There’s nothing quite like the bond between a child and their pet, and one little boy and his golden retriever are proving just that! A mother shared some heartwarming videos of her young son interacting with their family dog, and the moments are simply adorable. It’s easy to see why she calls them “her two best boys.”
“Brotherhood comes in the form of dogs, too,” Mom wrote in the caption of her social media post.

Maui, the golden retriever, isn’t just a pet to this toddler—he’s a best friend, a teacher, and so much more. In the videos, the mother shows how her son learns from playing with Maui. In one clip, the little boy learns to climb the stairs by watching Maui go up first. Later, she captures her son gently covering the sleepy dog with a blanket. It looks like caring for his furry friend is helping him become a more thoughtful person!

These two are almost always together. Whether they’re playing outside or cuddling on the couch, their affection for each other is clear. When the toddler rides his bike, Maui is right there beside him, cheering him on. At bedtime, the child gives his pup a sweet goodnight kiss. No wonder Mom says the golden retriever is “the best companion to grow up with” for her son!
People who have seen the videos are falling in love with the boy and his special friendship with the dog.
“Please God let that dog grow with that child forever,” wrote one user.
Another added, “Kids who grew up having pets are very compassionate. Having lived for 34 years, the people I met who grew up having pets are the nicest and warmest.”
That couldn’t be more true! From the way this toddler treats his golden retriever, it’s clear he’s going to grow up to be an incredibly kind person.
