Dog’s Tender “Boops” on Mom’s Belly Go Viral, He Knew Baby Was Coming

A heartwarming TikTok video from Sweden is melting hearts worldwide as it captures the touching connection between a Labrador named Elvis and his pregnant owner. The viral clip shows 7-year-old Elvis gently nudging—or “booping”—his mom’s baby bump, as if he knew a new member of the family was on the way.

Mikaela Bätz, a 37-year-old mother of three, shared the emotional footage, which quickly gained over 1.6 million views. In the video, Elvis softly presses his nose to Mikaela’s belly each time she asks, “Where’s the baby?” It wasn’t a one-time fluke—this sweet interaction became a routine part of her pregnancy.

“Elvis is very much a part of our family,” Mikaela told Newsweek. “He’s happiest when we’re all together.” She and her husband, Tobias, brought Elvis home in 2018 when he was just 8 weeks old. Since then, he’s been a loyal companion to their children—Mira, Ted, and now newborn Lilly.

Mikaela first noticed Elvis’s remarkable awareness during her pregnancy with Ted. Each time she asked about the baby, Elvis responded with a gentle boop to her belly. When she became pregnant again with Lilly, the same behavior returned—sealing her belief that Elvis truly understood what was happening.

Now that Lilly has arrived, Elvis hasn’t skipped a beat. He lies next to her, watches over Mikaela as she breastfeeds, and rushes to her side when she cries. But if it’s just a tantrum? Elvis stays put, proving he even knows when it’s serious and when it’s just baby drama.

The video’s emotional resonance sparked hundreds of touching comments. One viewer wrote, “We don’t deserve dogs.” Another added, “He’s an angel in fur.”

For Mikaela, the video still brings tears to her eyes. “There’s so much negativity in the world,” she said. “We just want to be a little bright spot.”

With his soft eyes and tender heart, Elvis has done more than just protect—he’s become a quiet symbol of love, loyalty, and the beautiful ways dogs understand us even before we speak.
