Everybody is always happy to have the chance to make new friends. This is just as true of animals as it is of humans. Just take Bear, the German Shepherd, for instance.
Bear’s human parents recently brought home some new additions to the family, a couple of Nigerian dwarf goats. Naturally, Bear is curious about his new friends and wants to get to know them more.
This video even goes so far as to say that he is “obsessed” with them. However, due to his formidable size, these tiny creatures are more than a little intimidated by him.
As you can see, these precious little baby goats are pretty darn scared of Bear. He is a pretty big dog, after all.
Each time he goes over to their pen to investigate or to try to meet them, these goats stay away from the fence, wanting to keep their distance so that they can feel safe.
Nevertheless, Bear is not deterred. He is still eager to get more up close and personal with his brand-new friends.

It is important to note that Bear’s humans are taking extra care and caution to slowly introduce these baby Nigerian goats to their canine big brother, to make sure that everyone is comfortable with each other.
Towards the end of this video, you can see one of these baby goats very tentatively going to the fence to greet Bear a little bit.
For his part, Bear was very calm while the baby goat displayed some of their own excitement, hopping up and down as they seemingly realized that the large furry creature before them was a friend.
However, Bear’s friendly nature around these baby goats is no surprise. As this other video shows, he is already the best friend of an adorable human toddler.
As you can see, this big dog and this tiny boy have the best time playing together. They have a really special bond and are pretty much inseparable from one another.
Could it be that one day these precious little baby goats will have a similarly sweet bond with the bighearted Bear? We certainly hope so.
But if that tiny baby goat’s precious little hops at the end of the first video or any indication, they and Bear seem to be getting off on the right track.
