Dogs often protect babies, but for a rescued English Pointer named Nora, her baby friend Archie gives her the comfort and safety she needs.
Animals and babies are the most innocent and endearing of creatures, which is why we melted when we saw these photos.
After being rescued from an abusive home, an English Pointer named Nora was adopted into a loving family with three cats and an adorable human baby. Because of the cruelty she’d endured for so long, Nora was afraid of almost everything, but was unexpectedly drawn to baby Archie. Upon seeing their growing bond, mom Elizabeth Spence decided to document their heartwarming friendship.
Despite Nora’s timidness around her new companions, she and Archie became instant friends.
Elizabeth photographs them cuddling with soft toys, showing that Nora is really just a baby at heart.
