Heart-warming moment dog coaxed down's syndrome boy to play with him

A video has been posted online showing the heart-warming moment a gentle dog befriended a young boy with Down's Syndrome and persuades the child to play. The boy's mother, who posted the video on you tube, said Herman, five, from La Plata, Buenos Aires, usually backs away from contact. The little boy was initially reluctant to play but after much persuasion from the dog, he starts to play with the dog. See the video after the cut...

1. If this dog(God's creature) felt what d boy was going tru;how much more our maker(God)
2. The dog did not give up; just like God will never give up on us.
3. The dog was not forceful, he was gentle and kept trying different avenues to touch dis boy! God does same to us!
4. The kept pushing and moving away, just like we do to God!
5. It was clear the dog had a purpose and he wasn't going to let anything stop him for reaching his goal(not even d ticks dat kept biting him) lol.
6. The dog got his desired result am sure he was pretty glad bout it! How much more God about us when he gets us where just where he wants us to be, how happy/loved he wants us to feel!
DO NOT GIVE UP! There is a GOD in YOU, just like there is a GOD in this DOG!
I am Still in awe!

A dog is man's best friend.

If animals can reach out then we as humans should always reach out to people in need or distress and never give up on them. Did you guys see how the dog touched his shoulders and the look on its face?

Mistr Tee said...

Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "The little boy was initially reluctant to play but after much persuasion from the dog, he starts to play with the dog"?There was no where in the video that the little boy played with the dog despite the persuasion,the boy was strongly reluctant but the moral of the video is the DOG acting like a human or ANGEL with his hands around the boy's shoulders like he had a message from God to tell him "It is well".NICE SHARE THOUGH

Wow dis video is so touching! I still dnt understand why will human be wicked to a fellow human? Look @ how nice and kind animal are to a human. Believe me the dog knows wat dat boy is going through. My eyes are full of tears. Dat dog is better than millions of heartless pplin dis world. Frm Uche

Dogs! Dogs! Dogs! Dogs! I have dogs all my life. When I just had my baby, my dog would stay right by her side while sleeping would never let any stranger come close to her, if I am in the bath and my baby woke up from sleep she wld run from one end of the room to the other trying to get my attention to let me know baby is awake. Now my daughter is almost 5 and they are best of friends, if I spank my kid and the dog feels it was unecessary she would go on try to lick my daughter's tears off, if she feels my daughter deserved it she wld just walk right pass her. They are truly truly amazing.

Oh my God!, imagine how the dog touches his shoulder as if he was consoling the poor boy....to me the dog said in his heart" don't worry boy, it's gonna be okay"! God, can we still find human beings with such heart like that of this dog? Shedding tears.

Diary of Dido said...

The boy either really likes attention or is rather quite unfeeling due to his circumstances.
God will see him through.

Anonymous said...

Jesus said if MEN can not praise him, he will raise a stone to praise him. Maybe, the boy has been rejected and God RAISED the Dog to replace Man in the boy's life. A lesson for today
