Baby Employs The Family Dog As A Personal Vegetable Taster Before Eating Them
Babies, kids, toddlers, and children of all ages have one thing in common: they hate eating their vegetables. Even when parents hide the unforgivable greens under french fries, kids can sniff them out from a mile away.
This couple was struggling to get their baby daughter, Amiyah, to eat her veggies. No matter how hard they tried, the kid just refused to touch the leafy greens.
That is until one night, an unexpected solution came along. Brick, the family's absolute unit of a dog, was sitting beside Amiyah while she was being tricked into eating her peas and carrots.
Brick was there simply because he was hoping that Amiyah accidentally spills some of her food for him. The parents were desperate for any possible solution to the veggie problem when they tried to offer Brick a cauliflower.
The dog lapped it up happily and when Amiyah saw that Brick enjoyed the veggie, she joined the bandwaggon and decided to try the cauliflower, too! Next, they had peas together and the rest is history!
The parents were dumbfounded by this inelegant solution to their daughter's veggie troubles. After a while, Amiyah was eating the vegetables of her own accord and even offered some to Brick.
For Amiyah, if it's good enough for Brick, then it's good enough for her. The parents are happy, Amiyah is eating her veggies, and Brick is definitely one happy boy!
You can watch the adorable video here:
Brick has his own Instagram page (he's Insta famous) where he's jokingly called Mr. Bronk

They have a love/hate relationship but Brick makes sure that Amiyah is safe even when preparing for a bath

This was them when they were younger. They were planning how to steal the loaf of bread undetected.

Brick may be scared of other things but he loves his sister Amiyah with his whole heart

And from time to time, he can ask Amiyah to do things for him, too. This is her trying out Brick's new crate.

At the end of the day, nobody uses the crate and the duo snooze happily together!

The next time you encounter a roadblock and your kid decides they don't want yucky vegetables, you can try the Brick technique. It's been proven effective and given 5 stars by one biased user.
Unfortunately, Brick is not for hire anymore. He's loyal to Amiyah and plans to only taste test vegetables for her for the rest of his life.
