And it’s easy to see why, right? This touching photo of a devoted father with his little boy, who seems oblivious to his act of kindness, has been viewed over a million times. The doting dad is literally soaked to the skin as he walks down the street with his briefcase in one hand and his bone dry young son holding on to the handle strap of his umbrella in the other.

Oh my!

Makes me wanna cry!!!

Dads are the best thing that can happen to any child

this is what fatherhood means

heart warming aswell..

These guys don't wear singlet?

BTW the guy would have carried the boy... on one side... Make him hold him tight while he holds the umbrella

More than anything else, that Lil boy needs his father to stay alive & healthy

wow!

Na rain wan unalive and unhealthy am ni? Aye moye rain wey dey soak guy men body allday everyday

so why didn't the father carry the boy so the umbrella would cover them both



BTW it didn't move my heart not to talk of melting

Only for the boy to grow up en calls his father trash en incapable.

Involve him with the police, cause him needless pains and eventually locks him up in an Old peoples home.

Irony of life


Maybe

pictures that touches the heart ke!. I'm not moved.
its only rain, how about the mom that carried him for 9months, ordinary rain water and peoples heart are melting, i wonder how they would have reacted if they'd seen how the little boy was brought into the world.
FOR ME ITS MUMS OVER DADS ANY DAY.
even if he walks through fire to rescue his child.

I don't understand you guys. Why all the exclamations. What do you expect him to do?

Nice to have a caring Dad

Between the Child might still be touched by the rain because the man has carrying something on his other hand...



i remember the ''Akoko" days when my Papa dey carry me for shoulders! Menn the feeling was nice...

Reminds me of ma dad...

so was he expected to have covered himself and leave the kid to get drenched?

Nothing touching there but it would have been better if he had carried the child on one side so as to cover them both...

Wow!! Parents always ready to do anything to make their kids feel well, imaging my dad using Nokia asha while am planning on changing my galaxy s4.
God give my dad life to enjoy my success.
But the man could have carried the kid, then the umbrella would have been enough for both

Now dats a wonderful daddy

I don't get how dis picture is melting hearts all over the world or even touching at dat. Dat's a dad kipping his kid dry and not some stranger giving shelter to a homeless kid.

Well i think its good bt nt heart melting compare to what some of our fathers have done for us..
My advice to every nairalanders is be a good father and the head of the family...
be responsible..dnt be a drunkard in d name of flexing..
love ur immediate family first before anyone..gbam

even if he walks through fire? Silly shortsighted bias.

Do you think women would choose to go through the stress of pregnancy and labour if there was another natural but pain-free means of reproduction?

There's a difference between walking down a crooked path that is the only way to your destination, and walking down a crooked path when there are more comfortable paths to your destination.
