In a clip that will melt your heart, a wonderfully kind and thoughtful Boxer dog shows the world just how to be a true friend to someone right when they need it.

There's a reason why dogs make great support animals. They are not only clever but also have such big hearts. Dogs could teach us humans a thing or two about love, patience, and selflessness.

Dogs will do anything for those they love, whether human or four-legged. Like Dexter, the Boxer dog shows, they will even be someone else's eyes.

Brotherly love

Dexter has gone viral for his enduring act of love and selflessness towards his blind canine sibling, Ginger. The clever and kind-hearted dog has worked out the best way to help his blind sibling get down the stairs without tripping or falling.

Using his body and the wall on one side, Dexter provides a safe space for Ginger to descend each step one at a time. Dexter pauses on each step ahead of Ginger and waits patiently for his pup brother to step down before he moves to the next one. Dexter repeatedly looks back to reassure Ginger, and once the pair safely reaches the bottom, they both wag their tails in happiness.

Just the Two of Us

The heartwarming clip is appropriately set to the Grover Washington, Jr song, 'Just the Two of Us', and has been watched more than 4 million times.

While many viewers admit that the clip brought them to tears, others agreed that humans "don't deserve dogs." One TikToker shared their own experience of having a blind and deaf dog, whose other pup would help avoid bumping into things. 

It's just another reason to love dogs!
