While a lot of people deeply love dogs, some of them might have not liked these cute critters initially. It might have taken them some time before they finally warmed up to these pets and took a liking to them. And that’s all right!
One boy from Centerton, Arkansas has gone viral for the bond that he shares with his pooch. The 4-year-old boy’s name is Marcelo Brookhouser. And the family adopted him back in 2018.
But what made Marcelo’s story with his dog truly interesting and heartwarming was his initial fear of dogs. Holly, Marcelo’s mom, said that her son was afraid of dogs. However, the family’s rescue dog named Mini still wanted to make a connection with the boy.
Marcelo’s first days at his new home
Holly revealed that when Marcelo first arrived at their home, he was terrified of the dogs. Marcelo would scream pretty loud at the sight of dogs.

However, Mini’s unyielding love would eventually change Marcelo’s mind about pooches. She would replace Marcelo’s fears with love. Mini didn’t want to give up on Marcelo.
Something has changed — for the better
Eventually, things would get better between Marcelo and Mini. Now, the dog and the boy are sharing a strong and inseparable bond. They could be seen doing everything together from taking trips to school to watching TV and playing outside.
Marcelo said that Mini would ride in the car with him and that Mini would take him to school.
With Marcelo and Mini’s strong bond, Holly decided to take a video of them and shared it online. A website that publishes animal-related videos and articles has even picked up Marcelo and Mini’s story. As of this writing, the adorable video received more than 1.2M views on YouTube.
Holly added that by sharing the video, she wanted everyone to see how loving rescue dogs could be. This was also to encourage people to adopt dogs.
