Our dog gives her treats to our new baby

My husband and I can't understand this crazy habit our 5 month old OES puppy Scooter has. Whenever we give her a treat (a biscuit or cookie) she brings it over to our 3 month old baby and puts it either on top of her or next to her. It's really sweet to watch. Scooter will then sit next to the baby and wait until we give the treat back to her and insist she have it.

Anyone seen similar behavior in there OES dogs?

Thanks much!!!

My dog Dancer does that with her treats if we are at my parents house. She will take her favorite treat and drop it at Blackie's feet (Blackie is my parents dog)
I have no idea why....lol
Awww... That's cute! Looks like your baby is now a part of the pack! It's nice to see that your doggie accepted your baby so well.

Did you do anything special to help your doggie over the stress of the new baby?
That's precious! Abby generally walks around taking everyone else's treats.
We brought the baby's hat home from the hospital and gave it to the dog before we brought the baby home. Scooter was only 3 1/2 months old so it was probably easier to introduce the baby to her at that age.

She is our first sheepdog and we just can't believe how sweet she is. She is always trying to lick the baby's face too but the baby get's a little annoyed with that. Perhaps when the baby is older she'll like it more!
Just be careful with your puppies paws. Abby uses her paws to get our attention. I can't tell you how many bruised legs and arms I've had from her "gentle nudge". I know she's not meaning to hurt us, just get our attention.
That is way cute. Is Scooter a male or female? She obviously sees the baby as part of the pack. :) (Congrats of the new pack!)
