The trend of capturing photos of children with pets is no longer a rarity, but this family has managed to bring a fresh and unique twist to the concept, especially considering their choice of Samoyed hunting dogs, which require extensive training. This is the family of Sarah Hegarty, hailing from Perth, Australia, who frequently shares adorable snapshots of her children alongside their furry companions on her personal Instagram account, aptly named “The Samoyed Siblings.”
With these photos, Sarah has garnered over 86 thousand followers on Instagram and received 63 thousand likes on Facebook, all of which have demonstrated the immense appeal of these incredibly cute kids and their canine counterparts.
Sarah’s family consists of two daughters, aged 22 months and 11 months, growing up alongside a quartet of Samoyed dogs named Arthur, Aurora, Shimmer, and Sebastian, all with fluffy, snow-white fur. Sarah mentioned that her two daughters, Layla and Ruby, along with the four dogs, are practically inseparable. She said, “They play, nap, and eat together, and Layla always shares her food with the pups.”
Sarah herself has always dreamed of raising Samoyed dogs since she was a child and began caring for two of them five years ago. While raising two small children can be challenging enough, adding four mischievous dogs to the mix certainly creates a different story. What’s even more of a headache is that they all share a love for causing havoc around the house. And of course, no matter how adorable they are, there are times when Sarah has to do some exhausting clean-up work.
When asked how she manages the chaos, Sarah explained that she’s fortunate that both Layla and Ruby are well-behaved and good sleepers, which helps a lot: “Luckily, Layla and Ruby are both good sleepers and nap a lot. We usually wake up around 9 or 10 in the morning, and if we’re going out, it only takes us about half an hour to get ready.”
Despite the challenges of caring for two young children and four dogs, Sarah always finds joy in this special bond. What’s more, this bond receives a lot of love from a wide online community. Now, let’s enjoy a collection of adorable photos featuring these six special characters!
