Dog does the unexpected when boy is put in timeout

A Facebook post from an Ohio mother has gone viral for hilariously capturing what her dog did when her son was put in timeout. On Jan. 26, Jillian Marie Smith shared a photo of her 3-year-old son facing the wall with his arm around their 6-month-old English mastiff, Dash. The photo's caption read, “When you’re in time out but your best pal wont let you serve your time alone". Smith’s post has since gone viral — it has received over 44,000 shares and nearly 3,000 comments. “That is so precious,” one person wrote in response. “The dog looks like he’s saying, I got you pal we’re a team". In an interview with 'Today,' Smith acknowledged that her son and her dog are strongly attached to one another. “If I have to know where Peyton is, I’m like, ‘Where’s the dog?' They’re always together.”
