A video has been posted online showing
the heart-warming moment a gentle dog befriended a young boy with Down's
Syndrome and persuades the child to play. The boy's mother, who posted
the video on you tube, said Herman, five, from La Plata, Buenos
Aires, usually backs away from contact. The little boy was initially
reluctant to play but after much persuasion from the dog, he starts to
play with the dog. See more pics and the video after the cut...
