There is a reason we love animals so much – it warms our hearts when we are near them. When this little boy saw a dog sitting alone, he just had to hug him. That moment was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Josh is a young boy who likes to ride his bike around the neighborhood. One day, as he was bicycling, he noticed that one of the houses had a garage that was wide open. Curious, he looked inside, only to find a dog sitting all by herself.

Josh rode up onto the driveway, jumped off his bike, and ran into the garage. The only thing on his mind was giving this dog a loving hug. After the heartfelt exchange, he was off again.

Most children adore animals, but to enter the garage like this was particularly daring. Rest assured, there was a powerful reason. Josh’s dog, Bella, had died only a year before this moment. The boy was still heartbroken by the loss. When he saw this black Labrador, his heart melted. He could not resist approaching the pup.

The incident was caught on tape by a home security camera. The homeowner, Hollie Mallet, was shocked when she came across this sweet scene. “This little boy loved our dog so much that he just wanted to steal a quick hug,” she explained to Inside Edition. Hollie was determined to find out who this kid was.

She took her search to Facebook, posting a caption along with the video: “Anyone know who this sweet little boy is? I’d like to tell him he’s welcome to stay and play, she loves the attention!”

When Josh’s mother saw the post, she was at a loss for words. She was glad that her son would be able to play with his new furry friend, but she was still weary of his actions. “Last night when I first saw it, I was torn as a momma being happy and upset,” she commented. “He knows he shouldn’t be on someone’s property.”

Now Josh is welcome to play with the dog, named Duchess, anytime. “I think he’s pretty much been over every day,” Hollie shared. The two are already best friends, and they have plenty of adventures ahead of them.

This adorable video shows how strong the connection between a human and an animal can be. Josh may never find a replacement for Bella, but he has plenty of room in his heart for more friends.
