It’s always great when there’s a feel good story that no one can input politics into. Too many times I will write about a dog being adopted and somehow deep in the Twitter mentions people are arguing about Obama and Trump. This time around if you find yourselves doing that, you will be promptly blocked because ain’t nobody got time for that here.
Some of you may have siblings and you’ve probably gone through your ups and downs with them. If any of my siblings ever got a tattoo of my face on them I’d probably freak out just as much as this guy.
When older brother Rafa came home with a tattoo of his younger brother, Erick, there was an overflowing of joy.
The two brothers are from Rio de Janerio and the whole exchange was caught on video by the brother’s mom, Soares Sheila. There are barely any words exchanged in the video, but the pure joy and happiness you can see on Erick’s face says it all. He is very impressed.
Sheila captioned the video with:
“Look at my puppy’s reaction to the beautiful tribute, his face tattooed inside a lion’s mouth. The video is EXCITING. That’s why I saw Rafa asking Erick to make brave face.”
People on social media were head over heels in love with this inspiring story.
No debate .
The guy loves his brother .
His brother is downsyndrome….

Many other Twitter users complained that someone must be cutting onions near them because they were feeling way too emotional otherwise.
The video surprised Sheila, garnering over a million views real quick. She went onto say in a follow up post:
“My dear friends, when I posted this video I could swear that it would not cause this dimension of sharing that caused.
THIS IS CALLED GOD. Because he was the cause of the success of this video, because contrary to what many people think, I have never had anything easy in this life, only US and GOD and the closest friends know well what I’ve already spent in life so Erick is here with us.
Out many battles, many approvals, many fights, many defeats, and many victories, but I never gave up on my children. And I won.”
She continued on, saying:
“Do you know why? Because God exists yes, just have faith, perseverance and believe that one day everything will solve.
I swear to all of you that my intention when I posted this video was just to show one more of their episodes.
Many thanks to all the friends who shared the video of my children, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart to all you guys.”
Honestly, it’s a beautiful tattoo when you just look at it and have no context about it also! See Post Malone, this is the type of reaction you’re supposed to receive after a tattoo!
