My pit was super attached to me during my pregnancy, and then when the kids (twins) were born, he totally threw me over for them.
They took precedence over everything. His entire life, he slept on my bed. After the twins were born, he slept on the floor of the nursery. If they were crying, he nudged me toward them. If they were dirty during the night, he woke me up to change them EVEN IF THEY HADN'T WOKEN UP THEMSELVES.
They could take rawhides, bones, or food out of his mouth. They dressed him up like a superhero and he would wear hats or capes for hours.
My dog seemed interested in a “You’re getting fat, and there’s weird sounds coming from inside there” kind of way, then after he was kinda like “What the hell is this? No, thank you.” 4 years later he still has 0 interest in the kid!
I didn't have a pit, I had a pug that did this. My BFFs (a couple) moved in with me when she was about 5-6 months pregnant. He loved to lay his little head on her belly. The day she went into labor he literally sat staring at her belly the whole day. He wouldn't go to bed with me that night, he insisted on getting in bed with them. He knew immediately when she had her first contraction that night. We'd been laughing at him that day because he was so snuggly with her that day and jokingly saying she was going to go into labor and darned if she didn't. He knew!
My BFFs have 2 older children (3and 4 at the time). He didn't pay them much mind at all. But the day they brought the baby home from the hospital he claimed that baby girl as his. He took one look at her and climbed up in her car seat and sat on her like "mine". They were inseparable. When she was an infant and wouldn't stop crying, all we had to do was lay her beside him on the couch and she would stop immediately. Then she'd cry if you picked her back up. He would nudge her when she was crying and give her tiny little licks and it hushed her immediately.
He helped her learn how to walk. She would hold on to his fur and pull herself up. She didn't take one step that he wasn't beside her for. He even let her try to ride him like a horse when she got more mobile.
When she graduated from baby food to people food they shared everything she ate. She taught him to love tacos. They had to be meat/cheese only. They would eat tacos every day if we'd let them. One day whe they were eating them, I broke his up into pieces and put it in his bowl. I walked around the corner to find both of them sitting in front of his bowl eating tacos from it. It was the cutest thing ever.
When we got some stairs for him so he could get in the bed by himself, she had to teach him how to use them.
They had the sweetest friendship you ever saw. She's almost 5 now and sometimes she remembers him and tells me she misses him. He passed away 2 years ago.

Be careful.
