Introducing dogs to a new baby can be an anxiety-inducing experience for new parents.

They hope for a strong bond to form between their beloved canine companions and their newborn child, but ultimately, the outcome is beyond their control. However, for Chris Cardinal and his wife, the introduction of their Golden Retrievers, Colby and Bleu, to their new daughter Chloe, couldn’t have gone any better.

Not only did the dogs fall in love with Chloe, but they also turned her into their mischievous partner in crime.

Colby, in particular, had a history of being caught red-handed on video.

Prior to Chloe’s arrival, she had mastered the art of opening closed doors all by herself. To monitor their furry friends, the couple had set up a video camera in their room. On one occasion, the camera captured Colby opening the bathroom door, and unsurprisingly, Bleu followed suit, eager to explore the newly accessible room.

Food was an undeniable weakness for Colby and Bleu.

While their fondness for Chloe had developed early on, it was when they realized she could not only shower them with affection but also provide access to delicious treats that their love for her deepened. Unintentionally, Chloe won their hearts by dropping food from her highchair, inadvertently forging a special bond with her canine companions.

Colby was no stranger to rewarding her best buddies with treats, and they were well aware of this.

Cardinal and his wife were accustomed to their dogs becoming hungry around 6 a.m., as evidenced by their usual routine of barking at the couple’s bedroom door to wake them up. However, one morning, the usual barking was absent, piquing the parents’ curiosity. When they opened the door, they were met with an unexpected sight—15-month-old Chloe, accompanied by Colby and Bleu.

Cardinal was taken aback, considering Chloe’s room had been closed the previous night, and she was not yet capable of opening doors.

In order to uncover the truth, the concerned parents turned to the video footage. At precisely 6:05 a.m., a soundly sleeping Chloe was captured on camera, with her door securely shut. Mere minutes later, the culprits were revealed—Chloe and her partner-in-crime, Bleu—skillfully opening the door and making a beeline for their beloved food provider.

The dogs rushed toward Chloe, showering her with affectionate kisses and rousing her from her slumber.

Delighted by the sudden attention, Chloe was more than happy to oblige her furry friends. They then hurriedly retreated, hoping she would follow them. Although Chloe was still groggy and chose to stay put, she gazed longingly as they disappeared from view. This, to her, was the perfect morning—a morning with her loyal companions by her side.

Not willing to give up so easily, Colby and Bleu swiftly returned to Chloe’s room, determined to persuade her to join them.

This time, Chloe understood the message loud and clear. She clambered out of her bed, eager not to be left behind by her best friends. Oblivious to the watchful eyes of the camera, she ventured out of the room, leaving no doubt that she intended to share any treats she could find with Colby and Bleu.

Cardinal couldn’t help but emphasize that Colby and Bleu “definitely knew what they were doing.”

This trio of adorable partners-in-crime had successfully executed a jailbreak, capturing the hearts of everyone who witnessed their escapades.
