THE BACKYARD — What do you do when you're a little boy playing with a dog and someone hands you a stick?
You play fetch, right? Well, not if you're this little boy.

In another strong contender for "cutest video of the year," a little boy is hanging out with his dad's friend's dog. The dog is just chilling, with a stick in his mouth, as dogs do. The dog is probably hoping to run around a bit and play a rousing game of fetch with that stick. But this kid has other plans.
In the video, the dog's little human friend comes running with a stick of his own and plops right down on the ground. The little boy then appears to be trying his hardest to imitate the dog. He studies the dog for a second, then puts the stick in his mouth and tries to chomp down on it like the dog is doing.
It's a pretty adorable moment, and I think it'll make you smile. I can only assume this kid just loves this dog so much he wants to be just like it. I think these two have a long friendship ahead of them.
