more than 2,100 likes, and viewers seem especially entertained by the baby’s reaction. One person admitted, “The amount of times I’ve already watched this,” while another said, “Hahahahha the look she gave him afterwards is priceless.” Someone else summed up her face with, “She’s like not surprised but surprised.”

And that sums up the short video. The dog startles the infant, the baby checks on the situation, and Benji carries on with his important guard-dog duties. By the end, everyone is fine, but that little look back from the high chair is hard not to laugh at.
