Little boy playing catch with dolphin is the cutest thing you’ll watch today

WATCH: A video of a little boy playing catch with a dolphin at an aquarium has gone viral.

TORONTO – A video originally released on YouTube of a little boy playing catch with a dolphin will probably melt your heart.

The video – uploaded by Burjan Falik – shows a blond boy approximately three years old having a blast with his new friend.

Each time the dolphin returns the ball, the boy scurries across the pool deck to keep the game going. But the excitement level becomes audible when he runs away after his cetacean pal launches out of the water to complete a return.

The video was uploaded Sept. 30 and has collected nearly 300,000 views in two weeks.

Dolphins are considered one of the world’s most intelligent species.
