If you're a fan of Spike and Tyke from the classic Tom and Jerry cartoon, then you will love this story about a giant pit bull who takes on the role of father and protector to a tiny, energetic puppy.

In this video from June 2020, a giant pitbull takes on the role of guardian and father to a tiny, new-born puppy. The two make an adorable duo as the intimidating-looking adult dog puts up with the puppies' antics, content to love and protect the new addition to his family.

The cartoon by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featured the titular cat and mouse as the main characters, but Spike and Tyke were two dogs who often showed up in episodes. The two pit bulls were a father and son team that became so popular, they were eventually featured in their own spin-off series. There were even a few movies made featuring these two as the main characters.

Now, a real-life version of the popular duo has been recorded and is on YouTube for all to see! The defining characteristic of Spike and Tyke is the undying devotion the father (Spike) shows toward his son (Tyke). Spike would do anything to protect his puppy, and the great lengths he goes to in order to do this is the source of much of the amusement and entertainment the two bring to their shows and movies. This same dynamic can be seen between the real-life American pit bull father and his newly adopted son.

Sadly, there are several negative stereotypes regarding pit bulls. People often assume they are aggressive, mean, and dangerous. The fully-grown male pit bull in the video certainly fits the stereotypical look for this dog breed: dark brown glossy coat, short ears, stocky build, and a serious pitbull face.

That is where the stereotype ends, though. Like most pit bulls and other "aggressive" dog breeds, the level of aggression or danger differs from dog to dog. The entire breed can't be classified as dangerous. Dogs that do have aggression issues usually develop those traits after being owned by abusive or neglectful people, or if the dog hasn’t been properly trained and socialized.

In fact, pit bulls are can be extremely loyal, protective, and loving companions. They are great family dogs and often love to snuggle with the other pet and human members of their family. All of these traits can be seen in the way this pit bull takes care of the tiny new-born puppy that is brought into his home.

The puppy is a complete contrast to the intimidating appearance of the father figure. Where the adult dog is dark and can be seen as menacing, this little puppy has a white coat and a very playful personality. You can see in the two-minute video posted by the pair's owners that the puppy loves to jump on the older dog, nipping at his face and ears for attention and snuggling up for some affection when he gets tired. You can tell he is extremely trusting and mischievous, and that his favorite place is with his giant adopted dad.

This video delights everyone who watches it. Be sure to watch the adorable footage for yourself!
