I have linked this post to a video of a young boy who has Down's Syndrome, and a beautiful and gentle yellow Labrador.
The Labrador is trying to make friends with the boy, and is determined to do so, but never pushes boundaries, or becomes overly keen or excitable.
It was heart warming to watch, especially as I love Labradors - I have two yellow ones myself.
You can watch the video Here. It is on YouTube under the title ' Loving dog takes care of little boy with Down's Syndrome'
