An adorable photo of a dog joining his best buddy in time-out so he didn’thave to serve it alone has gone viral.

Jillian Smith says her 3-year-old son, Peyton, was being punished aftergetting into a fight with his 5-year-old sister. She gave him two choices: goto your room or go to time-out.

Peyton chose time-out.

With his head against the wall, the family’s English mastiff named Dashdecided to join him.

“When you’re in time out but your best pal wont let you serve your timealone,” Smith wrote.

The photo of the duo has been shared over 43,000 times on Facebook.

When Smith saw them together, she told The Dodo: “I couldn’t be mad longbecause it was just so cute how Peyton wrapped his arm around Dash. WhenPeyton had to go to time-out, I think Dash knew he needed his buddy.”
