When little Jackson was first born and his mother brought him home from the hospital, his first best friend was his dog Ludo. Now the boy is two years old, and he is still inseparable from his furry friend. They spend a lot of time together – playing, cuddling, sleeping together, and going for walks.

“Jaxon has never known life without Ludo,” Tia Laycock, Jaxon and Ludo’s mom, told The Dodo. “They’ve been inseparable from the very beginning.”

When Jackson grew older and started sleeping in a separate room, his parents decided to install a night surveillance camera in the nursery to keep an eye on their son. A little later it turned out that it wasn’t just the parents who decided to watch the boy. One day they saw on the footage, Ludo came into his room. Turns out, the dog does this every night!

“It’s lovely seeing the bond they both have,” Laycock said. “And it’s nice to think that if something were to ever happen in the night that we’d have that extra set of eyes to alert us of anything.”
