Ask any dog lover about their fondest childhood memories, and they will undoubtedly tell you about some shenanigans that they experienced with their beloved canine companion when they were just a wee little tyke. Many of these memories will likely center around backyard adventures.
In the video below, one tiny human child just made what might possibly be one of his greatest childhood memories, with the help of his beloved family dog.
In this footage, this boy is going down a pretty massive slide in his backyard, and while that might be fun enough on its own, the boy’s canine sibling had an idea: turbocharging this tiny boy’s slide ride with some extra canine power to take him on a ride that was truly unforgettable.
We think it’s safe to say that when it comes to making unforgettable memories, this family dog clearly understands the assignment. This massive dog didn’t just take his tiny human brother for a ride; he took him on an adventure!

At first, he used his massive snout to gently guide his tiny human brother down the slide, but when they reached the bottom, he kicked into canine overdrive by grabbing his little brother’s foot and pulling him across the backyard on his little toy car.

Viewers on social media had a lot to say about this one. Some people joked, “Who needs a powered roller coaster when you have a big dog?” While others remarked, “That dog is going to be part of his childhood story forever.”
Some people even thought that if it weren’t for the fence, this dog never would have stopped dragging his tiny human brother: “If the fence wasn’t there, he would be getting dragged through the woods, LOL!”
Viewers also felt that the “Dog wanted him to get the full experience,” and that the dog understood exactly how to show his tiny brother a good time, commenting that “Doggo understood the assignment and executed it flawlessly.”
