When it comes to being a good parent and a good partner, some species are just better than others. I know there are some awesome dads and husbands out there but what this German Shepherd named Rex did blew me away.

I’ve seen plenty of videos of animals giving birth and even though moms show a great deal of affection and care, fathers are nowhere to be seen. But when Rex’s wife Moni went through a particularly difficult and painful delivery, giving birth to 12 puppers, Rex was there to show his love and support for the new mama. The way he is kissing her and making sure she was okay gave me chills.

Dads and husbands of the world – take notes.
