This is the touching moment a boy with a rare condition interacts with his puppy.
Eight-year-old Hugh from Birmingham in the West Midlands was born with a rare genetic disorder called FOXG1 syndrome, which causes multiple profound learning disabilities.
One month ago, Barney - a 12-week-old springer spaniel arrived in his life. Since then, a very special bond has developed between the two.
Footage shows Hugh ‘'holding hands'' with Barney as the puppy sits on his lap.
Hugh’s mother later wrote online: "Barney is learning to be incredibly gentle and calm with Hugh."
In the video, Barney gently sits on Hugh’s lap and nudges his hand with his head. He then lifts his paw to high-five and holds hands with Hugh.
"This isn’t something we taught him and both my husband and I were moved to tears just watching the beautiful and unexpected interaction between Hugh and Barney," she added.
The clip was filmed on July 29.
