This video captures a very special moment between a beautiful little boy with Down syndrome and the sweetest lab dog I’ve ever seen.

The lab tries so hard to befriend the boy, amiably putting his paws on the child, almost asking for acceptance.

The boy is very unsure at first as he cautiously scoots back. As the dog patiently persists, finally the child gives in and embraces the dog with open arms.

If this touching video doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what will!
