Persistent Dog Coax Down Syndrome Boy To Play.

A video has been posted online showing the heart-warming moment a gentle dog befriended a young boy with Down's Syndrome and persuades the child to play. The boy's mother, who posted the video on you tube, said Herman, five, from La Plata, Buenos Aires, usually backs away from contact. The little boy was initially reluctant to play but after much persuasion from the dog, he starts to play with the dog.  See the video after the cut.
