It might sound a bit strange to discover a child repeatedly entering your garage through surveillance footage, but for one woman, it turned out to be an endearing moment worth sharing. In a video that quickly gained traction on social media, a young boy rides his bike past a neighbor’s garage where a dog waits eagerly. He hops off his bike, dashes up the driveway, wraps his arms around the pup in the sweetest hug, and then vanishes in a flash! He races back to his bike and speeds away like a little hugging bandit.
Fortunately, the dog’s owner had set up a camera to monitor her pet and captured this delightful encounter. However, she had no clue who the boy was. She wished she could tell him that he was welcome to stay and play with her furry friend. It seems the boy may have been anxious about trespassing or perhaps thought the dog’s owner might not be fond of kids.
After reaching out online, the boy was identified as a dog enthusiast named Sam. His mother commented on the video, saying, “Sam talks about your dog all the time! Every time we pass by, he looks to see if she’s in view. I just didn’t realize he was doing things like this. 🙈 Last night when I first saw it, I felt a mix of happiness and concern as a mom because he knows he shouldn’t be on someone’s property, but this morning, I’m just thrilled that he loves dogs so much!”
Luckily, the owner of the dog, Bella, was more than happy to extend an invitation for Sam to visit again. She also shared an update, saying, “So the mystery is solved! I hope this sweet little boy Sam keeps coming by to play and share his love with Bella. A dog is a friend for life!”
Thanks to the wonders of social media, where the video has racked up over 3.1 million views, Sam has since returned to see Bella—this time without any sneaking around. Judging by the cute selfies they’ve taken together, it seems like the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
