At first, Rocky seems apprehensive about touching the delicate little chick, but he warms up quickly and begins gently sniffing it. The puppy follows it around the bed, taking in this new scent he’s smelling before he loses him between his legs.

According to American Kennel Club, German Shepherds explore everything with their noses, so this makes perfect sense.

You can tell Rocky is worried about stepping on the tiny fella, so once the baby chick gets out from underneath him he does something adorable.

Rocky is being as gentle as possible, but he can help but play with the chick by giving it a little nibble and pressing his nose against it. To have this mellow temperament as a puppy really says something about the kind of dog that the loving German Shepherd is.

Every time the chick gets out of Rocky’s line of sight, he readjusts so that he can keep an eye on the baby. Throughout the entire video, the gorgeous puppy is on his best behavior and is as gentle as a mouse with the baby chick. It’s no surprise Rocky was so caring when it came to baby chick, he’s like that with all the different animals he meets.
