Lol this dog is trying to bury this baby. I see dogs do this all the time when they don't want their food.
AspenStarbounder

Foag
This is cute and all but who hides meat under their baby?
TairaMai

lyongirl69

Icedthundergod
Everytime this comes up everyone says hes just covering the baby to save it as a snack for later.

Labs are the bestest.

Labs, just labs.

We thought the same thing with our dog until she did the same thing to her poop in the backyard. She's just trying to bury the stink!
StumbleJunkie
*Evil Dog Voice:* If I hide it under this blanket they will think it ran away and give me ALL of the attentions. Bwa-ha-ha *evil laughter*!
warrendovesbid
Maybe the baby is sleeping on the dog's treats.
fragfrog
Ya, I was thinking "is it looking for bacon beneath the pup?"
panananda
Or there's a "surprise" waiting in that diaper and the dog is trying to cover the smell
cogs
No, she's just covering the smell.

Your fur is falling off you silly little hooman

This dog is a better parent than either of mine were.
EdgardoVelez

The dog is even tucking the blanket in under that baby. "I will keep you warm human larvae."
TheGrammarFuzz
I shall forever refer to babies as 'human larvae' now.....I chuckled heartily at that.
PizzaGovorun
Burying its kill to return and devour when hungry.
jackstrawsbuddy
Yeah...my pup does that with snacks

You beat me to it!
lightlybreadedtoast
Is this really an instinct to protect a "puppy" or is this to bury something unpleasant? Anyone actually know what the behavior is?

xnaut117
Actually an instinct to bury food for later. Better not forget to feed that dog.
caitilator
I've seen this in dogs who are trying to hide their food from others so it's not eaten or taken away.
Thescribz
I can't speak for dogs, but a few different mammalian female species will bury unpleasant things (such as newborn pups) to kill them
RedKahuna001
Burying something unpleasant.
OmenRider
My beagle used to do this with fish we caught, even if they were sitting in grass. This is NOT "motherly" behavior
Doggoyesgood
My doggo does the exact same thing (including the booping) to hide not-so-tasty-but-maybe-later treats in the blankets/crack of the couch.
Yogurto
My dog does this to hide her bones for later
HippyMama86
I'd say mimicking the parents
jackstrawsbuddy
I've had terriers. They hide snacks, but they also take care of babies. My kids were closely guarded by my dog, 24/7
nobodylikesmyname
My doggy (terrier mix) does this to hide his snacks. It's so cute.
AwkwardCouch2
My dog buries his special you duck he gets when he takes a bath. He guards that thing with his life. I know a you isn't a human but still.
Brodiesan
I'll bite. What's a you duck?

More likely it's an instinct to copy pack leaders (humans for pet dogs). Probably saw the parents doing this and now just copies them.

Not true. The difference from wild wolves is that alpha isn't decided by force/dominance, but rather by respect and other social factors.

Again, not true. http://thebark.com/content/social-dominance-not-myth-wolves-dogs-and-other-animals

Youre right but igurians love the idea of alpha dog so not surprised you're being downvoted..
DaBurger
You literally just made that up.
InverseNarnia
I'm afraid not. http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/14_12/features/Alpha-Dogs_20416-1.html
YoudSwearImAVirgin
Can he figuratively make that up?
Ootandabootehh
No.. They literally didnt. It's called caching and dogs so it to things that smell bad or things they want to save to eat later
