This is the sweet moment a pet dog comforted a toddler after she fell over whilst on a walk with her mother.

Mum Liu Yimou was running along with her daughter Haitang, two, in Leshan, Sichuan, China when the toddler suddenly stumbled and fell over on the rocky pathway.

After turning around and realizing that the tot had fallen, the family's pup Woof, also two, immediately went back to the toddler, wagging his tail to comfort her.

Afterwards, the toddler bravely stood up and tenderly gave the pooch a hug.
