Dogs aren't just man's best friend. They are loyal friends to any woman they meet. Brooke Ellington is one of those women. She lives in Midland Texas.

A few years ago, Brooke gave birth at home. She welcomed baby Boyd into her family with loving arms. That's when she found out how loyal dogs can truly be. Her Corgi named Ryder was there for her every step of the way. Sadly, Ryder passed away from Lymphoma shortly after the birth of her son. She knew that she couldn't live without a dog in her life. Brooke has a love affair with Corgis, so she decided to open her home up to a new one.

That's when she adopted Ranger. He was just a puppy but quickly adapted to his new and happy home. He filled her with the love she lost when Ryder died. She explained how she could not imagine being without a Corgi. Ranger fit in rather quickly too. Ranger stepped into Ryder's shoes right away. Brooke welcomed her third child into the world at her home recently. Ranger was there for every minute of it. She likes to call him her doggy doula.

It is amazing how quickly Ranger took over Ryder's duties. It is like he was meant to be a part of this family. Brooke looked back at her pregnancy pictures. They made her realize how often Ranger was by her side. He was always there to support her. She said that she remembers him being by her side as she went through her labor pains. She didn't know that he was there the whole time though. The photos made that evident. She was nearly in tears when she saw them.

She says that Ranger had a giant impact on the whole process. He even laid under her bed while she was in labour. Ranger was there to comfort her through each contraction. He gave her little kisses to make her feel better.

Brooke felt like he knew what she was going through. He just wanted to make sure his mommy was alright. Finally, Berkeley Sue was delivered. It was love at first sight for Ranger. He waited to get close to her. At last, Ranger joined Brooke's husband Steve in welcoming her to the world. Ranger couldn't wait to get all the sniffs.

He jumped up to see her as soon as he could. It was all about the baby to him. Ranger fell in love with her immediately. He would even watch her get changed and weighed. He was proud of his mommy and new sister. Kristin is the family's photographer. She knew that she had to capture every moment of Ranger's support. She said that it was a beautiful thing to see.

She explained how she doesn't see things like this often. Clearly, they all had a very special bond. Kristin hopes that her images help people see the beauty of birth through a dog's eyes. People may be inspired by Brooke's story. It's so important to have your family members with you during childbirth. That includes furry ones like Ranger. He's a good boy!
