Heartwarming video shows little boy whose pet pooch died sneaking into neighbour’s garage to cuddle their dog
Hollie Breaux Mallett posted footage to find out identity of her mystery visitor which has been shared four million times
A HEARTWARMNING video of a little boy sneaking into a neighbour's garage to cuddle their pet dog has been shared over four million times.
Hollie Breaux Mallet posted the footage on her Facebook page so she could try and identify the loving visitor, as she was so touched by his caring nature.
It turned out the boy, Josh Mallet, had lost his own pet pooch a year before, and just wanted to provide some love and attention to another four-legged friend.
Hollie, from Louisiana, U.S, uploaded the video social media with a shout out saying: "Attn Neighbors! Anyone know who this sweet little boy is?
"Every now and then when he rides his bike he will quickly come and love on my dog or play fetch real quick, but always leaves quick like he doesn't know if he should be here!
"I'd like to tell him he's welcome to stay and play, she loves the attention!"
In the footage Josh could be seen riding his bike past the house, then jumping off so he could run into the garage and spend some time with her pet, Duchess.
He would cuddle and play with the hound before leaving, running out and going home.
The little boy was identified within 24 hours of the post - his mother, Ginger Clement Breaux, messaged Hollie saying: 'Thanks for the add Hollie!
"Josh talks about your dog all the time! Every time we pass he looks to see if she was sitting where he could see her. Just didn't know he was doing things like this.
'Last night when I first saw it, I was torn as a momma being happy and upset because he knows he shouldn't be on someone's property, but I wake up this morning more happy that he just absolutely adores dogs so much."
Hollie was delighted to find out who her mystery guest was and said she wanted the pair to continue their time playing in her garage.
She said in a responding post: "So glad to see that innocence and love was caught on camera instead of what they are normally used for. "
"Can't believe all the views this post has received, so glad to have captured this sweetness!' She wrote.
Ginger said her son had "turned ten shades of red" when she showed him the video but "had a big smile after and said 'you know I love dogs momma.'"

Josh's own pet had died a year ago, and Ginger explained to people enquiring as to why he didn't have a dog of his own.
She posted: "I figured I would comment this on here since a lot of people are asking... currently we do not have a dog.
"We had our dog Bella since Josh was 2, but she passed away last year.
"Things have been busy and Josh is active with after school activities so we have not jumped back into taking on the responsibility of starting all over again with a new pup quite yet. It will happen though!"
