Sweet moment pet chihuahua repeatedly offers to share his doggy treat in bid to placate crying baby 

  • Daizu the chihuahua offers his biscuit to his wailing human brother
  • Every time the mum tries to feed him the treat he gives it to the baby
  • Sadly the little boy is unable to be calmed, despite Daizu's best efforts 
  • The dog was maltreated in early life and now hates to see other unhappy 

If a dog has got his paws on a snack he'll normally wolf it down without a second thought.

But this adorable pet offered up his treat to a baby when he saw his human brother wailing.

Daizu (which means 'soybean' in Japanese) the long coat chihuahua spotted his tiny friend crying hysterically on the floor when he decided to take action.

Why won't you stop crying? The miniature dog sits beside him patiently, and while the baby is momentarily calmed, he soon starts to bawl once more

He trots over to him, dog treat in mouth, and drops it next to the baby in an attempt to cheer him up.

Unfortunately the little Japanese tot pays no attention to the kind offering and continues to howl. 

His mother - and the filmer of the video - starts to utter calming words to her son and picks up the biscuit and offers it to the boy.

This quietens him as he examines the treat and his mum, although makes no attempt to grab it.

So  - the mother passes it to Daizu.

But instead of munching on the tasty biscuit the chihuahua gets up and places it next to the baby's face. Sadly this seems to start the little boy off again.

You can have mine: His mum tries to tempt him with the snack but following his obvious disinterest she once again gives it to the dog... who once again drops the biscuit next to the boy

Daizu then walks around the baby and settles down the other side of him, as though desperately racking his brains as to how he can calm the boy.

The video ends before the baby's tantrum finishes.

According to the mum - YouTube user metabodaizu - Daizu began his life with an uncaring dog breeder who eventually threw him out.

The chihuahua was underweight and covered in ticks when they adopted him.

However, his horrible start to life now means he hates to see others unhappy, she says, particularly members of the family.

The video was filmed in 2011 but has recently reemerged online.

Tragically, Daizu died in October 2015, aged eight, following a respiratory disease. The baby in the video is now four years old. 

Oh little one what is to be done? Daizu then walks around the baby and settles down the other side of him, as though desperately racking his brains as to how he can calm the boy
