A video that's giving the Internet warm fuzzies at the moment shows a toddler comforting his pet dog during a thunderstorm. In the one-minute-long video, the toddler is seen crouching next to his golden retriever, who appears visibly distressed by sounds of a thunderstorm. The two appear to be hiding out in a washroom as the toddler tries to comfort his pet by gently stroking his head and hugging him.
Fear of thunder is common in dogs, often triggering anxiety and panic, according to Pets WebMD.
The heartwarming video of the toddler and his fur buddy, which appeared on Twitter three days ago, has already won thousands of hearts. "This little guy comforting his buddy during a thunderstorm is the best thing you'll see today," wrote the Twitter user who shared the clip. Watch it below:
