This time we bring you another story, the less surprising, starring a pitbull dog and its owner, a four year old girl. The video, shared by the girl's father, has captivated even César Millán, the television dog trainer. And it is sometimes, the relationship between dogs and children can be really therapeutic!

The animal helps the girl overcome her anxiety attacks

Exactly one month ago, southern Alaska was surprised by a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale, which caused significant material damage to homes, roads and street furniture.

Although luckily there was no need to regret personal injury, the earthquake and the aftershocks that have been happening in this time, have generated serious anxiety problems to Ady, a little girl of only four years who since then suffers nightmares and trouble sleeping.

As his father explains in his Facebook account, the only thing that calms the girl at night is to sleep next to Fury, a pitbull dog that was already in the family before Ady was born.

Fury has always remained by Ady's side since his birth, and now they are both great playmates. As the father says, the girl feels protected by her side, manages to calm her anxiety when night comes and manages to sleep peacefully if Fury accompanies her.

And as it shows, this video shared on Facebook in which we can see the little girl trying to fall asleep while look for company and physical contact with your dog. Finally, the animal ends up getting into bed with her and falling asleep together, but not before being wrapped by Ady, in a really touching gesture.

"These are Ady and Fury, his best friend and bodyguard since birth. He is his best friend, weighs 45 kilos and is a pitbull dog (a breed is never" dangerous ", but the dangerous are humans). in Alaska, and recently a severe 7.0 earthquake hit us and we have suffered more than 5,000 aftershocks since then "

"For all of this, Ady is having serious anxiety problems and difficulty sleeping. The only way to calm down at night is for Fury to be by her side, protecting her and relieving her anxiety. Normally, Fury sleeps on the floor next to his bed, but that night she called him to hug him because we had another replica. Again I insist that there are no dangerous breeds: if we breed with love, dogs only show love "
