Baby Wakes up with a Dog Every Morning,
Then Parents set up a Camera to Find Out
The Unexpected -Touching Story

Everyone has something they need in bed to get a perfect night’s sleep. Most people can’t snap their fingers and nod off to sleep. For some, it’s a pillow between their legs. For others, it’s the weight of a blanket on their body.

Kids often have a favorite toy to accompany them, squeezing it to feel safe. A toddler, named Finn Knudston, didn’t seem to need anything. It wasn’t always the case though.

His parents had struggled to get him to sleep in his bed, they would find him on the floor each morning. But one day, something changed. That’s why they decided to set up a camera and were shocked at what they found.

Finn was a pretty normal kid by most standards, he went to daycare enjoyed playing outside and loved to build things with wooden blocks but Finn was shy and preferred to keep to himself.

Despite being smart and well-liked he struggled to reach out and play with the other kids and that loneliness was impacting his home life too for the last couple of months Finn had struggled to get to sleep his parents had taken him back into their bed for a while.

Finn slept between them both but he was only now starting to sleep in his own room again that’s when the strangest thing happened and it was all Brutus is doing Brutus The Box had been adopted into their family before Finn was born. one Sunday the family all went for a three-hour drive to a farm west of their Hometown.

Finn’s three older siblings didn’t fully understand what was happening but still they could barely contain their excitement two of them kept pushing their heels into the car seat to try and get a better view outside they couldn’t see much but there were more trees than they were used to seeing in their neighborhood that and it seemed to be a lot quieter suddenly the car turned down a dirt road and began to slow.

the kids were starting to feel nervous now they could hear noises from outside the car but weren’t familiar with them they could have been animals but they weren’t sure as the car stopped their dad opened the back door to let them out he could see that his kids were unsure of what was happening and tried to reassure them that everything was okay come on kids don’t worry there’s nothing to be scared of he said Softly.

As soon as they had stretched their legs from the long ride and touched the grass outside seven dogs surrounded them they all barked together and they realized that’s what the sound was all seven of them licked and rubbed themselves against the kids the parents explained that they were going to take one home with them and that it was their job to choose which one after running around and playing for a while.

it was time to choose and that was easy there was one that was particularly interesting when the others ran off together he would stay close by not wanting to leave the kid’s side.

The owner told the family that this one was a bit of an outcast he didn’t seem to get on with the rest of his family and none of the other buyers had picked him he wasn’t as playful as the others and was a little more reserved but the pup saw something special in this family the parents agreed this dog was the right choice and they all packed back into the car.

The whole ride home the kids and their new friends slept in the back they knew they had made a good decision. but still had no idea how they big of an impact the dog would have on their life a few years later as soon as Finn was born and came home from the hospital Brutus the dog has always been by his side at first the parents were hesitant to let the big dog near the baby, but seeing how good he was with Finn they couldn’t stop their special bond that was naturally happening.

Finn was born with a serious heart condition and it was as if Brutus knew about it because he kept watching over the baby you could say that Brutus had appointed himself Finn’s Guardian it was as if Brutus felt Finn needed extra protection from The First Time Finn came home the two had become best friends and were inseparable, he would play with him all day and lie with him in the backyard the hardest time was saying good night before bed each night but Brutus stayed downstairs that was the rule the father had installed a dog proof fence on the stairs just to keep him down there.

meanwhile Finn was upstairs in the room next to his parents after a couple of months though something very strange started happening mom and dad knew that Finn had trouble sleeping and every few nights he would climb back into bed with them but all of a sudden that all stopped but he wasn’t sleeping in his bed either they began to find their son lying on the floor next to his bed each morning he had even brought his pillow and blanket down to make himself a little bed what’s the matter don’t you like your bed? Finn his father asked him, but his son didn’t give him any answers which wasn’t unusual so the parents bought a new mattress maybe the old one wasn’t soft enough for him that didn’t work either.

The night after buying the mattress they found Finn sleeping on the floor again they thought maybe he was scared so they let him sleep in their bed with them just like he used to when he was smaller but he didn’t seem happy to go to bed at all Finn was restless and crying but eventually drifted off to sleep to their surprise when they woke up the following morning Finn was nowhere to be seen.

They both got out of bed to find that he was lying in his old spot on the bedroom floor that was it Finn’s father didn’t know what else to do in a last-ditch effort he bought a baby monitor and installed it in Finn’s room it had night vision and would record up to 24 hours of footage so all they needed to do was wait until morning to have any answers but what was on that footage would break their hearts.

The couple sat down on their computer the next morning to go through the video they scrolled through the footage slowly skipping in 30 second intervals for a long while there was nothing in the room Finn was sleeping in his bed peacefully next door but then at around 2 am a shadow came into view on the floor something was behind the camera that they couldn’t quite make out, what it was they slowed down?.

The playback as they both moved closer to the screen then from the bottom of the screen popped a nose followed by a head and then a big furry body it was Brutus how did he get over?.

the doggy door on the stairs they turned away from the screen to look over to brutus’s bed who looked to the floor like he’d been caught red-handed but that wasn’t all as they kept watching the video they could see Brutus curl up into a space on the floor right beside Finn’s bed just moments later another Shadow flickered up in the room and Finn appeared he went over to his bed and grabbed a pillow in his favorite blanket before lying right next to his best friend.

He put his little arms around him and soon had his eyes closed again mom and dad couldn’t believe it getting a bit misty-eyed they watched Finn and his best friend cuddle each other to sleep.

they knew that the two loved each other but didn’t realize how much they sat there watching the footage until Finn came to the computer and looked at the screen oh no!! am I in trouble he asked with a shaky voice of course not my love Mom reassured him as she took Finn into her arms as she did Brutus came to join the cuddle too and the whole family it wasn’t long before the parents realized that Brutus was able to jump over his doggy gate on the stairs and he had been sneaking back down before the family got up.

But they couldn’t be angry they were happy that Finn had found a way to sleep peacefully thanks to his special friend they even set up a new bed just for Brutus in Finn’s room so they could get a good night’s rest together without Brutus sneaking around
