For dog lovers, you'll so love this video, and for folks who are do not like dogs (or any other pets), hopefully, this will make you have a change of heart.

Himalaya is a Yellow Labrador Retriever (yikes! I'm starting to learn the various breeds). She's refusing to give up on a toddler who doesn't want to play.

Little Hernán, from Buenos Aires, has Down Syndrome, which, according to comments posted by his mom Ana, causes him to shy away from physical contact.

But Himalaya is persistent and gentle, and Hernán ends up giving her what looks like a hug around the 3:12 mark.

If only people had the heart of a dog.....

My heart goes out to parents of children with Down Syndrome. You guys are doing a wonderful job!

Watch the video and share your thoughts.

Sorry about that Rhythm. The video shows an "awwww" moment when a gentle dog tries to persuade Little Hernán, a boy with Downs Syndrome, to play. After several attempts with the boy back away and the dog not giving up, Hernán finally warms up and started playing with the dog.

It's better when you watch but I hope my explanation is good enough.

That was so very touching. I love dogs, had them all my life and look after them well. A few years back I was seriously ill, and when I came out of hospital my rotweilers were a great comfort.

There are many breeds of dogd, that are very very good with children. Like stafforshire bull terriers, they used to be called nanny dogs many years back.

A thread with a difference, very refreshing.

Dog is a man's best friend....lessons to be learn here: Persistence and patience pays off. The dog was determined to play with the child and the gentle persistence paid off.
