Anand Mahindra shares adorable video of pet dog consoling crying boy: 'When you have friends'

Someone wise once said, "Friends are the family you choose," and rightly so. You can be related to someone by blood but if you weren't, some of them you wouldn't even give the time of day. Celebrating the true spirit of friendship, industrialist Anand Mahindra recently shared an adorable video on International Friendship Day that shows a crying boy being consoled by his pet. Read on to know more.

What does the video show?

The 39-second clip opens with a shot of a little boy sitting on the floor with his back to the couch and crying inconsolably. It's heartbreaking to see a child so young cry like for something any adult would know is not a big deal. But for the little boy maybe it was. Luckily for viewers, the boy has an adorable companion who does a very good job of consoling him. His pet dog, all white and fluffy, first comes to him to figure out why he's crying. He then goes to the other end of the room only to return with a tissue so the boy can wipe his face. The boy, somewhat consoled by now, looks at his adorable friend and proceeds to hug him. Anand Mahindra shared this video on X on the occasion of International Friendship Day to celebrate the spirit of true friendship, and most in the comments section agreed a cuter video did not exist.

How did the internet react?

The clip was shared on August 4 and in less than two hours raked in 162.6k views, 5,284 likes and comments to match. "True friends make every tear a shared experience," wrote one X user. "Adorable indeed," added another. "Cute relationships," chimed in a third. "Friendship is never with special people... the people with whom we are friends become special," shared user Suleman Khan.
