Sometimes we need one of those golly gee-whiz moments where we look at something adorable, simply adorable and heartwarming, for no reason other than to feel joy. This is one of those moments. I survived cancer for moments such a this.

My sister Eva sent me an email, one of those ‘go viral’ endlessly forwarded emails. I cannot verify if any of this is true or not, but I don’t really care to be honest. The body of the message reads as follows:

A family in New York began visiting shelters to look for the perfect pup.
After a few weeks of searching local shelters, they found a puppy that they fell in love with – Theo.
He craved human friendship and attention. Three days after coming home with them, he joined their son, Beau, for his daily nap. Beau’s mother began taking “nap” pictures and now they are warming hearts around the world.

Attached to the email are 16 different photos of the boy during nap time. Seeing how the dog and the boy melt into one another, well, it is indeed heart warming.

I present to you, A boy and his dog.
