When our golden retriever, Beau, wouldn’t stop barking at our nanny, Claire, we thought he was being territorial—or jealous. We even considered rehoming him. But one night, I checked the security footage. What I saw made my stomach twist.

Beau wasn’t misbehaving. He was warning us.

After our daughter Zoey was born, Beau became extra alert—especially around the crib. When we hired Claire to help, he growled, barked, and even blocked her path to Zoey. It scared us. Claire complained constantly.

Then, one night while we were out, Claire called, panicked, claiming Beau tried to attack her. We rushed home, and something felt off.

I checked the security footage.

Claire had set up a tablet to livestream our daughter—without our knowledge. “Nanny Nights: Part 12” flashed across the screen, hearts and comments pouring in. She was sharing Zoey’s bedtime routine with strangers online.

Then Zoey began to choke.

Claire, wearing earbuds, didn’t notice.

But Beau did.

He barked, nudged the crib, even snapped near Claire—not to bite, but to get her attention. It worked. She saved Zoey but then locked Beau in the nursery, blaming him for everything.

We confronted Claire the next day—with screenshot in hand. She didn’t argue. She just left.

We reported her, but the real hero? Beau.

We had a silver tag made for him: Zoey’s Guardian.

Now he sleeps by her crib every night. Not because we fear the worst—but because we know who truly protects her. Beau isn’t just our dog. He’s our daughter’s guardian angel.
