A video of a little boy hugging a dog statue in a store because he misses his pet is melting hearts online, having been viewed by 2.3 million people.
In the footage, which was shared to TikTok by an account called Lupeskincarerange, we can see a toddler playing with a brown Labrador in a garden.
Text overlaying the clip, which can be watched here, reads: "We didn't realise how much our girl missed her bestie till we were at the shop and she did this......"
The camera then cuts to the little child in the store, wandering over to a statue of guide dog, which is also a charity collection box, in the shape of yellow Labrador.
The child, whose name is Lupe, then throws his arms around the metal dog, and cuddles it—how sweet!
