  A heartwarming new video sees a dog teach a struggling baby how to crawl.

  Valerie Stevens-Scott from Atlanta, Georgia, filmed the family pet, Buddy, giving her seven-month-old daughter, Allie, an impromptu how-to session after he spotted her frustratingly waving her arms and legs around on the floor, the report said.

  In the clip, the concerned Jack Russell Terrier gets by the infant's side and shows how he niftily moves forward by hiking his front paws in front of him. His back legs then drag behind as he gathers speed, according to the report.

  Allie appears to be mesmerized by Buddy as he swiftly moves past her.

  To date, the 26-second-long video has been watched more than 480,000 times since it was uploaded on June 18, with many viewers deeming it "cute" and "adorable", the report said.

  Ms Stevens-Scott says that Buddy was a rescue dog and now it appears, he is enjoying giving back to others, according to the report.
