DO."The adorable dog named Liam, showing loyalty by standing beside a 4-year-old boy during his mother's disciplinary action, garners immense affection on social media."

A captivating photo has been circulating on social media, featuring a dog standing by his 4-year-old owner during a timeout. Jillian Smith, a resident of Norwalk, Ohio, shared this heartwarming image last month on Facebook, where it has garnered a remarkable 43,000 shares.

Detailing the moment, Smith explained, “I just happened to have my phone on me at the time he was in timeout and took the picture.” According to Smith, Peyton, her son, had a moment of frustration and ended up hitting his 5-year-old sister, Ryleigh. Consequently, they needed to be separated, and Peyton was given the option to either go to his room or take a timeout. He chose the latter.

During Peyton’s timeout, their English Mastiff, Dash, spontaneously joined him for companionship. The touching photograph sparked a flood of comments on Smith’s Facebook post, with thousands expressing their admiration for the inseparable duo.
